Future Employment Outlook For Medical Coders
According the Bureau of Labor Statistics the health care industry is expected to generate three million new jobs between 2006-2016.
Employment of medical records and health information technicians is expected to increase by 18 percent through 2016—faster than average, for all occupations—because of rapid growth in the number of medical tests, treatments, and procedures that will be increasingly scrutinized by health insurance companies, regulators, courts, and consumers. Also, technicians will be needed to enter patient information into computer databases to comply with Federal legislation mandating the use of electronic medical records. Could be worth looking in to.
