Health Care Management with Coding Academy

The new A.S. Health Care Management that includes a Medical Billing and Coding Academy, has been designed to meet the innovative and ever-changing healthcare providers’ needs. Today’s healthcare providers have expanded to include hospitals, clinics, urgent care centers, rehabilitative, physicians’ practices, palliative care centers, and assisted living facilities, just to name a few. Medical Billing and Coding is one of the fastest-growing fields in the health care industry. As the retirement population continues to increase, healthcare professionals who can process crucial data are growing daily. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the medical billing and coding field is expected to grow over 21% in the next few years, and there will be a 40% increase in job openings in the next seven years. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics also predicts that the need for Health Care Managers or Administrators will grow 20% from 2016 through 2026.
