Medical Coding Jobs Overview
Every healthcare facility needs a skilled medical coding specialist to organize patient data. Without medical coders, health insurance companies would have a difficult time communicating with medical providers, and there would be no cost standardization across practices. Medical coding jobs typically don't require a four-year college degree, but they do require specialized training.
Medical coders translate important medical information to properly document it for medical records or billing. As a medical coder, your day-to-day duties will include reviewing patient data, updating databases and registries, and recording data for storage, retrieval, and reporting. You may also work as a liaison between billing offices and healthcare providers. If you're looking for job security, you may be in luck. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical records positions like medical coding are expected to grow by 8% over the next 10 years.
