Emphasis is placed on skills needed to become a medical billing clerk or an entry-level medical coder.

  • Earn a “C” or above in Intermediate English and Reading (ENG 0124)

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

All students admitted into the program will be required to pay for a background check and a drug screening which will be performed after admission and prior to any clinical experiences. These fees are a part of the registration fees listed on the student's account. There are certain convictions which will prevent an individual from being eligible to participate in any clinical experiences through our affiliates. If a student is unable to participate in any clinical experiences due to the results of the background check, he/she will still be able to complete the 1-year Career Certificate.

If the student is employed in the healthcare field this may be able to take the place of the clinical experience offered through our affiliates depending on the nature of their job duties.

Some affiliates may also require a Mantoux Two-Step TB Skin Test, this test will be performed at the student's expense through the healthcare provider of their own choosing.
