I'm not aware of a board for coder jobs. I think the best thing to do would be to check the job listings in your area and get your name on the list for the "future openings" through the websites of the health care facilities where you would like to work. You might also consider a student membership in one of the coding organizations (AAPC, AHIMA) to gain access to their job boards. Attending local chapter meetings would be another way to find out what is happening with jobs in your area. As a new coder, you may want to reconsider working at home for your first job and set your sights on something on-site. I'm a student just beginning my coding modules; it's pretty complex and there is a lot that you need to know. Being on your own at home might prove to be pretty daunting for a new coder. Good luck with your research.

There are job boards on AHIMA, AAPC, AMBA, and if you search for Medical Billing and location on Careerbuilder, you will pull up jobs. Also, on Indeed.com, if you search for coder or remote coder, it pulls up jobs.
HIPJOBS.NET is another good source for coding jobs.
I think there are a few more out there. You just have to know where to look. If you are a member of AAPC or AHIMA and you network with other members, they should be able to help you find work also.
Best wishes.

Is There A Search Engine That Searches Just Medical Sites? Feb 23, 2011I am not sure what's going on of late, but I don't seem to get relevant search results when I use G.

Needless to say, I've been losing money spending so much more time researching words. Sometimes, I just wonder if I could have access to a medical search engine to cut out the non-medical stuff.

Re: Jobs One Can Do At Home, Aside From MT! Aug 05, 2012I'm looking for a new job and check on the Craigslist job listings from time to time.

I haven't found the right job, so far; but I have gotten a few interviews, so it's a viable option if you're careful.
