Key takeaway: 4 institutions in Mesa, Arizona reported completions in a medical billing, coding, or health information program in the latest federal IPEDS data. Because billing and coding programs are widely available online, the schools below are a starting point rather than the full set of options for Mesa residents.

If you work days or might move, weigh fully online programs that map to a national exam alongside these campuses. A local school can still require a practicum you have to attend in person, and the first job is often on site even after an online program.

The cards below come straight from Department of Education data, ordered by our independent BOC Score where the school publishes enough outcomes to score. Partner listings appear in the program finder and carry Esy’s own sponsored label.

Choosing between Mesa schools

Compare programs on the credential you leave with (certificate, diploma, or associate degree), which certification exam the curriculum typically prepares you for, whether a practicum is required and where, and the total published cost. Ask who places the practicum. Our program guide walks through each of these, and the Arizona page has the state’s full wage percentile table.
