MOA 223 E Medical Coding Practicum Externship
The externship will provide students with coding practices in a hospital, physician’s office, clinic or other health care setting with directed projects common to a clinical coding specialist on the job. Students will practice with clinical code assignments and billing methodologies, including projects and cases that replicate typical coding tasks in a physician’s office, hospital outpatient clinic, ambulatory surgery, and hospital acute care settings that employ coding professionals. This practicum will focus on building speed and accuracy using actual medical records. If the student does not obtain an externship, completion of a capstone project is required.
