Description
Program Synopsis Healthcare Administration Professional
Course Objective: Description: Healthcare Administration is the backbone of any medical facility – providing the necessary support to ensure patients’ questions are answered, billing, coding, and insurance claims are properly processed and offices are properly organized.
Our online Healthcare Administration certification program provides the tools for a full scope of administrative careers with five courses over 25 weeks. Intro to Human Anatomy and Medical Terminology will build your core understanding of the language used in healthcare environments.
The three main Healthcare Administration courses are Medical Office Procedures and Administration, Electronic Health Records and Insurance, and Billing & Coding Essentials. The combination of these three programs will ensure you have all-encompassing Healthcare Administration knowledge and have the flexibility to work in any medical office.
To ensure a comprehensive education experience, our Microsoft Office Basics program is included in your Healthcare Administration training. You’ll master the three core Microsoft Office programs used in any professional environment: Word, Excel, and Outlook.
These six courses will prepare you for the following certification exams: Medical Coder & Biller Certification (MCBC), certified through the American Medical Certification Association (AMCA), Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) and Certified Electronic Health Record Specialist (CEHRS) – each certified through the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) and accepted nationwide as the standard for the healthcare industry.
