Medical Billing & Coding

The Medical Billing & Coding Program at Broward-Miami Health Institute is a 1,110-hour, 100% online program completed in 9 to 12 months. It prepares students for entry-level positions as medical billing specialists, medical coding specialists, and health information professionals — without requiring clinical hours or in-person attendance.

The curriculum covers medical law and ethics, anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, electronic health billing, medical office accounting, health insurance principles, Microsoft Office, and four dedicated electronic coding modules covering all major body systems using ICD-10 and CPT coding standards.

The program is 100% self-paced and available to students across the United States and internationally — making it BMHI's only program accessible to students who cannot attend in person at our Miramar, FL campus. Rolling admissions mean you can start any time.

Medical billing and coding professionals work behind the scenes in every healthcare setting — translating clinical documentation into standardized codes used for insurance claims, reimbursements, and health information management. The role is primarily administrative, making it well-suited to remote and work-from-home arrangements.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of medical records and health information specialists is projected to grow 8% from 2022 to 2032 — faster than the national average — driven by an aging population, expanded use of electronic health records, and growing complexity in healthcare billing systems.
