Student Success With MedCerts
When students work with MedCerts, they get access to expert-created programs in the allied health and information technology industries. MedCerts offers a virtual learning environment that blends immersive, interactive learning with well-designed and educational material. Students get high-quality coursework that’s functional and real-world compatible, without passive lectures or non-relevant theory.
Here’s a breakdown of core MedCerts programs, using the Medical Billing Specialist program as a guide. This program has three courses designed for student success:
- Professionalism in Allied Health: All MedCerts healthcare programs include this critical course, which looks at soft skills in the workplace and how students can remain professional on their own and while interacting with others. Students look at diversity and cultural biases, medical ethics, professional communication and patient interactions, drawing on soft skills that help them become the right candidate for the role.
- Introduction to Human Anatomy and Medical Terminology: Allied health programs also include this course, which is packed with crucial information about body systems, sensory organs and essential medical terminology. Having in-depth knowledge about anatomy and physiology—learned in an engaging, interactive manner—helps students transition to real-world careers.
- Insurance and Billing, and Coding Essentials: This course is found in MedCerts programs that deal with front office, billing and insurance claims. Students learn how to follow HIPAA and HITECH regulations, input the correct diagnosis and procedure codes, process claims and handle patient payments. These skills are essential to a robust healthcare industry and help ensure facilities have the funding and staff to provide patients with high-quality care.
