Medical Coding FAQs

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Medical records specialists organize and manage health information data.” 

In medical coding, the “coding” refers to transforming the written or verbal description of diseases, injuries, and procedures into numerical designations. This is one of the few healthcare occupations that require little contact with patients. 

Typical job titles include Medical Coding Specialist, Insurance Coder, Claims Specialist, and International Classification of Diseases Coder.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for medical records specialists (medical coders) was $50,250 in May 2024. The highest 10% earned more than $80,950.

The Medical Coding Specialist Program at MTI provides you with the skills and knowledge required for entry-level positions commonly available in medical offices, clinics, hospitals, and insurance companies as a part of the healthcare team. The working conditions are generally pleasant and comfortable.

As aging populations require more medical services, the expected growth for medical coding professionals remains strong. 

The U.S. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the job outlook for medical records specialists will increase by 7% from 2024 to 2034, much faster than the average for all occupations (3%).
