You've heard about the shortage of healthcare professionals. Now, with advances in medical technology and an aging population, the demand for properly trained healthcare professionals is higher than ever. At Herzing University Online, students are prepared for this exciting career field through high-quality instruction and actual hands-on experience.
Medical assistants perform routine administrative and clinical tasks to keep the offices and clinics of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, and optometrists running smoothly. Clinical duties may include taking medical histories and recording vital signs, giving injections, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for examination, and assisting the physician during patient examinations.
These professionals are responsible for providing excellent customer service and helping the office run efficiently. To do this, they must possess computer, communication, and organization skills as well as a thorough understanding of medical billing and reimbursement, and medical ethics, law, and federal regulations.
Healthcare facilities require a manager to oversee the business-side of the facility. This administrator must possess a thorough understanding of the healthcare industry as well as executive-level business skills in order to make proper management decisions.
Well-trained medical billing and insurance coding professionals make sure insurance companies and patients are billed correctly for the healthcare they received from a provider. Insurance coders also learn a universal code system that they then use to label each healthcare procedure, greatly simplifying this billing process.
Health information managers are experts in medical coding, billing, patient record handling, and security of those records. They typically oversee the medical billing and insurance coding departments as well as the paper and electronic filing and maintenance of patient records.
