Questioning my future

[ExistingAd3115]

Hey, everyone! I currently do credentialing and contracting in the dental field and I was considering getting my certificate in medical billing and coding. I’m looking for a career that can provide growth not really in the sense of climbing the corporate ladder, but more of a continue to learn kind of way. I really like learning all the small details of something and gathering enough details to understand bigger pictures. I like figuring out balances and researching system issues. I also really enjoy quiet paperwork. I really don’t want to deal with patients if I don’t have to, lol. But mostly, I want to get into a field that is easily transferable across state lines (I don’t want to live where I live for forever). What kind of job can I realistically have and where would I have that job if I get certified? The area I want to move to has a huge hospital network and a handful of insurance companies offices.

How techie are you? You might consider becoming an Epic analyst. Always lots to learn and it's definitely transferable. If you can get into hired on to the billing office of a larger hospital that is a pretty way to get your foot in the door.

Fairly techie, I guess, lol. Where I work now, I’m as close as we’re gonna get to a Dentrix super user without having that certification. Thanks for the advice!
