Medical Coding Professional Certificate

Our program is designed to meet the professional needs of those seeking careers in Medical Coding. For your convenience, courses for this program are offered online or on campus. Our online and traditional courses are interchangeable, meaning you take classes when it is convenient for you.

Coders interpret doctor-originated information from patient charts, classify it, and assign appropriate numerical codes.  These codes are necessary for statistics, billings, and quality assurance.  The person who assigns these codes must be fully trained and accurate.  Our experienced instructors are experts in the field and are trained to teach you the latest industry standards and practices. Medical Terminology and Anatomy & Physiology courses are not required for LPNs and RNs for certificate completion. Proof of licensure must be submitted to wpeinfo@ocean.edu.
