I hope the medical field will continue to grow, and that the need for biller & coders will become increasing bigger all over the country.

I had been thinking about the impact before I read this article. My thoughts are that thousands more Americans will then have some form of healthcare. Just the preventative side should keep coders very busy. Those people who do not seek healthcare now due to not having insurance will also increase our business. I think this will be the best time for this profession in growth.

If all goes well with the health care reform, the outlook for increased need of billers and coders will be substantial. Having to insure so many more people in the United States, plus additions to women health care and, of course, care for the elderly, this seems to improve the job security.

There are always good points and not so good points when changes are made. Especially in the political sense. But, hopefully this new upcoming chane will be of the greatest service to those who are now not covered with healthcare
plans. As for the effect on billers and coders? It seems as though there will always be a demand for certified professional billers and coders, as healthcare for humankind will always be needed. I am looking forward to joining fellow colleagues in medical billing and coding.

I feel that with the babyboomers getting older and people in general living longer if the healthcare bill passes it will cause a need for more billers and coders to keep up with the number of people receiving healthcare. I also feel the billing and coding job oppurtunities will also grow as the population ages. HIPAA laws have contributed to the need for more educated professional to handle the billing and coding of healthcare industries.

As a future biller/coder, I can only hope that this will be an improvement. With the rising cost of healthcare and the absolute need for the best insurance coverage possible, we can only hope for the best. These days its so hard to find a job, let a lone one that has good benefits, and I feel that is what we need. Americans, as a whole, are hard working people just trying to do the best for our families as we can and we should be rewarded for all of our hard work by companies we are making rich by giving its employees better benefits.

With millions of Americans qualifying for more health care services, I can only foresee an increase in the demand for coders and billers. I am hoping that our career will only expand…

Hopefully the Health-care Reform will be what it’s suppose to be and all of us can have some kind of health insurance that is affordable so even the poorest people can go to the doctor. Because if it isn’t then the people who need it most still won’t be able to see a doctor. If there isn’t a huge influx of patient’s there will not be a huge need for billers and coders.

I pray that in the future we as bill/coders will have the correct information on the Healthcare Reform on Medical Billing.I pray that all American people will be able to have some type of medical insurance for themselves and their family members.

There will be more Americans getting healthcare insurance. Which means there will a bigger demand for billers and coders to process the forms.
