Chairperson: Lori Fragoso
908-709-7452
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Medical Billing and Coding Specialists organize
and manage health information data by ensuring its quality, accuracy, accessibility and security in both paper and electronic systems. Medical Billing and Coding Specialists utilize coding
languages to properly categorize various diseases and treatments. They may also review
billing and insurance claim files and recommend them for approval or further investigation,
subsequently providing information to ensure accurate insurance reimbursement. Medical
Billing and Coding Specialists do not provide direct patient care; however, they are regularly
in contact with physicians and/or physician’s representatives. Employment of medical records
and health information technicians is expected to increase by 21 percent from 2010 and
2020 (Bureau of Labor Statistics).
This training program provides the student with the required coding languages to become a
Medical Billing and Coding Specialist in the allied health field. Students will learn both diagnostic (ICD-10-CM) and procedural coding (CPT- 4), in addition to anatomy & physiology,
procedural terminology, and medical billing.
This certificate program requires that you possess a high school diploma or the equivalent
prior to enrolling. Also highly recommended are basic secretarial skills, minimum typing of
35 wpm and basic computer knowledge and basic math skills.
Students are advised to contact the American Health Information Management Association
(AHIMA) and/or the American Association of Professional Coders (AAPC) with regard to certification information after completion of this program.

Program Chairperson: Deborah Burns
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Medical transcriptionists listen to
voice recordings that physicians and other
health professionals provide and convert
them into written reports. They interpret
medical terminology and abbreviations in
preparing patients’ medical histories, discharge summaries, and other documents.
The documents they produce become part
of a patient’s permanent file. Medical
transcriptionists must be familiar with
medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, diagnostic procedures, pharmacology, and treatment assessments. Most
medical transcriptionists work for hospitals
or in physicians’ offices, or third-party
transcription service providers. Medical
transcriptionists may also work from home
offices, receiving dictation and submitting
drafts electronically. Employment of medical transcriptionists is expected to grow
6 percent from 2010 to 2020 (Bureau of
Labor Statistics).
We also offer a Personal Trainer National Certification class.
