5 Things We Love About Medical Coding

In honor of Valentine’s Day being around the corner, we thought it would be a good opportunity to share some love.

Specifically, we’d like to share why we love medical coding.

(It’s difficult to limit these to just five, but we’ll do our best.)!

1. The Flexibility

For starters, medical coding is one of the most flexible industries when it comes to work environment and education. The latter didn’t use to be the case, but thanks to resources like Medical Coding Academy Online, anyone can learn the industry from the comfort of their own home. Plus, few industries are more ideal for remote work.

2. The Community

Second, the community of medical coding and billing is unmatched when it comes to support. Just one look at posts on a forum like Medical Coding Academy’s Facebook group and you’ll see the coders and billers are there for each other when it comes to advice, questions and studying or supporting one another on the job.

3. The Knowledge

The knowledge you gain with medical coding is also impressive, especially if you go with a reputable resource like Medical Coding Academy. Our students have a 98% pass rate on certification exams and we empower our students with the knowledge they need to do the job successfully. That’s empowering and one of the reasons we love medical coding.

4. The Teachers

Related to knowledge, teachers are another area where medical coding shines. Especially at MCA, where we’re lucky enough to have Mrs. Delissa Ortega and some of the best medical coding instructors in the industry. These rock stars make the material fun, engaging and, most importantly, memorable.

5. The Work

Last, but not least, we love the work itself! It’s fulfilling doing something that helps others and pretty much every position in the healthcare industry benefits patients in some way (including medical coders and billers). Also, if you have an analytical mind or love solving puzzles or memorizing things, medical coding can be a lot of fun.
