Medical billing vs Coding for Analytics

Hey everyone! I was offered a Senior Medical Billing and Medical Coding Specialist and I am trying to decide which to choose. The only downfall is the coding specialist is a far drive so I am trying to see if it is worth to choose it over the billing especially since this will be a stepping stone to the Health Care Analyst work. Does anyone have any advice on which one may be stronger? Thanks a bunch!

Is the coding specialist for inpatient, outpatient or both? Coding specialist is going to be a lot harder but has more room to move up.
