Which two behind-the-scenes careers are frequently cited as top flexible options due to documentation-based work?

Medical Coding and Billing and Health Informatics Specialist.

For healthcare professionals prioritizing location independence, often meaning the ability to work entirely from home, the most flexible roles are frequently situated within the administrative, technical, and informatics sectors. Medical Coding and Billing is highly amenable to remote work because it is documentation-based, allowing coders to work for third-party services or hospital systems remotely, often managed by weekly quotas rather than hourly clock-ins. Similarly, the Health Informatics Specialist or Analyst role blends clinical knowledge with data management, focusing on EHRs and workflow streamlining, outputs which rarely necessitate physical presence, thus rewarding the role with high location independence.
