Medical Billing is the process of sending and following up on medical claims that have been submitted to health insurance companies ensuring that proper reimbursement is received. The need for medical billers has greatly increased due to the demand for knowledge and understanding of Healthcare Compliance, patient privacy and both government and commercial payers.

Additional responsibilities of a Medical Biller can include verifying patient health plan coverage, gathering and updating patient information, obtaining prior authorization for treatment and posting payments to patient accounts. This program will train students to understand the complete medical billing cycle, become familiar with CPT, HCPCS Level II and ICD-10-CM codes, how to read and understand an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and CMS 1500 claim form.
Students completing this program will be able to apply for employment opportunities in doctor’s offices, clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, labs, public health facilities and insurance companies.

This program works well with my schedule and I really liked that it is self-paced. This program covered everything I need to know about coding and billing. I also really enjoyed the classroom atmosphere and friends I made. I feel prepared to search for a job.
Tamara GibbonsStudent
I previously worked in a hospital setting in medical records and now that my children are grown up I wanted to re-enter the work force and receive the most current education for coding. Now it’s my turn to learn! I highly recommend this program I feel it’s complete with medical terminology and step by step coding.
Diana CarverStudent
I have attended two courses at mtech over the last 6 years and wouldn’t choose any other school to go to. I came back this last year to start medical billing and coding and have had the best experience with my teacher and classmates.
Olivia WarenskiStudent
I love being a part of the Medical Coding Program at MTECH. The instructors are so passionate, it's contagious! I have truly found a passion for learning through their experience and guidance and I really appreciate how flexible the schedules are. I refer their programs to everyone I know!
