Course Description
A rewarding career in the healthcare industry doesn’t only mean hands-on patient care. Medical Office Specialists are found in nearly every healthcare environment. Pursue your medical career by training to work in physicians’ offices, hospitals, clinics, long-term care centers, dental offices, public health agencies and so much more. Job duties are varied and are vital to the smooth operation of medical facilities. Greeting patients, scheduling appointments, completing and submitting insurance forms, communicating to patients about labs, reviewing and working through appeals from insurance denials, authorizations and pre-authorizations are all the responsibilities of a Medical Office Specialist.
Have you ever needed a prescription refill phoned into a pharmacy? Chances are it was a Medical Office Specialist who assisted you! This growing field needs people like you, who are organized, possess strong people skills, and are goal-oriented. Learn the skills needed to perform medical office administrative tasks, complete medical coding and billing with accuracy and attention to detail while maintaining patient confidentiality. If you can see yourself assisting patients and physicians on a day-to-day basis and all the while maintaining a high level of integrity, this could be the program for you.
