Why Choose a Career In Medical Coding?

Medical coders play an integral role in today’s healthcare industry by analyzing medical records and data for the purpose of billing and insurance reimbursement. The specialized skill set medical coders possess makes them an indispensible asset in doctors’ offices, clinics, hospitals, insurance companies and medical billing agencies. The future of the medical coding field is very promising: employment is expected to grow 22 percent by 2022, much faster than the average growth rate for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Medical Coding Program Highlights

Our streamlined medical coding certificate program is designed so you can begin your career in only 9 months. You’ll only take courses that you’ll use on the job, beginning with anatomy and physiology, medical terminology and pathophysiology. You’ll then learn how to translate medical documentation into diagnostic and procedural codes and how to apply the codes using reimbursement methodologies. Finally, you’ll prepare for official medical coding certification and build on your procedure and diagnosis coding training.

Sullivan’s medical coding certificate program adheres to the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) education standards in order to provide the highest quality healthcare education to our students.
