According to a report released by the Department of Energy, employment in Wyoming health care firms is expected to grow substantially in the coming decades. As medical billing and coding positions become increasingly competitive employees can also expect to see a steady rise in the wage level. Two dominating factors contributing to the salary increase are the state’s growing number of residents over 65 as well as rising levels of insured citizens.
