We would like to give simple answer to this:

In general, medical coding is for any graduates or post graduates from life sciences or pharmacy background. Ex: B.Sc or M.Sc with biology, micro biology or biochemistry etc..) or DPharmacy or BPharmacy.

Medical billing is for any graduate, but preferably for B.A, B.Com or M.A, M.Com. However, the medical billing is all about accounting and simple mathematics, hence any one can do it.

In general, Medical coding takes about 6 weeks for training and Medical billing 4 weeks. But please look for the professional institutes for medical billing training or medical coding training with hands on software facility is available. It will be great advantage if there is some hands on exposure to either medical coding software or medical billing software as appropriate.

Hope this helps. Please do let us know if you need any additional information.
