What do I need to know to get started?

Once you finish your medical billing course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and understanding of medical terminology and abbreviations, various insurance plans (commercial, state, federal insurance plans, etc.) communication techniques, the accounts receivable cycle (such as registering patients, accounting transactions postings, collections, insurance claim forms' completion, etc.), as well as medical billing itself.

There are some minimum requirements for medical billing and coding training:

- keyboard proficiency
- a basic understanding of Microsoft Word
- a solid command of the English language

Surprising to some people, you do need to have any health/medical care work experience. You will learn everything you need to know in your training course.
