Medical Assisting students are required to take the Test of Basic Education (TABE) prior to being admitted. A 9th grade equivalency is required in reading, spelling, math computation, and math application. If a student scores below the cutoff, he/she will be referred to the Adult Basic Literacy Education (ABLE) Program for individual tutoring. The student attending the ABLE program will be admitted on a conditional basis and have one semester to reach the cutoff score. If the student does not reach the cutoff score at the end of the semester, he/she will be dismissed from the program. Credits transferred from a non-accredited Medical Assisting Program must be approved by the Adult Education Director. The transfer credit must be equivalent competencies and may not exceed 50% of the MCCC Medical Assisting coursework program. The externship must be completed in the MCCC program. The Medina County Career Center does not remunerate students for work done on medical assisting externship assignments. There will be no payment of any type made to the student for the externship experience.

Medical Office, Billing and Coding Specialist

Become the “doctor’s key to getting paid.” If you enjoy the healthcare field, medical coding, medical terminology, anatomy and like helping people, but prefer to work independently, this is the field for you. Every healthcare provider that delivers a service receives money for these services by filing a claim with the patient’s health insurance provider. You will learn all the ins-and-outs of filing these claims and also learn how to attach the correct number/code to each service, test, treatment, and diagnosis. You will be prepared to take the Billing and Coding Specialist exam offered by the National Health career Association (NHA).
