Holy Big Central. The entire specialization course is riddled with bugs, but the Billing and Coding essentials is the absolute worst. Won't let you progress past the third module. Apparently this falls in line with MedCerts in general...
This class won't teach you everything about Medical Billing and Coding but it will give you the very basics that you will need to get you started. It is a good starter for a brand newbie wanting to understand the terms and aspects of how billing and coding work in the healthcare realm of things.
I took a medical billing course on Coursera to gain a foundational understanding of the field, and overall, it was a great learning experience. The course was well-structured, covering essential topics like medical terminology, insurance claims, coding systems (CPT, ICD, and HCPCS), and the revenue cycle. I appreciated the flexibility of being able to learn at my own pace, which made it easier to balance with other commitments. The instructors explained complex billing concepts in a clear and simple way, making it accessible for beginners. However, I found that the course lacked hands-on practice, as there weren’t many interactive exercises or real-world claim processing tasks. Additionally, while the knowledge gained was valuable, the course alone isn’t enough for career placement since industry certification, such as CPC or CBCS, is still required. Overall, I would recommend Coursera’s medical billing courses to anyone looking for an introduction to the field, but for those seeking job-ready training, additional certification and hands-on experience would be necessary.
it was fantastic
but needs another course for more understanding the material
Why let us audit it if 90% is locked for viewing? What a bait and switch scam.
Everything was good, what I don't understand is when the certificate prints out my name not on it! Why
I have no prior experience in Medical Billing and Coding. This was very helpful in getting the essentials. Although I have a long way to go before I get my CPC certification, I feel like after this course, I will be much more confident in beginning those courses. This course was simple yet full of the information I needed to "get my feet wet" in the billing & coding world. I completed it all in 1 week, self paced. So thankful for Coursera!
The Course is well structurated , contents and videos well organized and motivated , will apreciatte another Deep Course , But Certificate Should Have Institution Name Address , like more Level like ,, acording with the Course Thanks a lot
I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THIS COURSE. I HAVE A MASTERS DEGREE IN HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT BUT NEEDED TO REFRESH MY MEDICAL BILLING AND CODING SKILLS. THANK YOU COURSERA!
Excellent intro to Medical Coding and billing! Very detailed and easy to follow. Instructors were very knowledgeable, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I love the pace at which the learning flows and having the ability to listen to the audio as many times a necessary to get a clear understanding.
This was very easy to gain understanding for someone like me who is new to coding.
The lectures are so deep and the knowledge share is more. Great learning
Great refresher and prep for an upcoming interview!! Thanks, Coursera!!
The information was extremely comprehensive and I learned a lot!
Very Helpful in learning the medical billing and coding basics.
While the content of this course was great for an entry-level learner, the format of the "Key Terms" videos made it very difficult to look for specific information. I also noted several issues in the course assignments which provided incorrect feedback (ex. the correct answer was selected but marked as incorrect, with feedback stating that the chosen answer is correct). There were also some questions related to content that had not been included in the material covered to date.
feels like this only touched on the surface knowledge, and the tests almost always had at least one answer that was a) not in the source material, b) referenced material that came later, c) was completely incorrect. good information, but I don't feel like this course would really help getting the certification.
This short course is an excellent introduction to the medical billing and coding field. It provides clear explanations of coding systems, billing procedures, and healthcare documentation, making complex topics easy to understand. The course is well-structured, practical, and highly applicable for anyone looking to start a career in medical billing and coding.
The course is easy to understand and the teachers are highly appreciated the way they narrate and explain every lesson. Thank you so much teachers and coursera for this wonderful website and courses that you created.
