In Basic Medical Coding Training (BMCT), you will learn the foundational skills required to start a career in medical coding. The course covers essential topics such as medical terminology, human anatomy, and physiology to help you understand clinical documentation. You'll be trained in ICD-10-CM coding for diagnoses, CPT coding for procedures and services, and HCPCS Level II for medical supplies and equipment. The program also introduces you to Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), teaching you how accurate coding impacts billing and reimbursements. In addition, you'll learn official coding guidelines, compliance standards like HIPAA, and ethical coding practices to avoid errors and claim denials.

BMCT teaches you how to read medical documentation and convert it into accurate codes using ICD‑10‑CM, CPT, and HCPCS systems. You’ll learn medical vocabulary, basic anatomy and disease processes, plus coding guidelines, compliance rules, and the role coding plays in billing and revenue. Throughout the training, you’ll do hands‑on exercises, mock tests, and practice with claim forms so you’re ready for entry‑level medical coding jobs and certification exams.
