Kaplan Continuing Education Announces New Online Medical Billing Certification Program

(July 29, 2008)-- Kaplan Continuing Education announced the launch of its new online Medical Billing Certification program, an online course for medical coding and billing training designed to help individuals pursuing employment in the ever-growing healthcare field.

"According to the Department of Labor, many employers prefer to hire billing employees who have completed some college courses or a degree," said Lisa Rosenzweig, the Executive Director at Kaplan Continuing Education. "The Department also predicts that the need for billing clerks will grow four percent through 2016 and most of this growth will be in the medical field. Kaplan Continuing Education provides students with the training they need to compete for positions in the booming healthcare industry."

This healthcare professional certificate provides students with the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to become competent medical billers. The entry-level training includes instruction in medical terminology, health insurance rules, medical coding, HIPAA compliance and patient billing. The KCE Medical Billing Certificate consists of eight courses that can be completed within 12 months.

Enrollment for the KCE Medical Billing Certificate is currently underway. For more information about this online continuing medical education [online continuing medical education program, visit http://www.kaplancontinuingeducation.com/hcp/.
