What you'll learn

Earn your medical coding certification with this Comprehensive Medical Coding Certification microcredential!

You will be able to accurately apply CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes for patient encounters and services, list current coding guidelines, and enter codes onto forms and into electronic billing systems to ensure optimum reimbursement.
