Healthcare faciliƟes need trained specialists to accurately deter‐ mine the diagnosis and procedure coding assignment using ICD‐10‐CM/PCS and CPT coding systems. In many instances financial reimbursement is Ɵed to these numeric codes.  \nAll courses included in the program curriculum can be taken on‐line. General and science courses are offered in on‐campus, on‐line, and hybrid formats. Technical course (HIM) sequence starts every Fall Semester. Basic science and non‐technical courses may be taken prior to a student entering the program.  \nHow to Get Started on Your Coding Specialist Career  \nYou may enroll in the program if you are a graduate of an accredited high school or have evidence of highschool equivalency by GED scores. In addiƟon to meeƟng the requirements for admission to the college, students must meet the prerequisites for the Coding Specialist CerƟficate program.  \n􀁩 Complete the college applicaƟon process. (Includes compleƟng an applicaƟon form and having highschool/college transcripts sent to Admissions. Admission informaƟon can be found on our web‐ site: hƩps://www.cincinnaƟ[state.edu/academics/admission](state.edu/academics/admission . Once the)[ . Once the](state.edu/academics/admission . Once the) admission process has  \nbeen completed make sure you schedule an appointment with the Program Chair:  \nClarice Warner, Health and Public Safety Division 513‐569‐4278 or [clarice.warner@cincinnatistate.edu](clarice.warner@cincinnatistate.edu).  \nStarƟng Salaries  \nAccording to the Bureau of Labor StaƟsƟcs (BLS), employment of HIM professionals is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupaƟons through 2032. On top of strong job prospects, compeƟƟve salaries also await coding cerƟficate graduates. According to the BLS, the 2022 naƟonal average annual wage for medical coders was $51,090; the naƟonal average hourly rate was $24 .56/hr. Graduates who pursue hospital coding posiƟons in the Greater CincinnaƟ area can expect a starƟng hourly rate in the range of $18.00‐21 .00/hr. Note that salaries vary according to type of posiƟon and type of facility.  \nEsƟmated Costs  \n􀁸 TuiƟon:  \n","cbCaij88iLoiSR64","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij88iLoiSR64","pdf",360553,"English","# Program Curriculum\n## About the Program\n## How to Get Started on Your Coding Specialist Career\n## Starting Salaries\n## Estimated Costs\n## Program Advisors\n## Credentials\n## Program Prerequisites Requirements","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of the Coding Specialist Certificate Program?\",\"answer\":\"The program prepares individuals for employment as entry-level coding specialists in ambulatory health care settings, supporting accurate diagnosis and procedure coding using ICD-10-CM/PCS and CPT systems.\"},{\"question\":\"How are courses delivered within the program?\",\"answer\":\"All courses in the curriculum can be taken online, while general and science courses are also available in on-campus, online, and hybrid formats.
