Healthcare Documentation Specialist Training FAQ
What is a healthcare documentation specialist?
Healthcare documentation specialists are workers who focus on the administrative side of healthcare, working with documents and paperwork. Depending on their specific job, they could transcribe and edit recorded notes from physicians and other medical professionals, work with billing and medical coding, review and organize patient records, or update patient records.
How much does a healthcare document specialist make?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical records specialists can make around $47,180 per or $22.69 per hour.
How do you become a healthcare documentation specialist?
To become a healthcare documentation specialist, you need at least some post-high school education, though you don’t necessarily need a college degree to qualify for the job. You should get some training in healthcare basics like HIPAA practices, medical terminology, and electronic health records. Once you’ve completed training, the next step is to get certified. While certification isn’t required to find a job in the field, many employers may prefer to hire documentation specialists who are certified over those who aren’t. A common certification you can pursue is the Certified Electronic Health Records Specialist (CEHRS) exam.
