Medical billing and coder job at home?

I am a certified medical coder and I love my job. I really can't imagine doing anything else. I am not a people person or like to interact with the general public,s o sitting at my desk all day, looking up codes without having to talk to people is great for someone with my personality.

Another pro, the pay is pretty good and there is a lot of room for advancement with coding, there are many different areas that a coder can work in, you are not stuck and stagnant. Another pro- there is opportunity to work remotely, or from home. Most employers prefer you to have at least 3-5 years experience first, but afterward you gain experience, there are a lot remote possibilities.

The cons- like I said, you sit and do the same thing all day long and many find that boring. I will tell you though,this field is kinda over saturated with new grads with no experience, and most employers are looking to hire coders with at least 2 years experience. So the best advice is to try and find a job elsewhere in HIM, such as medical records, billing, account follow up.

The best advice is to start somewhere else in HIM, such as medical records, billing, account follow, data entry or even front desk. Gain much needed medical experience and become more familiar with ICD 9, CPT and reimbursement. After getting your foot in the door, you can leverage for a coding job.

My friend just graduated from her coding program and got a job (right away) at our local university hospital doing account follow up, it isn't coding, but it is a start and she can work her way up, like most of us have done. Good Luck.

Ir's good job.. I know in Dell company also having this type of Job available.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
