Course Information

Keeping a healthy bottom line for healthcare organizations.

Medical insurance, billing, and coding are critical components of the healthcare system. Without either field, the healthcare industry would be unable to efficiently transmit important data, and healthcare providers would find it difficult to be paid for their services. Berkeley College's degree and certificate programs in Medical Insurance, Billing, and Coding prepare students to manage vast amounts of medical insurance and billing information. These programs prepare students with the important business and technology skills needed for positions in medical insurance, billing, and coding. Courses provide students with the required knowledge and skills to become nationally certified.
