Philosophy
Northwest Health Careers’ Medical Billing and Coding program prepares
you for the exciting and challenging profession of insurance billing
and coding. Unique to Northwest Health Careers, the program incorporates
on-line learning, in class guided instruction and hands-on training
to provide the student with a comprehensive medical billing education.
At Northwest Health Careers we understand how hard it is to attend school
around a busy work or family schedule, and as a result this program
is designed to allow the student to complete their training at their
own pace.
 Upon completion of the coursework you will receive on
the job training at Northwest Health Careers in the form of an internship.
During this internship the students will be evaluating actual medical
EOB’s and insurance statements and will be required to perform
live billing. After this experience the students will go off site to
serve an externship in which you will encounter real patient files and
put the knowledge you have gained to the ultimate test. Our instructor
and internship coordinator prepare the students for the intricacies
of medical billing and as a result our students typically excel in the
externship arena. We encourage our students to treat this experience
as an extended job interview and we have seen an overwhelming percentage
of them gain employment at their externship site.
National Success
After you successfully complete your training at Northwest Health Careers you
will receive a diploma which qualifies you to sit for a certification exam.
Our medical billers are qualified to sit for the RMIS exam administered by
the American Medical Technologists. Having the opportunity to take these
examinations is an important aspect of achieving professional success as
a medical insurance specialist. Medical billers who are certified have increased
employment opportunities and are qualified to gain employment at prestigious
billing facilities including hospitals, medical or dental practices, hospital
or surgical centers.
