Why in UAE?
Medical Coding is emerging as a great career prospect for candidates who wish to relocate to UAE or already in UAE and looking for better career options in the health care sector.
The authorities like HAAD, DHA have given clear guidelines for Medical coders working in Abu Dhabi hospitals. The HAAD guidelines states that Medical Coders working in Abu Dhabi should have certification / credentials to work as Medical coders.
The career prospect of experienced Medical Coders in UAE is currently based on the clearing certification exams like CPC / CCS.
The career prospect of fresh aspirants intending to enter into medical coding in UAE is almost impossible without US based certifications.
The hospital sector is capable of yielding four times of the revenue generated by the hotel industry for the same amount of investment, a leading hospital management expert told the Hotel Show Dubai 2013 at the Dubai World Trade Centre on Sunday.
Dubai can hope to position itself alongside Singapore and Thailand, both of which offer quality healthcare and good hospitality infrastructure. India has good healthcare, but it is not so good in terms of hospitality. Dubai has very good hospitality and good healthcare," he saidAccording to him, out of the 40 million transit passengers at the Dubai airport, on an average 1,500 to 2,000 patients daily change flights to travel to medical tourism destinations daily. With Dubai's excellent hospitality and healthcare infrastructure, it should be possible to attract some of them to seek treatment here.
In Dubai, UAE the average annual salary of a billing and coding specialist varies between $36,000 (132,000 AED) and $43,000 (158,000 AED).
The CPC certification from AAPC is the most influential credential that medical coders need to have for jobs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UAE. That's because it's a internationally well-known and accredited qualification that employers see as demonstrative of coding skills
Not long ago medical insurers were licking their lips at the prospect of the United Arab Emirates, where the authorities were set to make medical cover compulsory for their huge expatriate populations.
Things haven't quite turned out like that. Delays occurred. The process of introducing mandatory cover proved complicated. Cover was to be provided only by licensed providers (and brokers). And local directors would need to be on company boards. In addition, solvency criteria had to be established - the last thing the emirates needed was the bankruptcy of an "approved" insurer.
Abu Dhabi introduced compulsion from 2008. Valid medical cover from an approved insurer was a condition of entry. If it wasn't on the visa, you risked having to take a flight out of the country. Competition between providers in a market so well signaled was fearsome - which translated into good deals for expats.
But Dubai, which lacks Abu Dhabi's oil reserves, equivocated. When the 2008 global financial crisis hit, the emirate formally postponed its "compulsion" plan. It didn't want to exacerbate the exodus of its expat population.
