The medical assistant career is very rewarding and versatile. Most medical assistants work in doctor's offices under the direct supervision of primary care or specialty care physicians. You must be good with people of all ages and from all walks of life.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the medical assistant field will be one of the fastest growing occupations in the USA.


Medical coders and billers work together to assure health care providers to get paid for their services. The main shared focus area of both careers is the medical office business' financial aspects. It can be said, that the healthcare provider's livelihood and success depend on the medical biller's and coder's skills, dependability, and accuracy. Many working in medical coding and billing eventually specialize in either medical coding, or medical billing only.

The medical coder primarily focuses on converting a medical procedure, diagnosis, or symptom into specific codes to submit a claim for reimbursement.

The medical biller assures that health insurance companies and patients are billed for procedures provided by the health care provider, whether this took place during scheduled or emergency medical office, or hospital visits.

I heard somewhere that medical coding and medical transciption is the next big thing, after call centers. (I'm from the Philippines and there are call centers EVERYWHERE right now.)
