What Is a Medical Billing & Coding Specialist?

Medical billing and coding specialists translate medical procedures and diagnoses into standardized codes for billing and insurance purposes. They commonly work in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices, and many have the flexibility to work from home. (Note: This program is not to be confused with a computer coding course.)

Medical billers and coders are in high demand. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment for medical records specialists, such as billers and coders, is projected to grow 9% from 2023 to 2033, faster than the average for all occupations.

In California, medical billing and coding specialists earn an average annual salary of $43,540, making it a strong entry point into the fast-growing healthcare industry.
