What is having a degree in medical billing and coding like? (Associates)?
it could be good experience if you attend the right school....i have the diploma..but never put it to use..
Reply:Be careful with those schools that offer jobs after training. they could be a scam.
Reply:All you need is a simple training, you can only get a certificate. It's really simple, a single class that you take. You can try getting this in an adult school.
Reply:You don't need a degree for that, just a certificate of training.





It doesn't take an assocates degree to do medical billing and coding.

Way to be rude, girl. You aren't going to talk to anyone that knows what they are talking about, because they aren't going to say what you want to hear.





Like it or not, some of those online schools are a scam (agreed, some aren't). I've known 2 people that did medical billing and while they both had degrees, they weren't specifically for THAT. You don't need one to do that and those people make about $28k - 32k a year to start, so it is NOT a lot of money.





A specific degree in that alone is completely unnecessary and is a waste of YOUR time and money. Go ahead and get an assocates in business or something that is going to help you regardless of what you decide to do.





Sorry you are displeased, but maybe you need to do some checking before you spend your hard earned money on something unnecessary.
