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 Indiana 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 Indiana 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 Indiana programs

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 We do not quote exam fees.
  5. 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 Indiana 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?”
