I also went - through a coding course. sm Posted: Nov 24th, 2019 - 8:57 am In Reply to: Other (non-medical) transcription... - Still cranky, still on the beach
I did not finish the practicum. I did not like it either. I also looked at jobs on Indeed and found they were not paying that well unless I wanted to work for a medical coding/billing company only and I'd be stuck on a computer screen in a cubby-hole somewhere and still isolated only to make about 15 an hour if I was lucky. The only way I could make more money was to have at least 2 years of experience and every single credential associated with medical billing and coding. All I lost was a little time about a thousand, so now I sit with outdated coding books because they change every year. Didn't like it at all, felt like I'd have a headache no matter what with medical billing and coding. Too much work for too little money.
I was wondering if anyone does survey taking for extra money? I already have a full-time job that is non-medical and outside the home, but I'm looking to get out of MT for good. I do a small account for a company but there's never any work.
General transcription as far as insurance transcription doesn't pay very well and it makes me tense and my neck hurts and I can't stand trying to decipher what people are saying on a cell phone standing on a windy street corner.
