Remote coding - bgecko

Posted: Jun 17, 2010

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?

Check the professional publications such as The Journal of AHIMA or Advance for Health Care. They have job listings in them all the time. Be sure to look at the ads throughout the mags and not just the specific "help wanted" type ads.

I check the AHIMA sites and others almost daily. I guess what I wanted was some personal input about companies coders had worked for. So many contract companies listed. Hoping to find one that is honest, treats coders fairly etc. Any great companies anyone has worked for?

I've always wondered about those companies too. - Linda Andrews

I've always wondered about those companies and which ones were good to work for. I've never known anyone who worked for any of them as far as I know. It's possible that some of our graduates have, but if they have, they haven't told me. I do have graduates that work as coders from home, but they work for hospitals.

I would love to know more.

I work for one of them and am contracted to a large hospital/teaching facility. Our company is in a transition phase right now and I am unsure of what direction we are headed in, but I do know people who have worked for some of the others and have yet to hear anyone say they got a bad deal. I have friends who work in the coding division for Amphion, for one, and all seem to like working for them. Let me see if I can recall some of the other company names.....

AMBA or AHIMA Website - Love2Code

I am constantly looking on AHIMA and AMBA websites for remote coding positions. They have LOTS of companies who are looking for experienced remote coders. HIPJobs is another website/company. You could also try on Monster jobs and Careerbuilder. With your experience, you should be able to find work in no time. Best wishes!

Great Tips! Not the OP but Thanks For Posting - I love this site!

This has to be the best coding site on the internet. Everyone is helpful and professional.

Are there any companies out there that hire specifically for remote coders. I saw a few and applied but have never heard back.

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 ...

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 ...

We all know the frustration in dictation where they don't use a pause button, how our salaries dwindle to nothing as a result. I noted an ad on the Job Seeker's Board to train to become a "remote scribe" for .07 to .08 CPL. Doesn't it seem this would also dwindle to nothing as it seems there would be far more waiting for data to enter and would take forever to complete a line if you are working in real time. Anyone have any info on how this would work? ...

I was browsing through the jobs board, and saw that Inscribe is hiring MTs and remote scribes. What is the difference? It says remote scribes input directly into EMR.

Does anyone know anything about this company? I sent my resume and got a response right away. It seems like they might be a 'head hunting' agency for transcription of different sorts. They want me to pay a one time fee of 75.00 to join and then have contact with all of their clients for jobs. I'm a little leery about them, so what does eveyone think? Any thoughts are appreciated - positive or negative..... Thanks! ...

Are employees working from home governed by federal minimum wage laws, or does it vary by state? Or does it not necessarily apply at all? In other words, is an MTSO obligated by law to pay a remote employee the minimum wage for their state, regardless of the number of lines or minutes of dictation produced? I work an 8-hour shift with a 30-minute break, i.e., 1 pm to 9:30 pm and 30 minutes of that is a break. If I can't make the line count minimum, am I guaranteed minimum wage f ...

They line count is very very high and I am struggling to make the lines. I even had an expander, ...

I am hoping someone is familiar with Medisoft program. I just obtained a position as a remote user for an office that uses Medisoft. Today is day one. There are two other remote transcriptionists. The way they are doing this is to transcribe the dictation in word and then cut and paste into the various sections in medisoft. They are able to cut and paste, no problem. I am unable to paste into the patient records from my Microsoft Word document. This ...
