Student Testimonial: "Just thought you would like to know that I finished the review class on Thursday night, and took the CCA exam on Friday morning, and I PASSED!! I just want to say "Thank you!" to everyone at Molloy, it was a great experience and I plan to be back for another coding review when I'm ready to take the CCS exam. A year ago, I had only hoped that I would be able to do this, and now I did it!! I really feel like I can go out there and be a CODER!
Thanks again,
Wendy M. (student)

We currently offer two certificate programs so that you can become proficient in this field. Whether in a physicians' office, hospital or other healthcare facility, patients are followed by an astounding trail of information. From diagnoses to final billing, health care providers need to have access to that information. After completing Molloy University's medical records certificate program, you will be prepared to meet the challenges of this growing profession.

Certificates and Certificate Requirements
A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of each individual course. A larger program certificate, suitable for framing, is awarded at the completion of the program. Once you complete the certificate requirements you can request a certificate of completion by emailing our records coordinator, Danielle Albanese at: dalbanese1@molloy.edu to request it.The program certificate requires successful completion of the 10 courses listed.

The following four core courses are required for the program and it is suggested that you start your studies with Medical Terminology and/or Anatomy and Physiology:
MR-1500 - Medical Terminology
MR-1510 - Anatomy and Physiology
MR-2510 - ICD-10 CM and ICD-10 PCS Coding 
MR-3500 - CPT-HCPCS Coding

Please note that a number of the courses do have prerequisites and that those prerequisites will be listed in the course descriptions.

The number of sessions that a course meets, as well as the tuition for the courses, varies from course to course. However, most classes meet for 5-8 sessions and the average tuition rate is $325.

You may proceed through the program at your own pace, taking as few or as many courses as you would like, as long as you have the necessary prerequisites. However, most students are typically taking about 2 courses at a time. At that rate students would be able to complete the requirements for the certificate in 9-12 months. There is no time limit to complete the certificate requirements.
