Solution to the Skilled Manpower Shortage in Medical Billing and Coding

What is the solution to the Medical Billers and Coders shortage?

Facing the Challenge of Retaining

As per a recent article from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), more and more U.S. workers are quitting their jobs than at any time in at least two decades. In April 2022, the share of U.S. workers leaving jobs was 2.7 percent, according to the Labor Department, a jump from 1.6 percent a year earlier to the highest level since at least 2000. The shift by workers into new jobs and careers is prompting employers to raise wages and offer promotions to keep hold of talent. This trend is applicable to the medical billing industry also. The pressure to find skilled employees is even more acute in industries that are growing like Medical Billing, which is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2 percent from 2021 to 2028, according to Grandview Research.

Medical practices are delaying an opportunity to expand their business due to a lack of skilled billers and coders. Derek, the mental health provider from Texas, recently had to delay an opportunity to expand his business due to staffing constraints. “I can’t just hire anyone off the street,” he said, “I need skilled billers. It’s not just about processing a claim. I need to teach the front desk properly because that is what makes or breaks my practice. I can’t add more providers unless I do a great job. My reputation is more important than growing my business. I just can’t find the manpower right now.”

Medical billing guidelines are constantly getting updated, and procedure codes are added, deleted, or modified. These updates are quite frequent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
