Medical Terminology
Because of advances in the medical field and an aging population, the medical industry is in constant need of medical professionals, especially those with an understanding of medical terminology. Medical terminology is the specific language used by professionals in the medical industry. Understanding medical terminology is vital when entering a number of medical professions, including Medical Billing, Medical Coding, and Medical Administration.
Medical Coding
In order to streamline medical insurance claims, every symptom, diagnosis, procedure, and treatment is assigned a universal numeric code. As a medical coding specialist, it's up to you to expertly determine these codes based on notes and information provided by the physician. This numeric language tells the payor exactly what services were performed. Without this standardized coding system and without knowledgeable medical coders, medical insurance claims could not be paid.
Medical Billing
Healthcare has become one of the fastest growing industries in the United States! With the creation of HMO's, PPO's, and managed care, physicians need employees who understand the complexities of insurance billing. Because of this demand, medical billing has become one of the most popular careers in the nation. Responsibilities involve accurately completing claim forms, promptly billing insurance companies, and adhering to each insurance carrier's policies and procedures. (This program only available to United States residents and Military Personnel.)
