Cert in Health and Medical Administrative Services

This specialist program readies students for beginning administrative jobs in healthcare. Students learn how medical codes, insurance claims, payment systems, regulatory compliance, and electronic records fit together. The program is a full-time, nine-month certificate running from September to June, with a cohort starting each fall. Courses include human biology, medical terminology, insurance and billing, ICD-10 and CPT coding, compliance and auditing, exam preparation, and a practicum. Graduates are positioned to sit for a national entry-level billing and coding credential run by a healthcare career organization, and they should understand privacy rules for health information. Financial aid and workforce funding may be available, and the college runs the program in a live-session virtual format that lets students attend from anywhere with an internet connection.
