Medical billing and coding classes

Our Medical Coding Fundamentals professional development pathway is self-paced, consists of around 30 hours of content, and you have 12 months to complete it.

The BLS* projects an 8% growth between 2019 and 2029 for Medical Records and Health Information Technicians.

Typically, the Medical Records and Health Information Technicians role requires a post-secondary certificate such as our Medical Records Certificate program. This program also prepares you to sit for the Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) exam, a national industry certification offered through the National Healthcare Association.

While completion of a college course or professional development course might help fill a skills gap, it may not lead to employment in this role.

_{*BLS projections are not specific to University of Phoenix students or graduates.}

If you complete one of our college courses, you can request a transcript for it from University of Phoenix.

If you choose to take a noncredit professional development pathway, you will get a certificate of completion once you have completed all assessments with a score of 85% or better. You can share this certificate on your resumé and LinkedIn® profile.

Our college credit certificate program is a focused collection of 8 courses that provides a comprehensive look at a specific field of study instead of just focusing on one course or subject. It also prepares you to sit for the Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) exam, a national industry certification offered through the National Healthcare Association. To give you a kickstart on a degree — and to help you save time and money — all credits from this certificate program can also be transferred into our Bachelor of Science in Health Administration (BSHA) degree program.

Noncredit professional development pathways are a great way to explore a new field, gain a new skill or fine-tune your career. These pathways are self-paced and you will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course that you can share on your resumé or LinkedIn® profile.
