Work closely with other healthcare professionals as a medical billing specialist!
The program is designed to be completed in 4 months. Successful completion will prepare you to sit for the Certified Professional Biller exam and work in a medical billing department at a physician’s office, clinic, facility, other healthcare entity, or as a claims examiner for insurance carriers.
At Lakewood University, we will give you the skills necessary to qualify for entry-level employment with various healthcare facilities. A medical billing specialist works closely with insurance companies, health care providers, and patients.
Medical billers compile data from medical coders and submit claims to insurance companies, then bill patients. As a medical biller, you will also verify patients’ insurance coverage, handle collections on unpaid accounts, and manage your facilities’ accounts receivable reports.
Lakewood University’s Medical Billing program will provide knowledge-based training and instruction on medical billing practices, EHR data keeping, and insurance policies.
