Description of Program

The Medical Coding Specialist Program trains the student to analyze and classify medical data in accordance with a complex system of conventions, guidelines and rules utilizing a knowledge base that includes anatomy, physiology, medical terminology, pharmacology, pathophysiology and more.

There has been a great deal of emphasis on experienced, qualified medical coders due to the implementation of regulations by the federal government and private industry to reduce healthcare costs. The Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) and Certified Coding Specialist Physician Based (CCS-P) can improve the financial stability of healthcare organizations.

After completion of this program and some experience, the student can sit for one of the national Certified Coding Specialist examinations and use the designation C.C.S. or CCS-P after their name if successful. This signifies the most highly qualified individuals in the field.

What is a Certified Coding Specialist (CCS)?

A Certified Coding Specialist is an individual who analyzes medical records and assigns numerical codes for diagnoses and procedures. This process supports clinical care, assists medical research in all types of health care facilities and provides information for reimbursement purposes. This requires a unique blend of skills. CCS's have a wide range of medical knowledge (much like an R.N.) including a mastery of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology and disease processes. They also have extensive knowledge of all coding rules, guidelines, conventions and federal regulations.

The medical coding profession has experienced an explosive need for certified coders. The Office of Inspector General is "cracking down" on fraud and abuse in health care facilities nationwide. Certified coders are the only qualified individuals with the technical and clinical knowledge to protect their facilities from heavy fines.
