Program Description
Work in healthcare (but not direct patient care) by training to become a
Medical Biller. Medical Billers play an important part in the medical billing
and reimbursement cycle. This course prepares candidates to sit for the
AAPC Certified Professional Biller (CPB) exam by covering topics such as
preauthorization, charge entry, claims transmission, submitting appeals,
payment posting, and insurance and patient follow-up. Course fees cover
the cost of the AAPC learning platform, two attempts for the CPB exam, and
a one-year membership to AAPC.
