Medical Billing and Coding Schools in Florida (2026)
Advertising disclosure: listings marked "Sponsored Listings" are paid placements. See how we make money.
Key takeaway: Florida has 59 institutions that reported completions in a medical billing, coding, or health information program to the U.S. Department of Education, and medical records specialists in the state earned a median of $45,760 per year in May 2025 according to BLS. No state license is required for billing or coding work; employers hire on completed training plus an industry certification.
If you need to study after bedtime or you might move, look at fully online certificates that map to a national exam (CPC, CCA, or CBCS) as well as the Florida campuses below. The first job is often on site, starting pay sits near the lower percentiles, and the tuition on each card is the institution’s IPEDS sticker price, not the program price.
Medical billing and coding programs in Florida run from short certificates (often under a year) to two-year associate degrees in health information technology. The school list below comes from federal IPEDS data and is ordered by our independent BOC Score where enough data exists, so a school’s position is never affected by whether it advertises with us. Partner listings appear in the program finder and carry Esy’s own sponsored label.
How to compare Florida programs
- Accreditation. Confirm the school holds institutional accreditation you can verify in the Department of Education database. For health information technology associate degrees, CAHIIM program accreditation is what makes graduates eligible for AHIMA’s RHIT exam.
- Certification prep. Ask which exam the program typically prepares you for. Most entry-level hiring keys on the CPC, CCA, or CBCS. Our certification guide explains the differences. This site is not affiliated with AAPC, AHIMA, or NHA.
- Format. Fully online, hybrid, or on campus. Some programs require a supervised practicum; find out whether it can be completed where you live and who finds the site.
- Total cost, not per-credit price. Compare the published price of the whole program including books and exam fees. The tuition figures on the cards below are institution-wide sticker prices from IPEDS, not program prices. We do not quote exam fees.
- What the school reports. Every card links to the school’s IPEDS record so you can check enrollment, graduation rate, and program completions yourself.
A script for an admissions call: “I live in Florida and I am comparing programs that map to the CPC or CCA. What is the total published cost including manuals, is the practicum remote, and how many graduates sat for the exam last year?”

Frequently asked questions
How much do medical billers and coders make in Florida?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics groups most billing and coding jobs under medical records specialists (SOC 29-2072). In Florida, that occupation had a median annual wage of $45,760 in May 2025, with the 10th to 90th percentile range running from $36,330 to $76,850. These figures describe current workers at all experience levels, not new graduates.
How many medical records specialists work in Florida?
BLS counted 21,490 medical records specialists employed in Florida in May 2025, or 2.164 jobs per 1,000 workers in the state.
Do I need a state license to work in medical billing or coding in Florida?
No state, including Florida, licenses medical billers or coders. Employers instead look for a completed program and an industry certification such as the CPC (AAPC), CCA or CCS (AHIMA), or CBCS (NHA). See our certification comparison.
Can I take a medical billing and coding program online from Florida?
Yes. 44 of the 59 Florida schools listed here report offering online programs at the institution level, and many out-of-state schools enroll Florida residents online. Check whether a program is fully online or requires an in-person practicum before you enroll.
Will I work from home after a Florida billing and coding program?
Usually not right away. Remote billing and coding jobs exist, but most employers want certification plus production experience first. Use the Florida wage table on this page for local pay context; BLS does not publish a remote-only wage.
How should I compare Florida medical billing and coding schools?
Ask which exam the curriculum maps to, verify institutional accreditation in the Department of Education database, get the total published program cost including manuals, and find out who places the practicum. Editorial lists on this page are ordered by our independent BOC Score, not by advertising.
