Does anyone have any information on the average cost of online medical billing and coding courses?

If anyone has personal experience that would help too

1. I know that the Career Step medical coding and billing course is about $2,200 . Have you looked at their course yet? They have a really great online course. They have a demo of their course if you want to see what it is like. https://www.careerstep.com/coding/?uid=a1403 Through the end of the month, if you enroll and pay in full, then they will give you a free laptop. But courses can range anywhere from a few thousand dollars to about $7,000- with the higher end being a class that you attend rather than online.
2. Hey Beat, The cost of online medical billing training programs and schools differ greatly in price and that is mostly attributed to what the course consists of, the time it will take to complete, what they award you with once the course is complete (certificate/certification/degree) and lastly a services they provide you with after the course is complete (resume assistance, job searches, apprenticeship, etc.) I have seen courses range from $1K – as high as $4,200. I own a medical billing and transcription business and I tell those that ask me not to take an online course that is less than $600 and no more than $2,000 unless you are actually learning two or more of the professions (billing-coding, coding-transcription or billing-coding-transcription). There are several things that one must consider when researching/evaluating online medical billing courses and while I can't go into them here because of time limitations I will give you the link to a website that does a superb job of breaking it all down in easy to understand language (link is after my name below).
