Revenue Cycle Management

The Revenue Cycle Certificate program is a fully online certificate program. Students will receive knowledge in functional areas including: registration (front desk), billing, credit and collections, and revenue cycle management. The revenue cycle can also apply to other areas such as dentistry or behavioral health.

Why choose a Revenue Cycle Certificate?

The healthcare industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Demand in this industry is expected to rise due to increased regulation, the shift to more data-centric systems and the impact of a rapidly aging population on the health care system.

This certificate program is perfect for the following professionals:

• Those looking to make a career change to the healthcare industry–this certificate program is a great step.
• Medical coding and billing professionals with a Medical Coding and Billing Certificate who want to take their career to the next level.
• Healthcare management and heath information system professionals who would like to increase their knowledge of the revenue cycle and expand their career opportunities.
