Medical Coding Technician Certificate

Medical coding is the transformation of verbal descriptions of diseases, injuries, and procedures into alphanumeric codes. A coding technician is an individual who reviews and analyzes health records to identify relevant diagnoses and procedures for reimbursement purposes, in the assessment of clinical care, and for support of medical research activity.

Medical coding technicians can work on-site, but many work from home or travel as contractual medical coding technicians.
