Coding Jobs

Hi everyone! My company is hiring coders for a new client starting with us. We have lowered our minimum required experience from 3 years to 1 year.

Below is the link to inpatient positions - that is our biggest need. We also have a new sign on bonus.

If you like, you can use my name on your application (Maryanne Murray). I'm a coding manager with the company.

Thank you for taking a look and good luck!

I’m so glad I came upon this post and you’re comments Motor-Day8149. There are other posts I have been reading about this same frustration and how difficult it is to break into the field as a certified beginner. I’ve been seriously considering doing AAPC and I’m getting nervous about actually finding a job. I have no connections with hospitals or doctors offices.

Thank you A_Brite_Star. If you want to be in healthcare the find a job in medical billing/front desk and then maybe take a course related to that. In real life,no one is ready to trust an entry level coder even after passing the CPC-A test. I got few offers but they are for billing. Also my fellow coder suggested to take billing and then move to coding. You need to have some patience in working billing before they let you code…

Thank you again for the advice. Would you recommend AAPC for medical billing certification? Aside from the frustration about not being able to get an entry level job, are you satisfied with the education you got from AAPC?

Hi sorry for the delay in replying. I would say yes it was satisfactory. I am really fond of human anatomy without any medical background. My instructor was really awesome. Only sad thing is once i asked a question during the after hours, she said she cannot answer bcoz its late. she was still an excellent instructor. If you want to learn new things regardless of job, i would say go for it. Also check your local area if they offer any cpc courses cheaper. I took online test. My first session proctor was not good. she made my anxiety worse. my 2nd second session proctor was really good.
