The diploma does not meet the credit or course requirements of a degree program, and it usually shorter in duration. However, by taking the degree, you would be more marketable and the credits earned could be applied to a degree program at a later date should you wish to continue your education. However, I personally have never heard of a degree in medical coding and billing. This is typically a course requirement within the Medical Assistant associate degree.Either of those ways or even an online training program for any of those fields can be a great way to prepare for the certification exam needed though - even if you can work with out the certification, I suggest that you take it as those with it earns more.
