Good online medical coding school [2008-09-21]
I would like to know if anyone could recommend a good medical coding school and how is the outlook for medical coding? Will these jobs eventually be outsourced to India? Any info would help.
A Career as a Medical Transcriptionist [2008-09-09]
You’ve very likely heard of someone who is making a good living as a medical transcriptionist. He or she might even be working from the comfort of their home. And you’ve probably asked yourself if this might be a career option for you.
It may well be. Let’s take a look at the facts.
What exactly is medical transcription? In the course of their work, doctors and other healthcare professionals make dictated recordings of various things including physical examination observations, patient history, operative reports, referral letters, discharge summaries, observations regarding imaging data and so on.
A medical Transcriptionist listens to these recordings and transcribes them into medical reports, correspondence, etc. She listens to a segment of recording, pauses the playback and keys in what is said before moving on to the next segment. She may do some editing for better grammar and clarity.
The transcribed document is sent back to the health care provider who then reviews it for accuracy and gets it signed. These documents become part of the patient’s medical history records and perhaps insurance records.
Many distance education programs, colleges and vocational schools offer post-secondary training in medical transcription. Having a degree is not essential. With a home-study course, you can usually pick up the necessary knowledge within a year, often in less than nine months.
You can find work in hospitals, laboratories, physician’s offices, firms offering transcription services, government medical facilities and so on. Working from home is also a possibility and many employers offer work-at-home options for transcriptionists. Apart from that, many individuals work as independent contractors.
What equipment would you need, if you wanted to do medical transcription at home? Not very much -- a computer with a medical spellchecker, printer, a transcriber and reference books are about all you need. To help you save on the actual typing, a word Expander utility might help. If you are on a tight budget, buy second hand equipment will do just as well.
Medical transcription work does call for certain skills and mindset. Apart from basic computer skills, you must be detail oriented. If detail work bores you to tears, this might not be the career for you.
You must know typing, although speed will come with practice. You should also have excellent listening skills and grammar skills.
If you’re planning to work from home, it is essential to be comfortable with working alone and meeting deadlines. You must be a self-starter who can work consistently without being driven by a boss.

I know there is some free stuff at www.ritecode.com
Not sure what all is there but this may help you.
You need training! [2008-08-27]
No, you need training. Coding isn't really any more difficult, but it is a different set of skills.
MTs make great coders, though! Familiarity with reports and their contents, gives them a biiiig head start.

Transcription question [2008-05-14]
Hello, I have a few questions. I amcurrently taking a medical transcription course. It actually is the final part of my program I have been taking.I am doing the Hillcrest Medical Center book. I am having lots of trouble with the cases in the book. Trouble hearing them and understanding them. My teacher says that I need to be flexible in my working conditions. See I am doing this transcription in a classroom with about 15 other women that are working all kinds of other things. Lots of talking, and other activities going on. My question is....Is this typical in an office? I have read that typically a Transcriptionist is working in a quite part of the office or at home. Also, transcription isn
My other question is how do you get your foot in the door?? I only have a small amount of experience in an office and, that was a distribution office at that. I have no medical office experience. It is just so hard to get into any place because they want experience. I can Thanks
medical coding [2008-04-27]
I am going to do the same thing. I went into transcription 17 years ago, because at that time the pay was better than medical assistant, which I went to school for. Over that time, I have tried to change careers and even have a degree in visual communications (a lot of technology, etc) and am a senior at a big 10 school finishing a degree, BUT, because of the stereotypes of transcriptionist, it is very difficult.
I am going to finish the BA degree as well as getting a medical coding certificate from this same big 10 school. (ICD-9 and CPT, etc. -- not medical billing and coding). What do you think about that? Are there many 32-hour part-time jobs or 36 hours jobs for coders in hospitals? I have worked in hospitals for 17 years.
Re: Medical Coding Career [2008-04-24]
I was in your same shoes a couple years ago. Newly single mom of three young kids - one with a disability - and nursing school was no longer possible. Thatt finishe yet, but I am already coding for a clinic. I started there as a receptionit and when they found out what I was in school for I kept getting asked to fill out forms needing codes. More and more later, I am now being transitioned into a billing/coding position, and am able to flex some of my position from home. Plus, since it is work related, my employer will pay for my books, certification exam fee. My advice for newcomers to the field is to get a job at least part time at a clinic, privte doctors office somewhere. That's where most coders I know, and myself, have gotten their foot in the door. And it is well worth it in the end.
Medical coding career is better than MT [2008-04-01]
For those MT's who are planning to get in to medical coding, i would like to say that medical coding is far better career than MT.
I was a MT for two years and then switched to coding. I feel like jumping into a heaven. Moneywise, coding is 10 times better than MT. The job is cool and once you finish your training and OJT period, then everything becomes fine. So go for coding.
Job prospects are good. There is huge shortage of medical coders in US. Also, coders are required in Pharma industry and Clinical Research, so growth prospects are also good.

Medical transcription school [2008-03-13]
Do the M-Tec program. I am by no means a recruiter or anything of the sort. I am an M-Tec graduate and have had job offers coming out my ears and it all started with my good solid education with M-Tec not to mention M-Tec still after all these years sends me emails with places contacting them to hire their grads. Not the cheapest program, not the most expensive, just the best by far. You will not be sorry if you choose them.

Medical Transcription Training [2008-03-05]
I was wondering if anyone had taken the Medical Transcription course at Exact-Med-UTTC Transcription Training. It seems to be long and expensive, but says once you finish you are at acute care level 4 dictation. I'm not really familiar with all this and was wondering if this would really give me an advantage to finding a job.

Medical transcription & coding? [2007-12-20]
I have been doing medical transcription for 8 years and am not making as much money as I would like. I was thinking about taking a coding course with Career Step. I am wondering if that would really help me make more money or help me to become more of an asset to start working in a hospital instead of at home. I am especially worried that the money I will put out to take this course will not be worth it in the long run. Does anybody do both or work in a hospital doing this? Thank you for any advice!!

Reputable medical billing companies... [2007-11-13]
Does anyone know of a billing company that hires billers to work from home? I live in Atlanta, GA. Any help is much appreciated.
Medical Billing & Coding Question [2007-09-20]
I am currently an MT and I am considering training in Medical Billing/Coding but have a couple general questions:
Are these one in the same - billing/coding or two completely different positions?
How do you get paid? Is it by production?
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Coding vs. transcription [2007-08-19]
Honestly? As long as you're going to work for doctors, the pay isn't all that different. I do believe coders in hospitals make more than the transcriptionists. Each job has its share of headaches. I was an MT for a long time, went to medical billing because of lack of MT jobs and am now coming back to full circle to doing MT at home. I like billing/coding, just not the dozen back-biting women I have to deal with.

I went to Rasmussen and loved it! sm [2008-10-08]
I got my Associates degree in health information technology and am studying for my RHIT. If you want to be more employable, an RHIT credential is the only way to go. If you want to focus solely on coding, thenI I I Rasmussen was a GREAT school and I loved it!
Thank you for the encouragement and information [2008-10-08]
Thanks again for the info and encouragement that if I put my mind to it that I can do it :o) I'm pretty young, late 20s, and have no children, and only work about 25 hours per week so I have a LOT of time on my hands LOL So, I figure why not use it to challenge myself to learn something new.
Also, that's a great idea to get involved maybe with outpatient coding first, maybe with an imaging center or an urgent care type place first. I don't pretend to know anything much about surgeries or what they charge or use during a surgery (except what I see on TV) haha. j/k :-)
I'm excited, and what I'm hoping for is that if I put at least some effort in knowing this information and at least start learning it, that maybe as we transfer into Voice recognition with transcription at the hospital I work for, and instead of loosing my job to V.R., maybe they'll let me transfer into a billing department as a Newbie to learn.
Thanks again ladies, this was so very helpful to me! Have a great day :-)
About the bootcamp... [2008-10-07]
They have them all over the U.S. each week in different cities. It's basically a seminar that goes over all aspects of coding and then you can take the exam. A friend of mine just did it and obtained a position in a teaching hospital making 45K/year. She did, however, have about 5 years experience with medicare claims that needed to be re-sent to medicare after they'd been denied or something like that. So I'm sure that helped her get the medical billing auditor job she has now.
I certainly don't expect to make that much starting out lol, but it'd be nice to do auditing in the future as I love to investigate things.
The bootcamps cost 1500$ roughly. That doesn't include room/board, just the classes and exam.
Apparently the exam is open book 150 questions.
Starting out in Coding or billing [2008-10-06]
Hi, I've been an MT for about 8 years but would like to learn medical billing and coding procedures. I plan on teaching myself as much as possible (and asking people that I know who are professional coders questions) and then taking the 4 day boot camp & take the CPC-A (apprentice) exam. What would you ladies suggest I start with? A CPC study guide? I am about 90% sure I can obtain a job in my hospital once I actually have a certification.
Thank you so much in advance!
By the way, I already have med term., a&p I and II w/ labs, and have an extensive knowledge about anatomy. The thing I need brushing up on are meds/surgical instruments, etc...
Thanks again for your help!!
I am in NO way confused.... [2008-10-02]
Iworked in medical records for a few years before working from home, so I know exactly how it runs and what the job duties are because I participated in many of them. I also worked with coders who had worked in the field for 10 years and stillhad to go through an accredited program before being eligible to sit for their exams.
The program that I am taking is heavy in coding, so sorry dear, but I won Also, once I complete all studies that I plan to take I will be eligible for the RHIA exam.
I
You can sit for the exam with NO course. [2008-10-01]
You seem to be confused about the exams and credentials.
You are warning others to be careful of which school they pick because just because you finish a coding course doesn
That's not correct. You can sit for any CODING certification offered by AHIMA or AAPC even if you DON'T finish a coding course. You don't even have to start! They only require a high school diploma. AHIMA doesn't even require experience.
You do need to be careful of what school you pick because some of them don't produce employable coders.
As for you, your course is a 2-year RHIT program. You DO need the course in order to sit for the RHIT exam.
However, an RHIT program is not a degree in management. It is a technical degree. ThatT is for--technician.
It will qualify you to be a worker bee in a medical records environment--the same job people off the street can get. You can put together patient records, shelve and retrieve them, make photocopies to release patient information, check reports for signatures, etc.
A better job would be coding. It pays better and it's more interesting. It takes less time, too. You could do all the coding first, then get a job while you do the rest.
The RHIA is the management degree. There are RHITs who work their way up into management in small facilities, but most of them end up filing records or coding. RHIAs run the show.

Good online medical coding school [2008-09-21]
I would like to know if anyone could recommend a good medical coding school and how is the outlook for medical coding? Will these jobs eventually be outsourced to India? Any info would help.
Outlook for coding [2008-09-21]
The outlook for coding is very good. There is an increasing need for coders, due to the type of reimbursement system used in the United States and an ageing population which requires more medical care, among other things.
There are already a huge number of coding positions going unfilled due to a shortage of coders. Within the next several years, the United States will likely be switching to a more complex coding system. It is expected that many older coders will choose to retire and less competent coders will seek other work rather than try to make the switch. It is thought that a huge number of jobs will open up just prior to the changeover to ICD-10.
Large-scale outsourcing the jobs to India is unlikely. There has been an actual decrease in interest in this, with some of the federal sector healthcare entities banning offshoring entirely. It is expected that the private sector will follow.
Unlike some other jobs, there is a high need for control of the coding and reimbursement process. Coding has a critical effect on reimbursement, with errors resulting in lost income and the potential for huge fines and criminal sanctions. Offshore workers cannot be held liable for this, which has served to squelch interest in offshoring. Recent developments in privacy and security requirements (HIPAA), with the threat of medical identity theft, are cooling interest in offshoring, as well.
As an occupation, coding offers good potential for advancement. Even if it becomes possible to assign codes via software, the higher level jobs will still be necessary and available. Coders will move easily into other roles.
your qualifications? [2008-09-18]
Do you have any training in coding?
What are your qualifications for a coding job? It's a job that will definitely require some schooling and almost all jobs require coding credentials.
There are off-site billing jobs. [2008-09-13]
Yes, there are off-site billing jobs, but not very many.
Off-site coding jobs are increasing, but they require solid credentials from either AHIMA or AAPC. Some are more restrictive. A few may prefer AHIMA RHIAs with a CCS, for instance. Nearly all require one to several years of on-site experience.
They aren they're jobs that require reading medical records, analyzing what went on, and coding it yourself. It's all production work, too.

Are there any at home coding jobs?? [2008-09-08]
Hi everyone! About 5 years ago I completed some courses through my local college for medical coding/billing and transcription. I liked the billing much better and did that for a busy family practice for 5 years. For the past 2 years I've been home with my kids. I would really like to work but with the rising price of gas it would not pay for me to get an outside job. I live out in the country and the closest doctors office or hospital is 35 miles away. Are there companies that offer a home based billing opportunity?
Thanks!
Amanda
At-Home Scams [2008-09-07]
Has anybody clicked on the add that comes up on the top of this page from time to time that asks you if you want to make major money working part time at home. I clicked on it and it said something about Rebate Processor Positions. I figure it is another scam and I should not have clicked on it, but I am getting sick of making pennies per line for the past 10 years doing medical transcription and getting no where. Anyway, I was just curious if anybody knows anything about this potential scam?? Thanks!
Re: coding jobs [2008-08-31]
It can be hard to get a coding job right out of school, and I am always telling people I know with the same question; if you I have known people to work their way in by doing this. I did it myself over a year and a half ago, and I am now the clinic division Billing coordinator for a hospital system. Also, let your schooling intentions be known to those you are applying to.Get all the practice you can with coding, from practice workbooks. There are quite a few available from Ahima, AAPC websites bookstores, Borders online, etc... You need to know what you and once you have one of those, getting a job should be easier. But, the exam is not easy! So again, practice, practice, practice.
Any idea...... [2008-08-27]
if I can make the transition from MT to coder without any coder training? Thanks!!
No way.. [2008-08-27]
absolutely not way that would work. you wouldn't even know where to begin. Coding requires very specific training and knowledge. Even heard of the Official Coding Guidelines? You need to know them and how to apply them. Even with the coding training, it's not easy to get into.
You need training! [2008-08-27]
No, you need training. Coding isn't really any more difficult, but it is a different set of skills.
MTs make great coders, though! Familiarity with reports and their contents, gives them a biiiig head start.
I disagree [2008-08-27]
I think coding is considerably more difficult because it requires much greater analytical skills, considerably more understanding of the total disease process and pathophysiology and is much more subjective than transcription. It is that subjectivitiy that makes it more difficult. sometimes there can be more than one right code for a given scenario AND because it is so regulated by the insurance industry and the government, CMS mainly. Transcription, on the other hand, has a definite right and wrong. it is either what the dictator said or is isn I am not saying transcription is easy by any means. I fully understand the knowledge required to be a good MT and the challenges that transcription poses. I am simply saying that I find coding much more of a challenge. I have been transcribing for about 25 years and coding at a large teaching facility for about 6 years. Personally, I couldn't really compare the two. They are worlds apart. And one does not necessarily make it easier to transition to the other.
to clarify... [2008-08-27]
i should have said that what I disagree with is the statement that coding isn't any more difficult. I definitely DO agree that you need training.
Things you can to to improve your prospects. [2008-08-26]
There aren't too many work-at-home jobs for new coders. You might need to bite the bullet and agree to work on-site for a short while.
Start now to prepare yourself to take and pass a CPC, CCS, or CCS-P certification exam when you graduate, because that is the key to getting hired.
In your courses, do not aim for a passing grade, but for a perfect grade. Squeaking by is not enough--the deficit will accumulate.
If your course uses only one coding textbook, get different textbooks and learn everything they teach, too. Work every problem in every textbook, as well as in Clinical Coding Workout, and Marsha Diamond's Medical Coding Practice and Review, and every other review book you can find. You might be able to get them on interlibrary loan.
Find out the certification requirements NOW for both AAPC and AHIMA, so that you won't waste time barking up the wrong tree. Those exams require you to be able to CODE, so that is what you need to learn to do. You need to know the anatomy, pharmacology, lab, and med language cold, but you must be able to code. If you can demonstrate to an employer that you can do that, they may hire you and you can move home quickly.
That's a different story. [2008-08-23]
What you had, then, was a poor documentation issue rather than a coder problem.
Billers have a long tradition of thinking the coders are terrible and also of thinking the job isn't as complicated as it actually is. It's a lot like having the receptionist think the billers' jobs are easy and that she could do it without training because all she sees is typing and she can do that.
That's not saying YOU are seeing it that way, but just pointing out that the situation from the coders' side might not have been quite what you thought.
Coders code only from what is in the documentation. You donled to do so, in which case it was still not ok.
Hospitals are constantly being investigated and sanctioned for this. Just having a supervisor approve it is no guarantee that it's ok--a supervisor and some other corporate sorts from 30 miles south of me are in federal prison right now for doing the same thing.
But, if you are able to know what should have been coded from seeing a bill, then you might be an expert already. In that case, try taking the CCS exam and see what happens. If you pass and can get a job, then you're ahead of the game. If you can't, then you'll know you need more education.
I can say with some certainty that you will not get a job working from home coding inpatient records without on-site experience, even with a CCS. It's even less likely to occur with a CCA, and your chances of being hired at all for inpatient coding with a CCA aren't great. Keeping the job would present a difficulty, too, considering the productivity requirements employers have.
In truth, your chances of getting a job doing remote billing are better. It would certainly be less trouble.
Actually, [2008-08-22]
Well, in the interest of brevity, i left out the part, where i went to the coders and talked to them, and they went to the doctors and got the correct documentation, it was all done legally and with my supervisor's and the Medical records supervisor's permission. I worked for a very large hospital, and no fraud was committed.
biling vs coding [2008-08-20]
I have seen on this forum in addition to multiple other the difficulty which new coders are having gaining entry-level employment.
Is this also true in medical billing or is billing easier to get a foot in the door with training but no experience?
What is the difference in pay for billers vs coders?
Free Medical billing test [2008-08-19]
I am trying to refresh my skills in medical billing after being off a few years to raise my kids. I also have had a billing service for many years and wanted to test my skils. Are there any websites around that will give me a test.
Thanks
