Medical Coding & Billing Combo
Medical Coding & Billing Career Cross-Training
Meditec’s CBC Combo Course provides Medical Coding, Billing, Terminology and Health Insurance Claims Specialist Training.
Medical Coding & Billing Professionals are in high demand. Coding drives the billing process (and gathers all the statistics) and more codes are now needed to comply, with greater accuracy than ever before. Moreover, the ability to be successful in the billing process, depends not only on accurate coding, but also on the accurate billing and health insurance claims processing skills of a well-trained professional. The technical skills and knowledge required to meet these demands creates great job opportunities and income. And more and more often, coding, billing, and health insurance claims processing can be done at home. Experienced coders and billing experts often become practice consultants.
Earnings: According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical support professionals, including Medical Coders, are one of the 10 fastest-growing allied health occupations. The median wage for coders is $35,000 to $50,000 per year. Certified coders make more than those who are not certified. furthermore, according to a national compensation survey performed in July 2005 by Salary.com, the median wage for non-certified Medical Billers is about $30,000 per year, while those who achieve certification could make up to 20% more than non-certified people. And, according to the Department of Labor, Medical Billers with additional years of on-the-job experience can make over $40,000 yearly!
