Medical Coding & Billing professionals use special coding systems to process insurance claims and label diagnoses. They work in many different healthcare facilities and are an important part of medical administrative teams. On average medical coders make over $66,000 a year with more experienced professionals earning higher salaries.
A medical coder pulls the billable details from a patient’s medical record and documentation. Medical billing applies the applicable codes to enable payment for those services.
Ensuring that healthcare organizations have proper medical billing and coding is necessary to receive payment in full from government agencies such as Medicare and insurance providers. One tiny error can take months to fix, and that slows down an already complex payment process.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics estimates the job outlook for these professionals is strong. They report an additional 16,500 jobs for billers and coders by the year 2032. Medical coding and billing are the backbone of the healthcare revenue cycle, so they work in almost every healthcare environment, from private practices to major hospitals and healthcare networks.
