Focuses on accuracy, compliance, and documentation
Ideal for analytical and detail-oriented individuals
Medical Billing
Handles claims submission, payments, and denials
Focuses on insurance coordination and revenue flow
Ideal for communication and process-oriented individuals
Career Growth

Choose coding if you love accuracy. Choose billing if you enjoy processes and follow-ups.
