New Medical Billing Career in Just 3 Months
For over 50 years, Hunter Business School has been a cornerstone of career-focused education on Long Island. We’ve built a half-century tradition of helping students in Levittown and Medford transition into fulfilling, stable careers. Today, we are proud to announce that this same high-standard tradition is now available to anyone, anywhere, through our fully online Medical Billing Specialist program.
From Enrollment to Entry-Level Ready in 12 Weeks
Our program is designed for efficiency and focus. We skip the fluff and dive straight into the skills that make you a valuable asset to medical offices, regardless of where you are located. In just three months, you can gain a working knowledge of the foundational pillars of the industry:
- Electronic Health Records (E.H.R.) Developing a working knowledge of the digital systems used by modern medical facilities to track patient data
- Claim Processing Understanding the journey of a medical claim, from the initial patient visit to final reimbursement to providers.
- Medical Terminology Learning the essential language used by health care professionals to ensure billing accuracy and compliance.
Navigating Insurance and Health Care Compliance
A major part of being a successful billing specialist is understanding the various types of insurance coverage. During your 12 weeks at Hunter, you will learn how to navigate the complexities of Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance carriers.
Accuracy is the cornerstone of this field. By developing a strong eye for detail and a working knowledge of HIPAA regulations (patient privacy), you ensure that patients are billed correctly and that their sensitive information remains secure. This specialized training is exactly what helps our graduates stand out when applying for roles in clinics, diagnostic centers, and private practices.
A 50-Year Tradition, Now 100% Online
Whether you are down the street from our Levittown campus or across the country, you get the benefit of a structured classroom environment with the convenience of a digital campus. We’ve taken our decades of hands-on experience and adapted it into a fully online format. You aren’t just watching prerecorded videos; you are participating in live-instructor training and receiving the same career support that has defined Hunter Business School since we first opened our doors.
