Course Lessons Each year, in the United States, healthcare insurers process over 5 billion claims for payment. Healthcare in America is an explosive industry accounting for the top 3 producers in gross national product (and income), and, outside of a few industrial sectors, outpaces all other industries in terms of its projected growth. Grouped within the healthcare sector known as Health Information Management (HIM), health information technicians (the group to which coders belong) are projected to be one of the 20 fastest growing occupations in the US. Within the coming decade, four million jobs within the healthcare industry will open up with many of these positions existing outside of the traditional care-giving arena, e.g., consulting, claims-review, and auditing firms. On account of the fact medical billing (specifically the coding component) is significantly specialized, they will remain in very high demand. Needless to say, there is a great need for medical billers and medical coders. In this course we're going to learn all about medical billing from the ground-up. This course assumes you have little or no knowledge about medical billing. Written in "laymen's terms", this course is an ideal preparation course for any persons interested in this booming area in the health and medical administration industry.
