Any RNs doing Hospital Billing Audits?

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?

Thanks for the info, however, with my nursing degree, what is the best way to study for this. A class through AHIMA or self study? I have found that most jobs require 3-5 years experience before working remotely. How do you get a remote job without the experience?

I am interested in coding also and have started a self study program in coding. But I am concerned medical coding may soon be outsourced overseas, just like transcription. I googled Craigslist Medical Coder and there were legit medical coder positions open, as well as schools advertising to become a coder. But what scared me the most were several Craigslist ads like this one http://delhi.craigslist.co.in/hea/918601358.html and many others that were overseas and were recruitung medical coders as it was being outsourced...

Here is a US based company that is outsourcing its medical coding: http://www.globaledgeusa.com/why_outsource.htm

How do I send you a PM?
