elena121 · Jan 2, 2009

hey everyone im planning to register for medical coding and billing in lincoln tech, NJ
the school says we`ll find you a job after u graduate here.. but my question is social security number..
im legal here but i dont have SSN# i have Tax Id .. the hospitals can sponsor me or they gonna make me a problem with SSN ? ?

You maybe want to take whatever the school will offer you..if any..which probably will be a position in doctors office.

I remember those schools which are business schools anyway let the staff tell us that as a coder we will earn up to 50 bucks per hr.I asked her why she teaches for 30 when she can go for the 50??

I'm a little lost. Meical billing and coding reps. can make $50 an hours. I looked at some job outlook and pay scale books and they say $35,000 a year.? Please explain. If I do not get into an acclerated nursing program. This is my last try in May. Maybe this could be an option. I have all of the prerequisites that most schools are looking for except Organic Chemistry. I just know that I want a job in the health care industry. I have physical pain due to an accident and I am wondering how much of the direct care nursing is lifting? I was thinking about working per-diem a few hours a week and then going into clinical research.

Thanks
