Certified Medical Adm. Assistant With Keyboarding Skills

This 184 hour program prepares individuals for a career as a certified medical administrative assistant. Administrative medical assistants are skilled multi-taskers who direct the flow of patients through an office. Effective patient flow allows the practice to operate efficiently, increase revenue, and provide a positive experience for the patient. Their duties can include scheduling appointments, entering demographic and insurance information into practice software, managing patient check-in and check-out, answering phone calls, filing and retrieving paper records, maintaining electronic records, composing correspondence, performing daily financial practices, assigning medical codes and processing insurance claims. Upon completion of this course students are prepared to take the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) national certification exam offered by the National Healthcare Association (NHA). The program also includes a self-paced Keyboarding Skills course designed to teach participants how to touch-type the alphabetic, numeric, and symbol keys; create, save and edit word processing documents; and successfully take a timed test during a job interview. Students also participate in individual weekly 1-on-1 coaching sessions and weekly group recap sessions led by an industry-experienced success coach.
