Medical coding and billing course is related to the insurance claims in the healthcare industry. The insurance linked healthcare industry is growing at a phenomenal rate and there are good opportunities in it. A graduate in life sciences can very well do the certification course in this prospective line and learn the subtleties of medical insurance and how it is admitted through the industry established coding and billing practices. Generally these courses whether online or offline are for a duration of around 3 months followed by the CPC (Certified Professional Coder) exam and after successful completion the CPC certification is issued by the training centre or the academy to which it is professionally linked. If one does not have or does not remember the basic knowledge of human anatomy and physiology then these institutes generally cover that module also to refresh the students. From that perspective even a non life science student can go for these certificate courses. There is absolutely no problem in that.
