Start a new career in six months
Launch your health care career with our online Medical Coding Professional program
Just think! In less than a year from now, you can complete our Medical Coding Professional program, pass the certification and start your great new job in health care.
You may be wondering – what does a coding professional do?
It isn’t like being a secret agent but it’s still interesting and important work.
You’ll translate patient records into medical codes that are used for:
- Billing invoices
- Insurance claims
- Medical research
All your classes will be online
That’s right! You can complete the entire program online.
Since your new career will be digitally focused, it makes sense for us to deliver it that way as well.
Learn by doing. It’s kind of like a class and an internship rolled into one.
Add a credential to your name
Our program helps you get ready for the Certified Professional Coder (CPC®) exam licensed by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC).
Earn college credit
If you decide you want to advance your health care career, we can help!
Once you earn your CPC® credential, you’re eligible to receive seven college credits for prior learning that you can apply to an associate degree in Health Information Technology (HIT).
And our credits transfer if you want to earn a bachelor’s degree in HIT.
You’re just a few keystrokes away from your future
Because it’s a Workforce and Continuing Education (WCE) program, you don’t even have to apply for admission!
To learn more about the program consult the College Catalog or contact the WCE Center for Health Careers at healthcareers@macomb.edu or 586.226.4807.
