What Makes Our Training So Effective?
Our medical coding program balances knowledge of medical science,
technical skills and coding experience with assessment and evaluation
by professional coding specialists who care about your success. Our
practical approach takes students through a careful step-by-step
study of what medical coders need to know to get the job done
right.
After having studied the medical coding industry for
years, specifically looking for ways to make our program the best in
the nation, we have put together a team of coding specialists who are
active and practicing in the field of coding. The Andrews School now
offers a program that uses the best and eliminates time-wasting
“fluff” or filler classes that add little or nothing to
on-the-job success. Graduates can get out there and use the
skills they’ve learned, knowing that they will also need to
continue learning throughout their career.
This is a very practical
course for those who want quality results. Our program is appropriate
for those with or without previous medical background or education.
Our step-by-step program
uses hundreds of exercises based on actual medical reports with
challenging drills to build speed and accuracy. Students are exposed
to situations and assignments they may encounter on the job, with a
very careful assessment and evaluation of what the student has done.
Students will not only know if they have coded correctly, but will
also know why. This will pay off later on the job in quicker
reimbursements and reduction of claim denials. Our graduates will be
better prepared to help protect medical facilities against improper
coding which could result in costly fines. These skills are likely to
be ever more valuable in the future as the health care system grows
even more complicated. While we will never claim to be perfect, our
staff works diligently to provide the best for our students and
graduates.
