I am very interested in taking the classes for coding and billing. Has anyone taken the inpatient and outpatient classes that Career Step offers? If so, can you share any pros or cons about the program. I am also considering another online coding and billing course through Gatlin University, but I am not sure if they offer both inpatient and outpatient coding. Has anyone taken that program and can you share your pros and cons here too. Thank you :) ...

It took me until now to get a full-time job editing where I have enough work to keep me without NJA.

Hello! I am a fairly new MT (2 years experience) and I am currently doing IC work. I have been approached by a physician (that I used to work for as a medical assistant) to do her transcription for her as she has gone out on her own and has a private practice now.
