What Is a Medical Billing & Coding Specialist?
Medical billing and coding specialists translate medical procedures and diagnoses into standardized codes for billing and insurance purposes. They commonly work in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices, and many have the flexibility to work from home. (Note: This program is not to be confused with a computer coding course.)

In California, medical billing and coding specialists earn an average annual salary of $43,540, making it a strong entry point into the fast-growing healthcare industry.

Why California Chooses CALRegional
Fastest Certification in California
Beware of phlebotomy training sites promoting fast-paced programs, as fast doesn't always mean you'll start working quickly. Through CALRegional-administered programs, students can become certified and eligible for licensure in just 3 weeks.
Immediate Externship Placement
While many phlebotomy programs may take up to 90 days to arrange externship placements, students enrolled in CALRegional-administered programs are placed immediately. Don't let delays slow your progress—these programs fast-track your career path.
91% Certification Passing Rate
Unlike others, CALRegional is transparent about outcomes. Students in CALRegional-administered phlebotomy programs complete the course and pass the national certification exam—achieving a 91% passing rate that exceeds the industry average.
