Medical Billing And Coding Course
Are there any Medical Coding and billing refresher courses or DVD’s on this subject?
I’m am also interested in some kind of toll free #’s that might have some Medical Billing answers. Or even just some at home DVD’s that are solely based on med Coding And Billing.
…but from what I understand, the best way to get a refresher course is to go back to the school or institute that trained you originally and see what they offer. A list of schools by state can be found here:

There is also a forum for folks who do medical coding and billing so they can discuss various aspects. You may get some results by asking your questions there. You can find it at http://www.medicalbillingandcoding.net/medical_billers_forum.htm
From what I understand, in order to do this for a living you need to be certified, and then to maintain your certification, you need continuing education credits, or CEUs.
There is a book that can help you at http://www.amazon.com/Step-Step-Medical-Coding-2008/dp/1416046550/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210735327&sr=8-3
Step-by-Step Medical Coding 2008 Edition – Text and Workbook Package (Paperback) by Carol J. Buck (Author)
There does not appear to be any freestanding DVD courses to refresh your knowledge. I suspect there is too much money to be made with courses offered through fromal schools and institutes.
A neighbor does this for a living working from home and all her CEUs and refreshers come to her through her employer.
