Hey everyone! Want to dive into Medical Billing & Coding? Check this out: MedicalCodingMasterclass.com/ I'm hosting a totally free career masterclass. Learn how to become a certified pro and land that dream job! No student loans, no full-time college drama. In this session, we’ll cover: What a day in the life of a Medical Coder looks like Insider info like salary and growth in the industry Tips for scoring the right training and even how to get it on the cheap! Why you might wanna rethink that financial aid What employers are really looking for It's jam-packed with goodies to get you started. Catch you there!
I have yet to see a video on the truth about finding a job and that people can't. I think this would help and while it may cause some people to NOT pay what's being offered from that masterclass, at least people will know what they're getting into. Too many people in the industry on here and other chat boards saying it's almost impossible to get a job as a coder unless you're already connected in the health care industry. These people have spent thousands to get the training and the books have to be purchased annually so it's just money down the drain if you can't apply what you learned.
Thanks for reaching out. As you can imagine, I get many requests for job seeking advice so I’ve compiled all of my best tips in this TH-cam playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLPHIVqUe1ntwWk43D_3ULgmATJ-XZ5Q52.html I think you’ll find it very helpful. I am not currently offering individual assistance on job searching at this time and do not have any job leads to provide for you. Best of luck!
I've been through one year of coding school but b/c I'm disabled and need to work from home, or somewhere nearby that I can get a ride to, my options are limited and it's taken me well over a year to get this job (which isn't reliable work) and right now, we're not even using coding books b/c of what we're doing (finding names from voicemails left at Dr's offices). So, I will definitely need to update my books, but I was wondering, are there any coding web sites you think are as useful and do they charge to use them?
I've been watching your videos, and I really want to learn coding and billing. I can't afford the cost/tuition. Is there another way to go into coding for a very low price or for free?
Because of the nature of medical coding, the only way to learn for free would be if you were able to borrow all the books (code books and training books) and self-study. Having said that, if the purpose of learning medical coding is because you want to be employed as a medical coder, you need to get a certification such as the CPC. That requires AAPC membership ($205 annually) as well as the exam fee of $499. I do discuss some of the low cost options in this video: th-cam.com/video/8IL7rI5hBaY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V6qt7ZzYgN4JY7y1
It's a common misconception that a single-payer system would simplify things to just one manual. In reality, coding serves many purposes beyond billing, such as tracking public health trends, managing patient care, conducting research, and ensuring accurate medical records. Different coding systems help in collecting detailed data that benefits multiple aspects of healthcare, from policy-making to individual patient outcomes. So, even with a single-payer system, we would still need comprehensive coding to maintain the quality and effectiveness of our healthcare system.
@@ContempoCoding I didn't say you wouldn't be DEARLY needed either way. It would just be great if it were CONSISTENT and comprehensive. Know what I mean?

This is the first video I’m seeing from you, and I’ve never subscribed faster
This makes me think of electricians national electric code and then NFPA 70

What if it's not listed in these books?
There's codes for unlisted procedures or diagnosis broken down by body system/area and then ones that are super unspecified.
where can i find free cpt test without having to scribe or give my cc
The only one I know of is a short one from CCO.us. Anything else you find for "free" would likely be a result of copyright infringement.
And how much do these books cost a year? 😭😭
$200-$300 but once you're employed, your employer usually covers them or an electronic equivalent.
So, single payer healthcare = single manual? Sweet! Let's do it.
It's a common misconception that a single-payer system would simplify things to just one manual.
