Coding And Billing
Can anyone help me get my foot in the door for Medical Coding/billing?
I have no experience in medical coding and billing, but I do have a BA and was just laid off my job of 9yrs in sales and marketing. I am an extremely fast learner and and very organized (anally organized) and great w people. I am also very good w computers. I live in the Chicago area. Any help/recommendations?
Your best bet is to get educated in the field – online training or college courses. I was a coder (ART) for 10 years, and most hiring for this position is only considered for those with training. Lots of opportunities once your in the field – I worked in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, work comp companies, then found a consultant position which involved travel and eventually an at-home position with remote coding. I loved my job as a coder and miss it at times – change in life circumstances now has me as a homemaker.
