Healthcare Coding and Billing Institute

Healthcare Coding & Billing Institute (HCBI) was founded in 2011, born out of an increased demand for certified medical coders and billing professionals in the Philippine business process outsourcing industry. The need for increased digitization of health records for billing and healthcare quality auditing mandated by recent US legislation prompted healthcare organizations to look to offshore entities that can provide accurate, fast and cost-efficient ways to process medical records. Meanwhile, there is a huge supply of highly educated healthcare professionals that are most suited for these jobs here in the Philippines, but no local institution for them to obtain training and certification. HCBI was thus founded to address this need.
HCBI is a subsidiary of Pinoy Data Capture Inc. (PDC), a leading software, data conversion, encoding, medical data entry and claims processing services agency. PDC has a 15-year track record of providing fast, efficient and accurate services to US and local clients.

HCBI has been authorized by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) to administer their certification examinations. AAPC is a leading organization of professional coders in the US that credentials medical coders for physician practices, hospitals, and other categories of billing and coding professions. AAPC has accredited only two sites outside the US to administer their exams, and HCBI is one of them.
