Health Coaching as a profession has been growing and evolving for some time now. Amazing changes have taken place over the past decade or so, creating the perfect climate for Health Coaches to succeed and make an impact on health and wellness. The field is becoming increasingly recognized and respected as an integral part of maintaining health and overall well-being (1). If you have been considering earning your Health Coach Certification, the path to success is more defined now than it has ever been.
In 2010, a few organizations pioneered Health Coaching, and within six short years, the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaches (NBHWC) worked with the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) to provide Health Coaches with the opportunity to become Board Certified (2). Along with these strides, in 2020, the American Medical Association (AMA) approved billing codes for insurance companies. One of the advantages of becoming Board Certified is that you can bill insurance.
