If you want practical, job-ready skills in medical billing, medical coding, revenue cycle management (RCM), A/R calling, payment posting, prior authorization, Medicare, HIPAA, health data, EHR, and US healthcare—this laboratory-focused course is for you.

This course is designed to help learners of all backgrounds understand and apply laboratory medical billing and revenue cycle management in real-world healthcare settings. Whether you’re working in medical coding, billing, administration, or healthcare IT, this course builds a strong foundation in the lab billing workflow—from orders and requisitions to coding, claim submission, payment posting, and denial prevention.

You’ll learn how CPT/HCPCS and ICD-10-CM interact to support medical necessity, how payer rules (especially Medicare) shape coverage, and how to operationalize HIPAA-compliant processes across EHR and clearinghouse environments. The curriculum follows your course sections step-by-step: lab orders, coding, forms, payer-specific scenarios, audits, fraud prevention, technology, and “getting hired” pathways for laboratory billers.

Designed to be beginner-friendly, the course includes clear explanations, downloadable templates, checklists, and realistic examples from EHRs, ERAs/EOBs, and lab billing documentation to reinforce learning. No prior experience is required.
