Learn medical billing and collections firsthand from Kris Patterson, an instructor with over 30 years of experience in the medical billing industry—with an introduction to CPT®, ICD, HCPCS coding, and medical terminology. 

Become familiar with medical office operations, policy, procedures, and processing of individual office forms. Learn how to bill Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, CHAMPVA, Concierge Medicine, Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury, PPO, HMO, EPO, IPA, and other payers. Develop an understanding of the components of the revenue cycle from the patient intake process to the completion and submission of the medical claim. You’ll get an introduction to managed care plan concepts and learn how to analyze and solve complex billing problems, including rejected and denied claim management. 
Review and gain an understanding of various practice management reports and use critical thinking exercises to learn how to automate the billing process using cloud-based software. We’ll set up a mock medical practice and post charges, payments, and adjustments from patients and insurance companies. You’ll also learn about important HIPAA mandates and rules for maintaining the privacy and security of medical claims information. 

Upon completing this program, you will receive a certificate of completion from Cabrillo Extension and be added to the instructor’s database for potential job leads. 

A materials fee of $275 for all textbooks and workbooks is NOT included in the registration fee. Material fees are payable directly to the instructor and are nonrefundable.
