The medical coder/abstractor/biller certificate curriculum is designed to prepare
students to function as medical coders, abstractors, and billers in health record
services located in hospitals, nursing homes, ambulatory care facilities, insurance
companies, and governmental agencies. The coder/abstractor/biller is trained in the
following functions normally performed by a health record service: analyzing and
technically evaluating health records and reports; compiling, interpreting, and utilizing
hospital and health care statistics; coding symptoms, diseases, and operations
according to recognized classification systems; and abstracting and retrieving medical
information. Students will be introduced to specialty coding and electronic billing
requirements in an outpatient setting. All students must complete HINM-designated
courses within the three years prior to graduation. HINM-designated courses not
meeting this time requirement must be retaken, or the student must test out in current
course content.
This certificate is a career program and may not readily transfer to four year colleges/universities (except in special cases.)
