    Medical Coding and Billing Training Program

    What Medical Coding and Billing Training Does Career Step Offer?

    Career Step offers two online medical coding and billing training programs:

    Inpatient and Outpatient Medical Coding and Billing (IOMCB)
    • Career Step's premier medical coding and billing training program
    • Prepares students to be both inpatient and outpatient medical coders
    • Includes preparation for the CCA and CPC certification exams
    • 640 hours of curriculum and hands-on experience
    Outpatient Medical Coding and Billing (OMCB)
    • Prepares students for careers in outpatient medical coding and billing
    • Includes preparation for the CCA and CPC certification exams
    • 570 hours of curriculum and hands-on experience

    The additional inpatient training in the AHIMA-approved Inpatient and Outpatient Medical Coding and Billing program expands your skill set, making you more flexible and more in demand when you're looking for a job.

    How Long Will the Training Take?

    The medical billing and coding training programs are designed to be completed in 4 months of full-time study. However, the online format allows you to study on your own schedule and your own pace, so your enrollment includes 12 months of program access in case you need extra time.

    What Will I Be Learning?

    In both of the Career Step medical billing and coding training programs you'll learn:
    • Medical terminology
    • Healthcare structure and reimbursement
    • Confidentiality and ethics
    • Anatomy and pharmacology
    • Medical record types and formats
    • And more

    After establishing a solid knowledge foundation, you'll move to the "practicum" section. In the practicum, you'll develop your coding skills by practicing on hundreds of authentic patient records. This hands-on experience will prepare you to transition to the workforce as soon as you graduate.

    Testimonials

    • "I was very fortunate to find a job to fit my requirements perfectly within the first month. While I found the course to be exactly what it was advertised to be and I was very please with the training I received, I cannot say enough about Graduate Support! I was not expecting the level of involvement with my job search that Career Step provided. In my opinion, Career Step does not consider you to have completed the course until you have found employment!" -Jennifer, Arkansas Read More Testimonials »
    • "I was able to get a job within 3 weeks of graduating, which was largely related to the Career Step name on my resume. I have talked to people and read that many new grads from other schools are looking for work for 4 to 6 months. I love my job and, while I am still learning the details of the job, I was well prepared for the work!" -Amanda, Texas Read More Testimonials »
