Medical Billing in a Day

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

The Instructor, Loretta Ford, has over 25 years of medical billing and
patient accounting experience. She has not only worked for physicians and
hospitals, but has started medical practices and billing companies on several
occasions for many organizations.

Mrs. Ford received her Bachelors Degree in Communications from
Lindenwood University in addition to a Masters in Human Resource Management.
She completed a Mini MBA certificate program from University of Missouri St.
Louis. She has hundreds of CEU hours relating to Medical Billing & coding
guidelines and compliance. Additionally, she has taught Medical Billing and
Coding at Sanford Brown and Allied College in St. Louis Missouri.

Mrs. Ford’s experience in training Medical Billers, and Coders expand
over 15 years. Some of Mrs. Ford’s trainees have gone on to become Team
Leaders, Supervisors and Managers. Others have decided to become Certified
Coders. Using basic methods that incorporate a solid understanding of what
medical billing is all about has helped develop this one day course designed
to equip someone with absolutely no prior medical experience, with knowledge
and skills that can lead them into the field of medical insurance and claims
processing.

When asked why she developed a one-day affordable course she replied,
“Experience has taught me through teaching Medical Billing and Coding on a
College level that after countless hours and after the thousands are spent in
tuition many receive a Degree that may not recognized by the accrediting
Board”. “With this course, my goal is to help participants learn a skill
without spending thousands of dollars”. Many graduates are faced with not
getting the job due to lack of hands on experience. Everyone will not attend
college. Some may attend college but find it is not for them. Others may
want some additional skills that can enable them to work in the medical
billing field while attending college. Mrs. Ford went on to say that her
goal is to give the participants hands-on training on completing claim forms
required by Medicare and insurance companies.
