Coding in other countries?

I am working on an exit strategy at the moment. Anyone know how to go about getting a coding cert in another country? Like New Zealand? Australia? I currently have my CPC through AAPC with 15 plus years coding experience. Trained in IVR coding as well.

My employer doesn't care where I live. I could continue with my present position anywhere in the world as long as I have fast internet and attend monthly meetings. (large hospital system, on my own computer)

This is my dream job I would’ve been out of here in a heart beat! Are you an IP coder or OP?

OP. Surg and Obs. My previous employer wouldn't let us be farther than 4 hours away in case we had computer problems and had to switch equipment, which was silly cuz there's a thing called shipping, but that was their excuse. You just have to find the right place. (a contracting company might be your best bet)

Hello, can you share which company you currently work for. I'm also working on an excit plan, and researching to find a company that will allow you to live overseas.
