Yes they are! - I know for a fact

Posted: May 10th, 2022 - 11:49 am In Reply to: No, they are not. Not even close. This is not true. - sm

I was working as a coder back in 2020/2021, and the company I worked for was beginning to outsource work overseas when I left the company. I was under the impression that coding was not at risk of being outsourced like MT, but I'm sorry to say I was very wrong after spending time and $$$ on 2 coding certifications.

Don't believe me? AAPC even offers coding/billing classes in India. Enough said.
