It appears as if job seekers who have attended medical coding and billing schools may have the upper hand when looking for work in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, after a records management company said it was expanding its local operations in the state.
KSFY News reports that EDCO Group Incorporated, a Missouri-based company that provides solutions and expertise in electronic document management and medical records scanning and storage, has announced it will be adding 30 new positions at its Sioux Falls Technology Center operations this year.
Chez Tschetter, chief information officer at EDCO, told the news agency that the expansion will help the company meet the demands of the emerging business and its growing customer base.
"The healthcare, legal, and insurance industries are constantly expanding, and technology demands are growing too. South Dakota is known for its strong workforce and will certainly help us better meet the needs of the clients we serve," said Tschetter.
The company said it is looking to hire for a wide range of positions including managers, specialists and supervisors.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities for medical records and health information technicians are expected to grow faster than the average of other occupations, by 20 percent, through 2018.
