The Medical Office Program prepares
students to work in a medical office, clinic, hospital, public health agency, or insurance
setting. Students receive advanced-level training in diagnostic and procedural
coding, insurance billing, transcription, and medical accounting software use.
Graduates of the program may be hired as physician office managers, transcriptionists,
insurance billers/coders, and receptionists.
Duties of a medical office employee can include scheduling appointments and surgeries,
preparing and maintaining medical records, ordering supplies, obtaining referral and
surgery pre-authorizations, entering medical charges and remittances, preparing insurance
billing, transcribing patient encounters, preparing financial reports, and even credits
and collection procedures.
Employees in the medical office field must be flexible and prepared to adapt to changes
that occur in the health industry, such as procedural code revision or software and
equipment updates. |
