Does anyone have a job in medical coding?

i am thinking of going to school for it and want to know how it is

Does anyone have a job in medical coding?
If you go to a community college you could get an Associates degree in Health Information Technology. When done with that, you take a test and get certified. These people most often work in a hospitals medical records department and start out at around $18-$20 and hour.





There are other courses around that give just a certificate in coding (not a degree). You could complete that much more quickly than a degree. With a certificate, you can get a job in a doctors office and probably make about $12-$14 and hour depending on the size of the doctors office.
Reply:like programming medical programs? im pretty sure theres a good demand for jobs like that. im sure it will be a great profession as long as you enjoy making programs even if their not that interesting.





good luck
