What can an inexperienced medical coder do to get a job?

Is it hard to get a job as a medical coder after you receive a certificate from a technical college in coding?

  • Answer:

    Unfortunately, there aren't supposed to be too many jobs for the medical coder (or biller or medical assistant) despite what those private $$ schools say :) The coder must have a few years experience doing coding tasks along with certification(s) upon passing an exam to possibly otain a coding job. If still wanting training, please look at the more affordable schools such as the county vo-tech school or community college as long as it's accredited within the industry.

Maybe. You're better off to get a degree instead of a certificate. Then you can take the RHIT exam, which a lot of places require. It depends on the hospital's/physician's office guidelines in your area and what they require though. Check with them.
