Should I wait to take classes woth ICD10

For those of you who are currently coders, do you intend to stick around for ICD10? Are any of you planning on getting out of the field? Do you know what your employer has in mind as far as training staff for the ICD10? Just curious. I just talked to an HIM director who said she is worried as more than half of her staff has indicated they intend to leave! Should make for a lot of jobs for new coders. ...

For the MM program, we will not be provided the manuals until we move into "real coder" status. Bummer. They are providing us with ebooks but I don't think the actual manuals would come in ebook format, am I right? So, I found some 2014 ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS books by Optum on Amazon (is that Optum Ingenix?) They are "official drafts" - whatever that means, sounds like an oxymoron to me. Also why am I not seeing a combined ICD-10-CM and PCS book, didn't they used to do that f ...

I was at our county fair this afternoon (town of 2200) and I know someone who works in the on-line tech school office and she said that the MT classes are going strong and students are graduating and getting jobs, but apparently they are in-house. I am going to get the teacher's name and number and call her and see where they are going and how much they are making as this does not make sense at all. The place the classes come out of is about 80,000 people and I know that all the ...

I want to take coding classes, but the school that everybody says is the best is an online course. I am an MT, working full time and then some. The last thing I want to do is sit in front of the computer any more than I already do. Why can't these classes be offered in a regular class setting? I've never liked the idea of online school as long as I'm working on line. Just too much sitting and staring at the screen. I don't think I'm al ...

I'm new to this board so bear with me. Having been a MT forever it seems, I'm thinking of making a switch to coding. At one point I was even hired as an entry level coder, learning on the job, but when i position came open in transcription took that as it paid better. In hindsight wish I had stuck with the coding as then could have gone either or even both ways. My problem would be having to actually "go" to a school in person , but i would want something reputable, not som ...

Has anyone ever taken classes through Ritecode or utilized any of their training modules? I did a search here and can find nothing on them. They were also known as Restuccio Healthcare Group. Just curious, as it looks like you can take modules individually, paying as you go, rather than paying for an entire course at once. Thanks! ...

Any recommendations on good online coding classes? ...

I work full-time as an MT and take coding classes through a distance learning progam, I'm about half way through and have just started to learn coding; first inpatient, then outpatient. My MT job is good now, on-site with plenty of work and good pay, but we are moving to EPIC and VR and job cuts are imminent within the next year or so. I am thinking ahead to coding jobs, though, and recently applied for a medical records clericial position where a small amount of coding would be involv ...

When you get NJA and you wait the 15 minutes, how is that reflected on your pay check. I think I have not been paid for these for a while cause I never look at my pay stub. My fault I know, but I just want to be aware going forward and not sure what the entry for the pay is. ...

Do you have a flair for the English language? Are you at least proficient in English? How about good listening skills? Know anything at all about American culture or accents? GREAT! Just WALK IN off the streets of HYDERABAD and be a real live American medical transcriptionist. Don't know English, much less American English? THAT'S OK! We'll just train you, lickety-split! p.s. Typing and knowing how to ...

start my new job and eventually leave MModal after I dig out of my hole. I wished that when this all started back in October I would have started looking then. Oh well will be 2 jobbing it for awhile. I read some of the posts on MModal board lately and this company has people crazed with all the fighting and name calling going on. It is depressing. It should not matter if you are pro or con MModal we are all people. Gosh, with this company it could be fe ...
