It was said at one time that there are three industries that won't ever go away; real estate, education, and medical.
Well, we all know how the real estate market is these days - I don't envy real estate brokers and agents at this time. Those folks work at 100% commission and it is extremely difficult to move houses in this market!
Education and medical are still standing strong! So, becoming a medical biller or coder right now is the best business decision that you could make. And, NOW is the best time BEFORE this industry becomes heavily regulated, which seems inevitable to those of us already in the industry.
Government regulates MOST industries now-a-days that they didn't at one time. For example, at one time, a person could just start an appraisal business, remember? NOW if someone wants to open such a business, they need to take tests and work a certain number of hours shadowing another appraiser for free, etc.
Same with the accident and life insurance industry.
So, it is more than likely to happen to medical billing also. Right now ANYONE can open a medical billing business. It is not governmentally regulated and NO CERTIFICATION IS REQUIRED. There are a lot of courses out there that claim that you need a certification and this is not the case. Do a little research and you will find the same. But, the point is that there is NO better time than now to open your own medical billing firm!
