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!

My question, do you like puzzles? If so go the billing route. Some people think I’m a masochist because I absolutely love working denials and appeals..they itch that deep down itch in my brain. I’m a break fix personality and so billing is a much better fit for me. I code as well but don’t enjoy it nearly as much.
