How difficult is it to work from home doing medical billing and coding?
November 24th, 2009 by admin
I am studying through a online Institute for medical billing and coding. I actually want to be able to work from home so I can be with my three young children. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to do this type of work from home? Are there many medical groups that let “biller and coders” 
work from home?

Sorry, I don’t know about medical billing but if you want to work from home you should check out http://www.beyourownbossplus.net. I work for a medical discount company from home. It is a 15 year old company and is a member of US Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Dental Plans. If you look into it you will find out that it is a legitimate 100 million dollar company. The best part is you can earn money while helping people save on medical expenses which is very important considering today’s economy and people losing their jobs and benefits. You would work as an independent contractor and make your own hours. There is no telemarketing or cold calling. I actually learned about the company from Yahoo answers and I am glad I did.
You will want to get certified when you are done. See the AHIMA website and http://www.med-certification.com for more information on that. There are some national coding companies where you can work at home, but you may want to get some practice in a doctor’s office first.
Hi, what school do you attend online for medical billing and coding?
there are some schools that only offer certification for that field. But if you want to make good $$ i suggest you go for you’re associates Degree. Not alot of schools offer associates Degree. Also, it is suggested that you first work at a hospital for at least a year before you branch out at home. and some hospitals will offer you to work from home, you will still be there employee with benefits and all, but you will do it from home. that is the best way to do it first before you go on you’re own. I am actually attending Devry University for Health Information Technology Medical Billing and Coding Associates Degree. They offer a life time Job placement So I wont go wrong with that.
