With the growth of private insurance sector in India, sooner or later the healthcare industry of our country might also be based on the insurance and we might also need to do medical coding and billing in different areas of healthcare. The physician offices, the hospitals and the insurance companies may demand more and more Medical Coders and Medical Billers in future also.
