Medical coders provide an important service to healthcare providers.
Coding principles are applied correctly in order to ensure the correct code sequence. These individuals review each patient's medical record to identify which diagnoses and procedures are to be reported. This highly skilled individual is needed by healthcare organizations today to meet the challenges mandated by the Healthcare Financing Administration. The goal of the Medical Coding Program at the Institute of Legal and Medical Professions is to develop a solid foundation in all areas of coding and medical billing. Everything the student learns will be used to become proficient in the basic skills of medical coding and billing.
