Officially established in 2007 but founded in 2000, Tri-County Allied Health School is a pioneer in educating healthcare professionals for a career as a Medical Coder.  This Institution offers some of the most comprehensive medical coding programs in Southern California.  Led by Mr. Arnold Ardevela, our programs not only gives students an in-depth study of medical coding and reimbursement but it also gives them the practical know how to apply that knowledge in real world situations. 

In our state of the art campus we prepare students to obtain nationally recognized credentials as a Medical Coder.  We have dedicated technology, resources, a computer lab and partnerships with several healthcare facilities to give students the educational foundation, training and hands-on experience they need to advance in their medical coding careers.

We have medical coding programs available for those without any medical background, experience or training.  We also have programs available for those who want to take their training to the next level and obtain a different credential or focus on a subspecialty of medical coding.
Our Medical Coding Specialist Program consists of 800 course hours completed in 13 months.  It caters to those without any medical experience or training and prepares them to be a hospital-based coder and obtain their Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) credential.  Our advanced training courses are for coding professionals who wish to obtain other credentials such as the Certified Professional Coding (CPC) credential as well as the CCS credential.  The education for a Medical Coder never stops.  Coding guidelines, policies and procedures will change and it is our duty here at Tri-County Allied Health School to make sure you are always one step ahead.
