There are a variety of traditional paths to advancement for the experienced medical biller. You may want to develop a plan to use your Medical Billing Clerk skills to advance over time to a position with greater income potential. The Medical Billing position is a great stepping-stone for those with a career plan of action. Let’s talk about a few of those possibilities.

The Medical Billing Clerk in a medical office might advance to an upper-level Medical Administrative Assistant position or even Medical Office Manager. This comes over time, after consistently demonstrating expertise in the area of medical billing and reimbursement. The candidate for advancement will also demonstrate the ability to be a productive part of the medical office team, working well with physicians, patients, coworkers, insurance company representatives, and vendors.

A Medical Billing Clerk or Claims Processor for an insurance company requires extensive knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy & physiology, and disease processes. An accomplished Medical Billing Clerk may build relationships that eventually result in job offers from insurance company personnel. Professional organization memberships provide additional continuing education and networking opportunities. A supervisor with an important position to fill just might take note of your skills, work ethics, and attitude. It might appear to be luck, but it isn’t. It’s just a very smart way to put yourself in the right place with the right skills at the right time. As a claim processor, you’ll learn to look at the insurance process from the viewpoint of the insurance company’s obligations and requirements. A Claims Processor will examine the claim in very careful detail to determine if it is in compliance with the plan provisions. There may be questions to be answered. Additional information may be required before payment is made. Incorrectly processed claims and/or claims under appeal offer still another job opportunity for a Medical Billing Clerk with a long-term career outlook.

These advanced-level positions all have something in common. They require excellent “people” skills. Most people lack the kind of attitude, patience, and motivation required for advancement. If you’ll consider the people around you, most are not able to work with people well enough to advance to the next level. If you are the exception, you can do it. Enroll. Do the best you can with your studies. Become an expert in what you do. Enhance your skills steadily and consistently until your work is noticed for its excellence. Make it work for you!
