medical billing vs pharmacovigilance. which one would be better career option?
Hey Aspirant,
Pharmacovigilance is completely research based work which requires the study of adverse drug effects via Absorption, Digestion, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) . This is a great careers option for Life Sciences and Pharmacy Graduates.
Medical Billing/Coding on the other hand is a completely technical job which requires translating medical documents into codes by using coding manuals like ICD - 10 CM, CPT and HCPS , followed by generating statements via claiming/denying payments.
Both of these careers are in increasing demand in India. However, pharmacovigilance would offer you a higher pay+ more reputed post (As it comes under clinical research).
So, Pharmacovigilance would be a better career option.
Hope this helps.
Goodluck!
