In December, Jessica Fleming earned her undergraduate certificate in Jefferson’s medical billing and coding program. She says the hands-on training, experienced faculty and preparation for industry certifications increased her employability and boosted her confidence to work efficiently in one of health care’s fastest-growing fields.
“I appreciated Jefferson’s supportive learning environment and flexible options, which made it easier to balance my education and personal responsibilities while working toward a career in health care,” says Fleming, who works in the utilization management department for an area health network. “I developed strong skills in accurately assigning medical codes, understanding insurance claims and following healthcare regulations, such as HIPAA. The program also strengthened my attention to detail and organizational and time-management skills, which are essential in this field.”
