In order to keep up with the pace of today’s insurance requirements, medical staff may need to increase their efficiency, knowledge, and skills of current medical billing and coding procedures. At Manor College, we can train your staff to become medical billers and prepare them for the medical coder’s certification exam. We begin with a solid foundation in Medical Terminology and Survey of Anatomy and Physiology necessary for the participant to understand the language of the medical profession. In fact, all employees in the allied health field will benefit from the terminology class.
