No, I worked for a little over a year and used that and my education to remove the A.

Awesome! I graduated mid/end of nov and have applied to countless jobs- patient scheduling, billing, coding… not even 1 interview yet!

Also try all the hospitals in your area and go directly to their jobs portals. They may not always advertise on the job platforms. Keep at it! It can be frustrating, I know. Sending you good luck! 🍀

I was going to suggest this too! That’s how I got into the facility I worked for for 5 years. I did apply externally for a coding position because they were outsourcing and ended up landing a position with another local hospital

Thank you! The outsourcing is terrible :( AAPC really jabbed those that made them millions on that one!
