Medical coding specialist P/T and from home?

Is it possible to work P/T and from home as a medical coding specialist?

Medical coding specialist P/T and from home?
yes it is..right now i do it part time from home plus my other work.
Reply:Yes. Medical coding jobs (and billing and transcription) on the website below.
Reply:I'm a CPC and a medical biller and coder, and it's been my experience that most of the online or work at home companies are not legit. Why should you have to pay to work at home??? Plus, think of all the HIPAA violations that would occur. Most, if not ALL, facilities have very strict rules about allowing patient information to leave that facility. Several of my coworkers have talked about working from home, and unless you have a lot of experience and your company allows you to do so, you won't find a legit job. I know of several people with at least 20 years of experience who cannot telecommute. I would look twice at anyone who offers remote coding jobs and do some web searches on that company. If they ask for money, it's bogus. A legit company would supply training, require a certification like a CPC, RHIT or RHIA, at the least, and would supply the programs you would work on. If you happen to find a real company that doesn't just take your money and ditch you, let me know- I could use a few extra bucks!!

  1. One of the reasons why a lot of people are getting medical billing and coding training is because of it's flexibility - people can either work in an office or at the comfort of their own homes.
