    Dear all,

    I am located in Boston, MA. I am looking for someone who is in medical coding and billing field? I have a few questions about this field as career.

    3. Do we need to have any background in science stream like a bachelors or masters degree in science
    4. What is the entry level pay scale and is their any career growth in this field?

    Thanks in advance!
