Coding versus billing

Medical coding turns documented diagnoses, procedures and services into standardized codes (ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS Level II). Medical billing uses those codes to prepare claims, follow them with payers and handle patient balances. Some programs teach only one, many teach both, and the names are not always precise — check the curriculum on each program page.

Certificates versus certification

A certificate comes from the school that taught the course. A professional certification such as CPC, CCA, CCS or CBCS comes from an outside credentialing body after you pass its exam. Finishing a course does not award a credential, and a course “aligned to” an exam is not the same as an eligibility guarantee.

How the two differ →
