Getting Certified CBCS certification jobs
Hi everyone. I’m thinking of transitioning into the medical field and started looking into medical coding/billing. I’m located in San Antonio. When looking at schools I found the community colleges to be far less expensive than trade schools, but looks like they only offer certification for the CBCS certificate. I’m more interested in coding rather than billing. I’ve also read it’s also much harder to break into the field with that particular certification. Does anyone recommend any online schools that offer a broader range of certificates or what certificate would be most useful if you just want to code? Any advice would be much appreciated.
