About

Medical billers and coders work in hospitals, clinics, doctors offices and insurance companies preparing bills and reimbursements for medical care. They use industry-established numerical codes to indicate what treatments were received, what the diagnosis was and what level of care was given. The Medical Coder programme is offered at the University of Cincinnati.

Overview
