I worked for a company that hired only RN's to do the coding part of billing for emergency physicians for 10 years. What part of the country are you in? I could give you a lead or two in California.

You can get coding certified as a CCS or CCS-P through AHIMA. It is possible to self-study for these exams and then take the exam.

The CCS-P or CCS are in demand these days.

How did you find your job coding ED accounts?

Coders have found jobs at this web site:

Years ago it was an ad in the newspaper. But I know that the company I worked for in So. California advertises in the nursing periodicals.

Did you become CCS or CCS-P certified to work for your company? Which one is in more demand? Can both jobs be done remotely? Thanks!

Coders have to be CCS and/or CCS-P certified to work for remote coding companies. The CCS is more in demand. Throughout the years, I have found that students successfully pass the CCS-P on the first attempt. With this one credential, they can then immediately apply for jobs. While they search for jobs, they study for the CCS. If they pass the CCS, great! If they do not pass the CCS, at least they have the CCS-P to list on their resumes in applying to remote coding jobs.

Coders with the CCS and the CCS-P can remotely work from home.

What other questions do you have?
