Opinons regarding remote coding jobs

Any remote coders out there or is this a farce like the ads saying you can make $40,000 a year from home as an MT?? ...

I am an MT and am currently taking a coding/billing course and plan to take the CPC exam after completion. Does anyone know of any companies who hire newbies to work at home as coders? Any sites like MTstars that post coder jobs? I prefer to stay at home, but everything I'm seeing requires experience. Thanks for any help. ...

Hi. I am an RHIT, 17 years coding experience. Recently relocated to a remote community and now searching for a remote coding position. So many "companies'.......so overwhelming. Can anyone point me to a good reliable list of companies that hire remote coders? Any advice? ...

Are there any companies out there that hire specifically for remote coders. I saw a few and applied but have never heard back. I do have my CPC but I don't know if they are looking for anything in particular. I also have almost 18 years of billing/coding experience. Maybe the jobs are just rare. ...

I currently have a small IC MT account that I plan to support myself on while I get through coding school. This IC account is all done via encrypted email and can be done from anywhere I can get a wifi connection. I have worked on this job while visiting friends in Italy. It is a wonderful thing. My question is this: Are there opportunities for remote coders (maybe not in the beginning) than enable that freedom? I used to work remotely doing MT for a hospital ...

Has anyone ever heard of a company called Remote Medical Jobs? I've seen several medical transcriptionist job postings by this company over the past several months. ...

I am a MT/VR considering training for Coding/Billing and wondering how hard it is to get a remote coding job or if I would be limited to finding a position in an office, hospital, etc. I enjoy working from home, but in the past few years, just cannot make a decent living anymore. Thanks for any info you can give me. ...

Good morning everyone! I have searched the boards, but I wanted to see what opinions I could get right here. I received my certificate in MT in 2007. I worked for MQ right out of school, but left when things started getting ridiculous (60 different accounts a day). I then went to a small MTSO, but left there in 2008 when I was pregnant with my third child. I haven't worked as an MT since. I worked as an editor/proofreader for the last 3 years until the co ...

I've been tossing around the idea of going to school for coding. I researched jobs yesterday, though and I saw no jobs paying higher than $18/hr. For those of you working in the field, can you confirm or deny if you make more than that? I'm still pulling in $24-28 doing MT and am going to need at least that in a new job (I get that starting out I wouldn't get that, but I do have some experience in coding and would hope that would at least land me mid level). ...

I really need to get out of the MT profession. I am a newly single mom and am making less money as an MT than I was 5 years ago. I just cannot afford to do this anymore. I always see coding jobs posted at my local hospital. Do you think these jobs will be sent overseas just like transcription? I am thinking of going into nursing but don't know yet. What would be a good healthcare career to get into? ...

be better able to be done at home with the advent of EHR and easy access to the patients' charts remotely? ...

This is a question for coders. I am thinking about taking the coding course through Andrews school. I am just asking about the outlook for medical coding in the future. Have any coders out there lost their jobs due to it going to India or overseas or to any computerized program like Epic or Amazing Charts. I am just asking before I take the course through Andrews. I think there is a future in coding. Thank you for any replies. ...

in my area. A hospital here is offering a $5,000 sign-on bonus for a FT inpatient coder as well as for a PT DRG validation specialist. Just wondering if that is the norm or if, since this hospital isn't in the greatest area, they are having trouble finding people to work there. Any thoughts? ...

Do you have to use the mouse a lot? Would you consider it user friendly? Thanks in advance. ...

Once you learn coding, it's fun! I've done so many other jobs in my life that I can't even count them. I can't think of many that were actually fun, but I think coding is. ...

How plentiful are the jobs for coders and medical billers? Currently I am an MT but looking into other career options. Thanks! ...

Has anyone graduating from the Andrews coding course gotten jobs. I know how hard it is to get a job without prior experience. I am 61 and wondering if it is worth the expense and effort to take the couse. I have fifteen years of MT experience and also have worked in a hospital for years before that. Thanks. ...

I have to file bankruptcy in the next month or so. There's no way around that. I am also going to be starting a coding program. A lot of coding employers do a credit check. I guess I'll finish coding school in a year or so, so by that time, after building back up my credit, will the bankruptcy not matter so much to future employers? ...

I wanna switch to coding from transcription after 14 years. I do have an Associate degree in health information technology and know coding, DRGs, inpatient and outpatient, SNOMED and CPT codes, ICD9 and some computerized systems. I'd love to continue working at home. Right now I am an MT but wouled like to do something else. Us transcriptionists fear our supervisors calls, letters...we avoid email sometimes for fear of the dreadfull termination letters. Ready for bed now. I need to wo ...

Hi, I just received an offer that involves straight transcription on the ChartNet system. If any of you currently use this platform and would offer me your opinion on it, I would greatly appreciate it. Is is slow? Clunky? Are there are lot of screens to switch through? Do you have to enter patient demographics? Thanks so much in advance for taking the time to respond! ...

Hello, I am a MT and wanted to also do coding, could you please tell me how to search for jobs at home once I am done with school ?? Does anybody have a board for coder jobs thanks so much ...

We all learn from our mistakes. Some of us just take longer. After bumbling around for several years with HIT training, etc., it's time to get serious and go for a coding certificate. What a waste these past several years have been and still not even close to being prepared for a CCS or a job as a coder. Starting over again but doing it right this time. In order to get a coding job, you need that CCS. The rest was just filling in time and wasting money. ...

Yep, you read that right: Twitter. I have an account and just now I did a search at the top of the page, and you wouldn't believe all the results that came up, local results from different parts of the country posting coding jobs. It's great. So that's just FYI for y'all. ...

The people I know who will now be getting medical insurance will obviously now go to the doctor when they get sick. It makes sense to me that there will be more coding and more billing, right? That's a good thing for us I think. ...

Anybody having a lack of QA work? ...

I recently obtained my Certificate from a community college for Medical Transcription/Coding. I also work full time at our county mental health clinic, scheduling appointments for patients, answering telephones and transcribing reports for 3 psychiatrists (2 speaking in broken Indian dialect). I have submitted many resumes online to all types of transcription agencies and physician's offices. Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get a job as a remote transcriptionist and if you have any ...

I'm curious how many of you graduated from your medical coding/billing course and found a job to work remotely? I'm currently a transcriptionist looking to enroll in a coding/billing course, but will not be able to work onsite to gain experience that most of these companies are wanting. I've been doing some research and most of them want you to have 3 years onsite experience. I will need something remotely after graduation. I thought I would check here and ...
