I am currently a physician's medical coder for a large hospital's medical group. I am making good money but I am curious as to how I can advance career-wise. I want a job that is unambiguous (i.e. not a lot of people know what medical coding is but we all know what a manager, director or lawyer does).

I am considering:
  • Getting a CCS and/or RHIT
  • Getting either MBA or MHA

Your input will be greatly appreciated.
 
If you are looking to get in to management I would look at either Healthcare Administration or Healthcare information Management.
