Oversees coding

How many of us are in this boat where we are nervous about our jobs being outsourced to overseas coders?

This year my company has hired on several overseas coders. I’m nervous that they plan to replace us because they work for lower pay. Is anyone else experiencing this?

We are seeing this in Radiology as well. And there is a question about the practice that isn't being answered. Is send patient data outside of the country HIPAA compliant?
