Billing and coding specialists are essential for dental operations, and positions are in high demand. If you possess excellent customer service skills, are detail oriented and have strong communication skills, a career in billing and coding may be the one for you.

The program is online, and all hours will be completed via Blackboard, where assignments and learning materials will be available for students to complete from their computer at their own pace. There are no scheduled meeting times for classes.

Each course should be registered for separately. Dental Terminology must be passed prior to Dental Billing and Coding.

Upon completing these classes, students will be able to take the CDC – Certified Dental Coder and the CDBS – Certified Dental Billing Specialist exams.
