2 CONSIDERING A CAREER IN HEALTH CARE? It s certainly a great field to be in! Not only are you contributing to the well-being of society, you are also rewarded with tremendous job stability and opportunity for advancement. In fact, the rate of employment in health care continues to grow at a much faster pace than any other industry. Since people continue to live longer, the demand for qualified health care workers shows no sign of slowing! WHICH HEALTH CARE CAREER IS RIGHT FOR YOU? As you search for a career path that will best suit your strengths and interests, first consider whether you wish to perform direct patient care or a more administrative role. Do you hate the sight of blood? Do needles make you nervous? If so, you might want to consider an administrative health care career such as medical office administration or medical billing & insurance coding. These fields require health care knowledge as well as strong organizational skills, and professionals in these fields should enjoy paperwork and be comfortable working at a desk and using a computer. If you are looking to advance in the business and management area of the health care sector, health care management and health information management professionals are in very high demand. On the other hand, do you enjoy taking care of your friends and family when they are sick? Have you ever dreamt of becoming a nurse or doctor? If you answered yes, a career as a clinical medical assistant will have you taking patient vital signs, suturing wounds, and explaining medications to patients. While medical assisting is a very rewarding career, those interested in nursing often start as medical assistants to gain experience while studying to become nurses. Perhaps it s not that clear-cut and you d like a career that falls more in the middle. If you don t want to give shots but you want to interact with people seeking help, working in the front office might be the best match for you. Medical office professionals and clerical medical assistants greet patients, schedule appointments, and help make sure the office runs smoothly. WHATEVER YOUR ANSWER MAY BE, THERE S DEFINITELY A PLACE IN THE HEALTH CARE FIELD FOR YOU! This booklet will help introduce you to the careers mentioned above and give you an idea of the classes and skills each requires. Our Admissions Advisors are available and ready to answer your questions about these fields and the Herzing University Online health care programs and classes; feel free to call us toll-free at
3 HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT Employment of Medical and Health Services Managers is expected to grow at the faster-than-average rate of 16% through 2018 as the health care industry continues to expand and diversify.

Medical assistants enjoy a very stable position in one of the fastest growing occupations in the health care industry. They typically have a varied work day and interact with many different people. Those who perform clinical duties enjoy providing direct patient care and are also comfortable working with blood and dressing patients wounds. Some medical assistants use the position to gain experience in the health care field with the intention of continuing their studies for a career in nursing or health care management. Those interested in a career as a medical assistant should enjoy working with people, have a positive and helpful attitude, and be interested in learning about the human body.

This administrator must possess a thorough understanding of the health care industry as well as executive-level business skills in order to make proper management decisions while adhering to medical ethics, medical law and compliance with federal regulations. Health care managers are also facing the large-scale transition to a more technologically-based industry and must stay current on the technological trends of the health care field.

They must keep up with current computer and software technology, as well as legislative laws and guidelines. Health Information Managers are experts in medical coding and billing, disease processes, anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology. In addition, as patient data becomes more frequently used for quality management and medical research, professionals in this field must ensure that databases are complete, accurate and available only to authorized personnel. HIM professionals typically manage one or more departments that work with patient records, such as medical billing and insurance coding departments, and they report directly to the organization president or CEO. Individuals pursuing this career should have strong health care knowledge as well as communication skills, management training and an understanding of the different components that make a business successful.

Now I do not worry about providing for my children because, with the training I received at Herzing, I will always be able to find a good job. - Yolanda VanDruff, ASMBIC Grad, Class of 07 OVERVIEW Medical Billing and Insurance Coding specialists play a vital role in every aspect of the health care industry. As health care providers transition from paper files to electronic patient files and billing systems, trained Medical Billing and Insurance Coding professionals are needed to efficiently handle this data. They ensure insurance companies and patients are billed correctly and that health care providers receive proper reimbursement for services rendered. While some employers combine the roles of medical billing and insurance coding into one position, larger facilities tend to employ specialists in each area. Positions for medical billing and insurance coding specialists exist in all areas of the health care industry, including doctors offices, clinics, insurance companies, hospitals, outpatient care providers and assisted living centers. COURSE OUTLINE ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE* A minimum of 65 semester credit hours is required for graduation: 39 hours of required courses, 21 hours of general education courses, 3 hours of electives, and 2 hours of personal development courses.

Please check with your local campus for any updates. WHAT IS... MEDICAL BILLING? Medical Billing specialists are responsible for making sure the health care provider gets paid correctly. They enter data regarding the services performed into a medical billing software program, prepare statements for mailing, run electronic tracking reports to document account status, and work with patients and insurance companies to ensure timely payment. Skills required for this profession include familiarity with medical terminology, anatomy, reading coding languages, and strong communication and people skills. INSURANCE CODING? Every medical diagnosis or procedure must be assigned a code to ensure proper payment to the medical provider. The Insurance Coder conducts research to identify which code should be used and to determine if multiple procedures can be bundled together into a single code. The coding specialist must also recognize any inconsistent documentation of procedures in the patient chart and must have extensive knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, and disease treatment. Other skills required for a successful career in insurance coding include the thorough understanding of coding languages, organization, self direction, exceptional attention to detail, problem solving, and critical thinking for proper data analyzation. Examples of position titles: Medical Coder Health Information Specialist Abstractor Medical Clerk Insurance Claims Analyst Data Quality Manager GET CERTIFIED! Becoming a certified coder, coupled with a formal education, speaks volumes about the skills of a coder. Reliable, qualified Medical Billing and Insurance Coding professionals who earn a recognized certification are in demand. When hiring new employees, employers compare the knowledge and skill of applicants by evaluating their education, experience, and industry credentials. The certification exams offered through the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) aren t easy, but the Herzing University curriculum & internship help students prepare for success.
7 MEDICAL OFFICE ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW As the demand for patient care continues to grow, health care providers need welltrained administrative professionals to run the medical office, ensuring the business aspect of the health care facility is functioning smoothly and efficiently. While these medical office administration professionals must possess the same clerical skills required of any office specialist (computer/technology, communication, reception, organization), they also require a thorough understanding of the complexities unique to the health care industry. This includes medical ethics, medical law, medical billing and reimbursement, and compliance with federal regulations. In addition, they are often the first person to greet patients and, therefore, must be friendly and helpful. In this role, the medical office administration professional helps build the credibility of the provider and fosters loyalty and trust from the patient. Employment in Medical and Health Care Administration careers will continue to grow at a rate that is much faster than the average for all occupations Occupational Outlook Handbook, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics IS IT FOR YOU?

And, as the single largest profession in the health care industry (over 2.5 million RNs), the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree helps to differentiate which RNs are capable of handling promotion. RN Salary Once an RN earns a BSN, a whole new set of opportunities are available. Promotion to higher positions result in higher nurse salaries.
