Medical Billing and Coding

Bellevue College ETPL
Medical Billing and Coding program will serve the growing need for medical coders and billers as we experience the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the transition to ICD-10 and electronic coding systems, the legal requirement for increased medical documentation, and the increasing age and retirement rate of the coding workforce. This program utilizes the core health professions courses we already have in place, with the addition of supplemental specialty skill courses. No previous medical office experience is required to enter the program.
