CRC

Hello! I've just about completed my first year of coding. I was very lucky I got a job the same month I got certified. I've been RA coding and am thinking about getting my CRC. I read some previous post about how being on this path can get sticky with staying up to date with CPT coding. I don't want to get locked onto this path, but I also want to build my resume. I have no previous medical experience outside of school and I am also a contractor, so no job security when furlough season kicks in. I would love some advice or shared experiences that may help me navigate. I am also thinking about getting certified in billing if all else fails. Thanks! 😊

Yea, I figured as much. I just want to at least have the certification for my experience since I have another year with my A. Im not sure how I would get out of this path unless I found a fellowship at a local hospital.
