The Practice Management Institute (PMI) trains and certifies administrative professionals working in medical offices: medical office managers and staff working in coding, billing, auditing, and compliance. New and experienced professionals learn current guidelines and best practices to perform more effectively in their role. Providers and consultants involved in the business side of outpatient services also attend to understand the practical application of medical office administration guidelines.
The PMI curriculum includes five opportunities for medical office professionals to earn certification in their areas of expertise: Certified Medical Coder (CMC)®, Certified Medical Insurance Specialist (CMIS)®, Certified Medical Office Manager (CMOM)®, Certified Medical Compliance Officer (CMCO)®, and Certified Medical Chart Auditor E/M (CMCA-E/M).
