Associate's in Medical Assisting

Medical assistants perform many administrative duties. They answer telephones, greet patients, update and file patient medical records, complete insurance and referral forms, handle correspondence, schedule appointments, arrange for hospital admissions and laboratory services, handle medical prescriptions, coordinate meetings with medical representatives, and handle billing and bookkeeping. Clinical duties include: taking medical histories and recording vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for examination and assisting the physician during the examination.

The duties of medical assistants vary from office to office depending on location, size and specialty. In small practices, medical assistants are usually generalists, handling both administrative and clinical duties. They usually report directly to an office manager, physician or other health practitioner. Those in large practices tend to specialize in a particular area under the supervision of department administrators or practice managers.

Associate's in Medical Billing and Coding

This program focuses on training students on the skills required for medical billing and coding through hands-on exercises, lectures, demonstrations, and group and individual projects. Students become familiar with the daily operations of the medical office environment, medical terminology, current billing procedures, implementing procedures and diagnostic codes, basic bookkeeping and the legal aspects surrounding the medical office. Students will also be accurate typists (35 wpm minimum), use their basic knowledge of computer and medical software as well as interpret insurance rules and regulations. They will access information via the internet, understand billing methods and the billing cycle to generate insurance claims accurately as well as have a clear understanding of administrative operations, the importance of obtaining and locating proper patient information, and how information must be documented.

We will focus on the financial components necessary to submit a clean claim and be reimbursed within a reasonable amount of time. We will have our students up-to-date on the various insurance types and coverage as well as insurance terminology. Students will study the billing process in both manual and electronic form.

These skills will enable the graduate, upon completion of required coursework, to further develop his or her career as a medical biller and coder through a 160-hour externship in a clinic, laboratory, physician's office, hospital or other setting that employs medical billing and coding personnel.

Associate's in Paramedic

Paramedics primarily work in the pre-hospital setting and are the "eyes, ears and hands" of the emergency room physician. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and paramedics differ in the fact that EMTs provide basic life support (bandaging wounds, splinting, etc.) and paramedics provide advanced life support (IVs, administering medication, etc.).

The objective of the Paramedic Program is to train students to acquire satisfactory skills and demonstrate competency in a variety of pre-hospital Advanced Life Saving (ALS) procedures and techniques, in preparation for the Paramedic examination administered by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT).
