Free skills gap assessment
Revenue cycle staff handle everything between a patient's visit and the payment: coding the care, sending claims to insurers, following up on denied or unpaid claims and checking that payments are right. Revenue cycle analysts then look at the numbers to find where money is being lost.
It suits people who are careful with detail and patient with rules and paperwork. You don't need clinical training, but you do need to learn medical terms and coding, and a billing or coding certificate helps.
First roles are medical billing specialist or revenue cycle specialist. From there people move to revenue cycle analyst, coding specialist or team lead.

A guide, not a pass mark. Your Skills Gap Assessment shows how ready you are for each level and what to work on.
You answer yes or no to short statements about what you have actually done. Each statement belongs to one of 9 skill areas, and each area is weighted by how often employers ask for it, so the score reflects what jobs need.
