Is medical billing certification necessary to get a job?
No its not necessary. The benefits of certification in medical billing careers is it distinguishes you from others in the field and gives you an advantage when being considered for a job. It also shows your commitment to the profession. The American Medical Billing Association (AMBA) offers the Certified Medical Reimbursement Specialist certification through examination and education. The Healthcare Billing and Management Association offers the Certified Healthcare Billing & Management Executive (CHBME) and Certified Medical Billing Associate (CMBA). Certification is probably more common in medical coding than it is in medical billing careers.
