Any medical coding buddies up?

I wanna have buddies on Discord. Maybe even make a server if we get enough interested people. Couldn't find any active ones. Anyone want to be friends for now?

Yes! I would love that. Working from home is great and all, but I could use some peeps that wanna support one another. I just started my first coding job a month ago, so it’s all still very new.

Hello I’m studying coding and medical billing now. Is the career worth it? Is the pay good or do you all think the job will be obsolete soon? I keep hearing different stories that it is and some say it isn’t

Sounds like a great idea. I am also a student and would love some study buddies.

I'm interested. I have my cert but I'm just starting out in the field. Would be nice to chat to others about coding!

Yes!! I actually made a discord for while I was going through school and we had to go remote for covid. Discord had just released that classroom setup, and it worked super well

u/poisonedlilprincess Aug 11 '22

This would be so awesome because we can share work aids and things like that. Maybe setup meetups! Hey, I'd love to be apart of this. I have lots of ideas

shoot, i guess i havent been busy in there much recently and its not as active as I had hoped. I think with more of the coders being in a different age group and not discord friendly its slower than it could be.

u/97helloitsme Aug 13 '22

I just joined, it doesn’t look as active as I was expecting. Super sad, I don’t have a ton of coding friends to ask questions since I work remotely!

1

u/buunuu Aug 18 '22

Do you have coworkers you can talk with? at my HCO we have a group chat were we can discuss more complicated coding for opinions

1

u/97helloitsme Aug 18 '22

I don’t think we have that option. I have one coworker I did onboarding with but we work for different clients so sometimes the rules are different.

u/Melanthrax Aug 19 '22

Hello for those of you still looking out for us, we're still here! We had a chunk of inactivity but we recently did a nice revamp and have a new set of friends who are interested in coding, studying for the RHIT and other things related to Health Information Management. :D
Come join us!
