If I may suggest, don't waste your time with the CCA, go for the CCS or higher level..You will get much more respect if you get the higher level certs vs. the entry level..My experience is like yours...Did very well in getting College Cert in Medical Coding...Monitored all hospitals in NY State for jobs to no avail...Checked the AHIMA website since I am a member..Kept on talking to Dept Head at college and he connected me with my only Coding position during Chemo coding..They only used me to catch up. They were a year behind in coding their Chemo charts..after a month i caught up, did some billing/Collections, and then they got a 12yr senior coder to do my job part time at night since the coding was reduced to only 2-3hrs a day once I caught up and was coding present Patient - Physician encounters |
