Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) - Physician Coding

Estados Unidos

O que eu aprenderei?

This program is accredited by the Accreditation Council of Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

All students who have not taken the ACT or SAT within the last 3 years or have had no previous college English or math courses are required to take a placement test prior to enrolling in English or math course.

Doctors and insurance companies share a language they call coding which assigns standardized letter and number sequences to every diagnosis and procedure known to the medical community. With the widespread use of electronic health records and recent changes in government regulations, the volume of codes has been dramatically expanded. So physicians have more need than ever for certified coding professionals who can accurately record the services performed in their practices.

If you want to work in this growing field, you should know that having the right credentials is nothing less than critical. At Butler, you can pursue either a one-year certificate or a two-year Associate Degree. Both are accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs.

After you have completed your education, you will then take the national certification test for coding. If you pass that test, you will be eligible to work for two years as an apprentice. When you’ve completed your apprenticeship, you can then apply for Certified Professional Coder (CPC) certification under the guidelines established by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPCs).

This can be done through one of the following:

  • Completion of the Advanced II level or higher at Wichita State University’s Intensive English Language Center. Students must have grades of C or better in all classes.
  • Academic credit of 12 hours or more from a U.S college or university or one year from a U.S. high school with a minimum 2.0 grade point average.
  • The IELTS International English Language Testing System test is also acceptable as an alternative to TOEFL. An overall score of 5.0 is required for admission.
  • A minimum Pearson Test of English (PTE) score of 50.

Os requisitos para o IELTS podem variar de acordo com o curso que você escolher.
