Medical Coding & Billing

CBT Offers Medical Billing and Coding Programs in Miami Dade FL

Within the Medical Billing and Coding Programs at CBT there are two different technical areas of focus;

The Medical Coding program teaches students to review medical documentation provided by physicians and other health care practitioners and translate this information into standardized numerical codes.

A student in our medical coding school also learns to assign and sequence diagnostic and procedural codes using universally recognized coding systems. The codes are used to facilitate third party reimbursement, statistical classification and research, and to examine utilization patterns.

A student in our medical billing school will learn to assist, in an ethical manner, in the revenue cycle; helping both the patient in obtaining maximum insurance plan benefits, and ensuring a cash flow to the health care provider. Upon completion of the medical billing courses, students may choose to continue coursework toward an associate degree in Health Information Management Technology.
