Very well said! I really appreciate your candor and professionalism. I am finding I have to really work for my education, fight to find a CPC exam (within 200 miles of me) and now understand what you are saying about the job hunting. You have to really WANT this career! So far so good because I do not mind hard work, but I do need to be pain in the end and I think this will.
I wish dentist offices were required to hire a coder that knows how to Code medically necessary oral surgery with surgical codes instead of dental codes. This is a problem with every dentist I know.
If they're so in demand then it should trickle to new coders. Regret investing time to get roadblocked by experience required. Please tell me what company hires a coder with no exp.
Great video Victoria..I am taking the CPC exam next year and I wanted to do Practicode through the AAPC, do you think it would be beneficial do the Practicode 1st
I have mild CP affecting my hand and therefore, I'm a slow typist. Would I realistically be able to keep up with coding and billing quotas? Registration and office assisting work seems easy by comparison.
I just saw this posted on a Facebook group... "Are you looking to jumpstart your career in medical coding? My client is currently looking for 30-50 entry level coders who are ready to start their medical coding career with a fortune 500 company. This is a long term contract to hire position that will start in February/March of 2022. You must have an active coding certification through AHIMA or AAPC to be considered (CPC-A is accepted). If you are interested in learning more about this role, please send an updated resume to kfrenette@csicompanies.com Thank you and referrals are greatly appreciated 🙂"
@@ContempoCoding As someone who just gotten there CPC-A through the AAPC. I just sent an email to the organization and will keep you all posted to see if they respond.
Victoria, Do you think I would have an advantage since I had 10 years experience as medical assistant? I'm excited about getting back into healthcare .
For specific salary information based on region, experience, and credentials, I would recommend checking the AAPC Salary Calculator: www.aapc.com/tools/medical-coding-salary-calculator.aspx

I live in Oklahoma and this online degree website doesn’t offer me the program because of where I live kind of sucks.

As someone who is newly credentialed as a coder and looking for a job- yes you will!
How can I get skills to help me out with this opportunity of a billing and coder specialist????
You need to take classes and pass a certification exam though AAPC or AHIMA.
What's the average entry level salary then before you obtain the experience Skilled Medical Coder title?
