  School of Health Professions 2021-2023 Catalog Health Informatics Medical Coding, Certificate Program Description  

Program Description



The 21-credit, online medical coding certificate program prepares students with the skills to classify medical data from inpatient, outpatient, and physician office records.

Changes in reimbursement methods and an increased demand to report coded data to insurance companies has made coding a skill in high demand in all health care settings. Coded data is also critical to medical research, medical and allied health education, as well as planning and monitoring public health. The current shortage of qualified coders has resulted in many perks on the job that may including flexible hours, sign-on bonuses, and the potential to work from home. In addition, consulting and travel opportunities are abundant.
