Would like medical coding course info

[Vonique]

Hello,

I just discovered this forum and I think it's great! I am an inactive RN for the last few years (I was a stay-at-home mom and took some time off) and now I really don't want to go back to bedside nursing, or any other kind, really. I feel that to get back into it at this point after almost 10 years would take a couple of refresher courses, and at age 51, I don't need the stress. However, I do love paperwork and working on the computer so I though medical coding would be just right for me. I took a transcription course last year, so I'm still up on my terminology and feel I probably wouldn't need that much training.

Does anyone know of a medical coding "bootcamp" where I could take just a couple or a few weeks to complete the training? Maybe an online course that would then prepare me to sit for the certification exam?

Any info would be very much appreciated!

Thank you,

Vonique
