Become a Health Claims Specialist/Health Claims
Specialist Plus (Medical Billing Training)

Do you want to pursue a career in the business side of health care? As a health claims specialist, you will work in medical billing and coding, and prepare, submit, and process medical insurance claims. In addition to processing routine claims, a health claims specialist might also investigate pending claims and resolve medical billing discrepancies. Becoming a health claims specialist is a great way to work in a fast-growing, medically related field, especially if you prefer not to work directly with patients on a clinical level.

The Harris School health claims specialist program also prepares students for national certifications, a significant advantage for Harris School graduates as they enter the workplace. 

At our Voorhees and Dover campuses, this program is offered as "Health Claims Specialist Plus."

Success Story

Chrissi Warnick Health Claims Specialist / Medical Billing Training

 

Chrissi Warnick
Program: Health Claims Specialist (Medical Billing)
Campus: Harris School/Cherry Hill, NJ

Chrissi Warnick joined the Marine Corps shortly after high school and was on active duty for 15 years before she had to leave due to medical reasons. Once out, she found herself among the unskilled workforce and knew that returning to school was a way for her to obtain a new career. “I had no degree and I needed to learn a new trade,” she said.

 
 

After doing some research, Chrissi enrolled in the Health Claims Specialist program at the Harris School of Business in Cherry Hill, NJ. “The school was conveniently located and the course work was program specific and focused only on health claims,” she explained.
