Medical coders take medical records and translate them into code sets that are submitted for billing to receive payments for hospitals and healthcare providers.

Almost all medical coding jobs require coders to be certified through AAPC or AHIMA. Medical coding is not a quick task to learn and can take months to master and thousands of dollars. It also requires annual membership fees, annual book expenses, and you have to be committed to continuing education.
