Business
At one time, keyboarding and basic accounting skills were qualifications for an employee managing medical record keeping and billing operations for a clinic or hospital. Today, however, health insurance companies, regulators, courts and consumers scrutinize charges for medical tests and procedures. Federal laws regulate the electronic storage of medical information and patient privacy rights. Employers look for medical coding certifications and related qualifications.
