I am trying to find out what the credentials are to be accepted as a Medical Biller/Coder for employment in the Healthcare Industry without a college degree. There are two Job Training Schools offering different credentials. One is offering a Certified Billing & Coding Specialist (CBCS) and a Certified Medical Administrative Asst (CMAA). The other school is offering the credential of Certified Professional Coder (CPC). Which is the better of the two. I have a work experience background of 10 years as an insurance vertification clerk and would like to advance. Thank you.

I did medical billing for 11 years with no degree. I ended up going to college and got a medical billing certificate. Then I advanced and got an associates degree in RHIT (Registered Health Information Technology) This covers medical billing, coding, legal, supervision, computers etc. Check it out!

Also, If you have experience in billing some Medical Equipment Companies may give you on the job training for billing their specific equipment.
