Certification
Many current events have created a crisis in the health services and insurance industries. There are far more patients than there are doctors, nurses and other medical professionals, so the Federal government has been forced to step in to create incentives to attract more people into these industries. While you need at least a college degree to qualify for most jobs in the industry, office support roles, like medical billing and coding specialists are growing at a rate of over 20% a year, with no end in sight.
The Medical Billing and Coding Program educational objectives give students the opportunity to become certified. The cost of the Certification Exam is $117.00. This link will take you directly to the Certification Exam for Certified Medical Billing and Coding Specialist with NHA
