About Our Medical Coding Training in Dubai

EEdoxi’s Medical Coding Course in Dubai is an 80-hour, four-module programme that takes you from medical terminology basics to CPC exam readiness. It covers the three global code systems: ICD-10-CM for diagnoses, CPT for procedures and services, and HCPCS Level II for supplies and equipment. A dedicated module covers how AI is changing medical coding. You practise on real coding scenarios and mock tests, and you are prepared to sit the AAPC Certified Professional Coder (CPC) exam.

 Training is led by Dr. Shivani Khasnis, a CPC- and CPMA-certified trainer with over 15 years in pharmacovigilance, clinical research and medical coding. Classes run at Edoxi’s Bur Dubai centre, live online, or as a 10-day corporate programme. You work case by case on real clinical documentation, building up to timed CPC mock tests across ICD, CPT and HCPCS.

The course prepares you for Medical Coder, Medical Billing Specialist, Coding Auditor and Health Information Technician roles. On completion, you receive a KHDA-attested Edoxi Course Completion Certificate. The CPC credential itself is earned by passing the AAPC exam, which is booked separately with Edoxi’s registration support.

FAQ

What are the prerequisites to join Edoxi's Medical Coding Course in Dubai?
You need to have completed high school (12th grade or equivalent). Experience in the medical field is helpful but not required.
Does Edoxi’s Medical Coding course cover new coding systems and healthcare trends?
Yes. The course covers current ICD, CPT and HCPCS updates, and includes a dedicated module on AI in medical coding.
Will I learn about inpatient and outpatient coding differences?
The course focuses on outpatient professional coding for the CPC exam and explains how it differs from inpatient coding. For dedicated inpatient work, see Edoxi's IP-DRG course.
Are coding audits and compliance part of the Medical Coding course?
 Yes. You learn how to perform coding audits and apply HIPAA and DHA compliance.
Is the CPC exam fee included?
No. The CPC exam is booked and paid separately with the AAPC (USD 430 first attempt) [verify]. Edoxi supports you with registration.
What is the average monthly salary of a medical coder in Dubai?
Indicatively, entry-level roles pay around AED 3,500 to 5,000 a month, mid-level AED 5,000 to 7,500, and senior AED 7,500 to 11,500, varying by employer and experience.
 
Experience level Roles Indicative monthly salary (AED)
Entry-level Junior Medical Coder, Medical Coding Assistant, Health Information Technician AED 3,500 to 5,000
Mid-level Medical Coder, Health Information Specialist, Clinical Coding Specialist AED 5,000 to 7,500
Senior-level Senior Medical Coder, Coding Supervisor, Health Information Manager AED 7,500 to 11,500
 
What is medical coding?
Medical coding is the process of converting healthcare diagnoses, procedures, services and equipment into universal alphanumeric codes. Coders read clinical documentation and assign codes from standardised systems, mainly ICD-10-CM for diagnoses, CPT for procedures, and HCPCS Level II for supplies and services. These codes are the basis for billing, insurance claims and healthcare data, so accurate coding is essential to reimbursement, compliance and patient-record quality.
Why medical coding matters in the UAE
Medical coding is a regulated, in-demand function in the UAE. Health insurance has been mandatory in Dubai since 2014, and every claim submitted through the Dubai Health Authority's eClaimLink portal must carry standardised codes: ICD-10-CM for diagnoses, CPT for procedures, HCPCS Level II for supplies, and IR-DRG for inpatient episodes.
 
These are mandated across DHA, Abu Dhabi Department of Health and MoHAP-licensed facilities. Because accurate coding is what gets providers paid, certified coders are a standing requirement across UAE hospitals, clinics and insurers, and UAE job listings frequently name an AAPC or AHIMA certification and a DHA licence.
Where is Edoxi's Medical Coding training centre in Dubai?

Classes run at Edoxi's Bur Dubai centre, 100 metres from Burjuman Metro Station Exit 3; online training is available across the UAE and the wider region.
