Which medical insurance career do you prefer, medical insurance doctor in a medical facility, or in an insurance company? Why?

If you are good enough to be flourish in your own profession then stick to it, I mean to say you are capable to be a specialist, consultant then keep going with your profession.

If don't think so then still you have to see can you handle complexity of claims/approvals then go for any of these. with passage of time you will learn the practice of insurance in claims and approvals. you need experience in your pocket and Insurance qualification to be in management position.

Approval doctor, claims adjudicator are the better choices initially.

 

I like insurance company better because even doctors get sick and hospitals can close down, in such case one is left helpless.

At least start as a physician for a few years then you can take insurance courses to have a better understanding for the way things work from an insurance perspective. 

Technically, in an insurance company, you will utilize more of your medical background and you will have a higher exposure to medical claims technical and medical review and other issues like cost containment, loss ratio, fraud, waste, and abuse.

on the other hand in a medical facility, your role will be only for submitting claims and medical coding.

Dear Sir

 

Thanks for the invite

 

Let me say from a doctor's perspective,

 

As a clinician there is always a soul filling satisfaction when the patient goes out from dr's office with a happy smile, it is more rewarding than the monetary gains we earn ,

 

After many years of practice I came in HEALTH INSURANCE not by choice but by chance and circumstances,

 

In these 6 years I acquired enough knowledge in the basic concepts of insurance, the rules, regulations, policies and the matters concerned, now I'm adequately trained in claim auditing , submissions , re-submissions, medical reviewing, medical  under writing , fraud finding and  formulating evaluating and implementing health care policies.

 

From a 'lone hero' now I wish to work as 'team leader ' in a managerial level   in health insurance with an insurance company. The reason being I wanna grow further and wanna take the next step in my career, which would be more challenging, fulfilling and rewarding , of course that corporate culture and financial benefits counts too.

 

 In future, I have plans to start my own ventures in insurance sector.

Thank you , Regret unable to answer the question because I am an insurance underwriter and not a doctor .

My best wishes.

Basically it varies from person to person. Both options are better, its just our mind set how we take our responsibilities and how we work on them
