The coding certificate offered by the UAS Health Information Management program is primarily focused on inpatient coding with training in outpatient coding and billing. The focus of the UAA and UAF certificates are on outpatient coding and billing. In addition, the AHIMA offers a coding certificate that is web-based. These programs are accredited and in depth. Be careful of programs that promise preparation for an exam in a matter of months. Also make sure the credential is nationally (or internationally recognized).
