Anthem Institute's Medical Billing & Coding program prepares students to maintain patient financial accounts and arrange for the collection of payment. The program provides training in medical billing procedures, including completing claim forms and billing insurance companies.

In order to be reimbursed for services, medical facilities must document everything done to a patient using correct medical terminology. Students learn how to assign proper codes to medical tests, treatments, procedures and other clinical activities. The program concludes with an externship in a medical office or hospital, where the student will practice the skills they learned in the classroom.
