How to become a medical coder and biller?

I was wondering is it easier to go to school to become a medical assistant, or medical biller and coder?

  • Answer:

    Hi Carolina I don't think "easier" is the right word. It has to be something that is interesting enough for you to devote the time and focus to develop the skills necessary for employment. Every medical [including dental, chiropractic and optometrist] office has to have somebody do the billing and coding. This takes patience, diligence and a meticulous attention to detail. If you are very nurturing and a "people person", medical assisting may be better for you. You will have contacts with bodies, blood, fluids, odors and the like and it is not for everybody.
