10 Jobs That Didn't Exist 10 Years Ago
by Kiplinger staff
Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Medical Biller/Coder
Salary range: $34,000 - $41,000
Education required: High-school degree
The new field of medical billing and coding has sprung up to get insurance companies (and government plans, such as Medicare and Medicaid) the information they need and to make sure that medical procedures are classified and recorded the proper way. Medical billers and coders work at doctors' offices, hospitals and other health-care facilities and typically have certification or formal education (six-month and one-year programs abound) that allow them to navigate the tricky terrain of medical terminology.
