There is a definite advantage to being an MT and switching to coding. I found a course through an adult education course (excellent course and virtually free except for the books) and it was great. It is difficult and very technical, more than just assigning numbers to diagnoses but I liked it. The thing is, at least from where I am (So Cal), I would have had to take a huge cut in pay to take an entry level position, work into coding, apprentice, and then once certified, then the potential for earnings is there. Also, I think you really need to have a lot of experience before you can do it from home. I can't take any kind of step backwards in pay or I'd be pursuing it. Who knows, maybe I still will. I just want to alert everyone to check their adult education programs, ROP, and local colleges first before paying a lot for this education. Good luck! |
