Employment of health information technicians is projected to grow 9 percent from 2020 to 2030. An aging population will require more medical services, and health information technicians will be needed to organize and manage the older generations’ health information data. Moreover, the number of individuals who have access to health insurance is expected to continue to increase because of federal health insurance reform. This will mean more claims for reimbursement from insurance companies.1

"Starting school at 40 was the scariest, most exciting decision I have ever made! I had a great experience at MTTI. Everyone I dealt with at the school is has been so encouraging; they make you feel you want to be there. I'm such a cheeleader for trade schools! They provide such good opportunities for people who don't want to invest four years of their life in getting a college degree that may not even lead to a career. I definitely recommend MTTI to anyone."

"It's a journey you can take pride in. Before starting school at MTTI I researched and read all of the online reviews. The school has a good reputation. I’m very satisfied with my outcome. Provided I keep up my AAPC Membership and Continuing Education Credits, I can take my Certification to any state. Attending the Medical & Billing/Office program was a good investment. I am proud of what I have accomplished!"
