Medical coding is a job that is cloaked in mystery because it sounds like something that only a select few can do, but coders are in demand and you can do it too!
Medical Coders convert physician’s chart notes into codes that are sent to the various insurance companies and the medical provider is reimbursed. All of the money issues that doctors and hospitals deal with start and stop with medical coding.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities are not the only place where coders are in demand. Insurance companies need certified coders to review payment requests because accountability is needed on both sides of the aisle.
The good news about a job like this is that in many ways it is “recession-proof.” No one gets paid until bills are put together correctly, that is why the coding departments are spared during layoffs and cutbacks.
The one thing that will stop most people from realizing their dreams is not getting started. Take our training course now, get certified, and see where coding can take you. Even as the economy suffers you don’t have to. Nothing but good things lie ahead!
