What is a HIM Tech?

HIM Techs, or Health Information Management Technicians, are professionals responsible for organizing, managing, and protecting patients' medical records and health information data in healthcare settings. They ensure the accuracy, accessibility, and security of both paper and electronic medical records. HIM Techs often work with coding systems, process insurance claims, and comply with healthcare regulations such as HIPAA. Their work supports both clinical care and administrative processes within hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities.
