The TN Professional Training Institute’s Medical Billing and Coding program is an intensive 80-hour course designed for accelerated learning. While we highly encourage full attendance, students are permitted one (1) absence, provided they inform their instructor(s) at least one (1) day in advance of the missed class. Late arrivals or early departures may be counted as an absence.

Students who miss a class are required to schedule a make-up session, at a time that works for both the student and the instructor, to review and practice the missed material. If a student exceeds one absence, they may be dismissed from the course and moved to the next session at the discretion of the instructor.

The instructor will keep a daily log of students’ grades and will communicate with students their updated grades on a daily basis.
