Medical Coding Certificate

Prepare for a career in physician's offices, hospitals, health care services, outpatient care centers, and nursing and residential care facilities. Kaplan University's Medical Coding certificate program is designed to help you examine and understand health care delivery systems, medical health care information terminologies, and classification systems for diseases.

As a medical coder, you'll abstract clinical information from a variety of medical records and assign appropriate diagnostic and procedural codes to patient records. These codes allow for proper data retrieval, data analysis, and claims processing. You will also learn to utilize computer software to categorize patients into one of several hundred "diagnosis-related groups" (DRG).
 
You'll be trained to meet the highest standards of professionalism, confidentiality, and ethics. Kaplan University's curriculum has been developed by a recognized authority in medical coding, and courses are taught by instructors with years of industry experience.
