Medical billing and coding specialists are crucial to the continued well-being of any health care organization, from hospitals to clinics to private practices. They ensure medical billing forms are complete and insurance claims are made using the right codes—CPT-4, ICD-10 and HCPCS— helping in the timely remittance of invoices for necessary tests and procedures.
With a medical coding and billing certificate from the College of Health Care Professions, you can pursue a key role in an in-demand health profession such as…
- Administrative Assistant
- Insurance Benefits Assistant
- Medical Records Clerk
If you’re interested in an in-demand administrative position in health care, the field of medical records and health information technicians is on the rise. It is estimated to add about 15,000 openings for medical records specialists each year, on average, over the decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics*. That’s a growth rate of 8% through 2032 – a faster than average pace. Overall, employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow 12.6% from 2021 to 2031*, much faster than the average for all occupations.
