Medical Office Administration

Instructional Program (CIP)

Description

A. Course Objective:

Medical Office Administration is an excellent career path for prospective students seeking an exciting career in healthcare that focuses on patient interaction outside of the clinical arena. Medical Office Administrators are critical to the operation of hospitals, clinics and healthcare related facilities. The program is designed to give the student knowledge of office procedures, without performing them, and the opportunity to learn and certify in medical billing and coding. Medical Office Administration professionals are on the front line in medical offices and are very patient focused without the clinical skills of medical assistants. Medical insurance billing and coding are necessary in the office administrator’s skill set, but unlike the back-office focus of a dedicated medical billing and coding specialist, medical office administrators will also focus on office operations and customer service based patient care.

Graduates of the Medical Office Administration (MOA) program may be eligible to take various professional certification exams, including the Electronic Health Records Specialist exam, Certified Medical Administrative Assistant exam, and Medical Billing and Coding Specialist exam.  Such credentials are not required to graduate but can be of value depending on students’ particular career goals. Faculty are available to advise students seeking such professional certifications.
