Medical Coding, CTS
Medical coding is the bridge between patient care and the healthcare system. It involves translating a physician’s diagnoses, procedures and medical notes into universal alphanumeric codes used for billing and analysis. Medical coders ensure patient records are accurate and providers are fairly reimbursed for their services. It is an ideal career for detail-oriented individuals who want to work in the medical field from a technical and administrative perspective.

Thanks to the help and support of my instructors, I was able to graduate a semester early. I already have a job with Logan Health. It’s been amazing to see hard work turn into a career so quickly.
