Ramp: Starts from healthcare fundamentals. No prior clinical experience required.
This program is the right fit for members drawn to healthcare administration — people who want to work in a clinical setting without a clinical role. Over three to five months you will learn medical coding (ICD-10 and CPT), electronic health records (EHR), HIPAA compliance, and revenue cycle management. These are the skills hospitals, clinics, and billing offices hire for directly. Members who complete this program move into roles as Medical Coders, Health Information Technicians, and Billing Specialists earning $52K–$72K. If you are newer to healthcare concepts, this program starts from fundamentals — no prior medical background is needed. If you are deciding between Health IT and a tech track, the pathfinder quiz or our program comparison tool can help clarify which direction fits your goals.
