The standards for accuracy in health insurance claims processing are becoming more exacting at the same time that health insurance plan options are expanding rapidly. These changes, coupled with modifications in regulations affecting the health insurance industry, are a constant challenge to medical office personnel. Those responsible for processing health insurance claims require instruction in all aspects of medical insurance, including plan options, carrier requirements, various regulations, extracting relevant information from source documents, accurate claim form completion, and diagnosis and procedure coding. The Medical Billing Certificate Program at Laurus College gives students the skills to market themselves to future employers in this fast paced industry.
