(I-Canada-News.Com, July 26, 2012 ) La Prairie, Canada -- Medical Billing and Coding Online has compiled an impressive amount of information pertaining to the field of medical billing and coding. The website scours the internet on a consistent basis for the benefit of those seeking to start a career in the field.
The job of a medical biller and coder consists of preparing bills and supporting documents, for the purpose of facilitating the authorization of health insurance payments to the healthcare provider. A recent federal legislation which requires patient records be transmitted electronically, has caused a spike in the demand for the profession as health care providers must ensure that record accuracy and privacy is maintained and well handled.
In its latest Occupational Outlook Handbook, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the demand for medical billers and coders will see a 21 percent rate of growth between 2010 and 2020, with an average salary of over $32,000 a year. Experience in the field fetches higher salaries, as does the education level. For instance, a bachelor’s degree in health information opens the door for management positions which translates into better pay.
According to Medical Billing and Coding Online, one of the perks of the profession lies in the fact that it is possible for billers and coders to work from the comfort of their own homes. There are many employers who offer telecommuting positions as they, themselves, benefit financially from hiring telecommuters.
Training for the profession, according to the website, is provided on-campus and online. Online training can begin immediately after enrollment, while on-campus students have to wait until the semester starts. Another advantage of online courses is that they are designed to be completed at the student’s pace. Completion of training can take anywhere from 2 to 18 months.
The website emphasizes the importance of choosing the right school for the training, and lists some of the top institutions in the country:
• The National American University
• The American Academy of Professional Coders
• The American Intercontinental University
All 3 schools offer e-classes.
