Medical Coding, Medical BillingMedical coding and medical billing professionals translate medical procedures performed by physicians into a set of standard codes that facilitate the insurance claim and payment process. They perform an integral role in today's health care infrastructure. Medical practitioners, health insurance companies, and patients rely on medical billing and coding experts to connect the dots that will ensure a straight line of health information data communication among all parties. Completion of a quality training program, usually only 9 - 12 months long, will give individuals a good start in medical records coding and health information technology. However, for career advancement and better salary potential, the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) and the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) highly recommend pursuing degree programs. Medical coders can expect a strong job market. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Medical Records and Health Information employment will continue to grow at a rate of 18% through 2016, a rate that is much faster than the average for all occupations. The Bureau also stated that technicians with a strong background in medical coding will especially be in demand. In addition, the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will provide $19 billion in financial incentives to help physicians purchase and implement health information technology systems,. This will further increase the demand for qualified medical coding and health information professionals. >> Read More * Medical coding programs with an asterick are AHIMA approved.
