Medical Transcription, Billing and Coding Certificate
Why cross train in Transcription, Coding and Billing?
Cross-training in MT, Coding, and billing make you a triple threat in the job market! Cross-training in MT, Coding, Billing make sense and is a logical progression of training. The patient medical record is created by the MT from audio dictation, then the medical coder abstracts the diagnoses, procedures, and supplies used during the visit and applies alphanumeric codes to each, then the record goes to the medical biller who bills the insurance company for reimbursement. Having all three skills sets would be very valuable to someone who may one day want to start their own business. You could type the reports, then code, and bill them. All three careers are intimately related and are projected to grow through 2018 according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Medical careers seldom feel an economic recession like many other career fields do. Now is the time to change your life and decide on a new career path.
