Health/Medical Careers that don’t require dealing with patients much but pays good?
I want to be in the health/medical field working in an hospital. I live in Flint, MI. I will be attending Baker College. I don’t think I’m strong enough to deal with patients, so what are jobs that are in the background or office setting of dealing with patients that pays good and only requires a certificate or Associates Degree? I was looking at one of the hospitals in my area and there were positions for Patient Services Representative, Unit Clerk, and Administrative Assistant what are the duties of these jobs and what are the pay for them or other jobs in a hospital setting without dealing with patients much except for on paper? Also I was looking at surgical technician. Would that be a good career? Some programs offered at the college are Health Information Technology, Medical Administrative Assistant, and Medical Insurance Specialist, is that billing and coding? What is the salary for that? What are the duties of those careers? Thanks. I’d appreciate any feedback.
I’ve been in Health Information Technology for 6 years. It’s pretty easy, considering other jobs out there, and rather enjoyable.
The salary will range as to how much experience you have and what you’re willing to do. If you’re going to just do clerical in a med rec dept, you should expect to make $13-14 to start. If you go to school, get your degree, which qualifies you to take the RHIT exam (if it’s accredited program by the AHIMA) and you also do coding, expect to make $15 or so to start. Some hospitals will give you raises based on productivity.
I work at a psych hospital, had NO experience in the medical field, and started out making $13 an hour 6 years ago.
Usually unit clerks or unit secretaries make less money, around $10 an hour. Admin Assistants can make more, again if you have clerical experience and it depends on what position you’re assisting for. The higher up, the more experience they’ll require and the more responsibility you’ll have. Any one of these jobs, I’d suggest becoming a notary public, as it may help in getting hired. Hospitals love to have notaries on site.
Something else you can look into is Risk Management, Patient Advocate and HIPAA compliance officer. These are more specialized clerical areas that don’t always require you to be a nurse (some hospitals prefer nurses to do these jobs).
Good luck in whatever you choose. I gave you some links in the source area that could give you more information.
