According to the Department of Labor, as the number of practices increases, the need for medical coders will also increase, ultimately resulting in a projected 13 percent job growth from 2016 to 2026. The majority of Medical Coders are promoted from within the practice. Two to three years’ experience in administrative areas is preferred prior to holding a coding position.
The Medical Coding program student will complete instructional and laboratory procedure simulations for a period of up to 18 weeks in length. Successful completion of all courses is required to receive a program certificate of completion.
