It took me 3 years to get through it as I was working p/t and have 2 kids. I think I stretched the education out for so long, that I forgot the basics I learned from 2-3 years ago, plus I feel that I never fully grasped a lot of the info. Luckily I have the med terminology down as I’ve been a medical sonographer and vascular tech for 15 years.

They go to the ER, next thing they get a bill for the facility fee from hospital, another bill for the DR that saw them at the hospital, a separate lab bill, a separate pathology bill, etc etc...so when the patient pays to one place and get another bill they think they already paid it, and next thing you know their screaming and yelling at you. lol.

Is medical coding a good career to do from home as a stay at home parent/father? My wife and I will be having our first child and I want to work from home. We have already decided that I will be a stay at home parent but I'd also like to work. My only concern is as first time parents who live out of state away from our relatives , is how to manage the job with parenting. Could this be something that I can do in the evenings when my wife is home, or do I need many hours to complete the task? Is part time online work common in this field? All in all, I am trying to gain an honest understanding of the rigor and the demands in this field in the context of working from home.

[@codemastercoach6636]

Medical coding is a work from home job in most organizations. There are PRN, Part-time, and Full-Time positions in medical coding. So, you should be able to find a time convenient for you. The recommendation is a child at least 12 years old at home to be able to work from home without distractions. However, I know many moms that have little ones at home while they work. You will just have to make it work for you.

I just found your video. I'll be sure to subscribe. I have been in Healthcare Revenue Cycle (Payment Posting, Data Entry, Credit Balances, Accounts Receivable, etc...) for the past 10 years, and I've been seriously considering getting into Coding, because I want to broaden my horizons. Although I am familiar with CPT & Dx as well as constant changes within the industry, I still think it's best to adapt & grow your skillset. So, thanks for starting this channel.

[@codemastercoach6636]

You are so welcome!

[@janellestewart2818]

Thank you for a detailed explanation of coding. I currently work in Revenue Reimbursement for Radiology and have hands-on experience. I am currently taking billing/coding class &just came across your channel I must say I’m more confident about taking the test than I was before hand. You’ve definitely gained a follower for sure. :)

Thank you SO MUCH for these videos! I am a new coding student, doing an online program and I need more than just reading and following a manual! With your instruction, I get a full understanding! I'm grateful!

You are welcome!

[@ladystirlingknight2406]

You’re amazing! Thank you! I am considering medical coding as my career path and wanted to know more about what it’s like and this really helped me. I’m going to watch more videos and see what else I can learn about the schooling process. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

[@codemastercoach6636]

Your welcome Lady Stirling Knight.

[@AnneMarieVoegeli]

I am SO HAPPY I found you!!! I'm enrolled in an online medical coding school and this past week we had our first actual coding assignments. After doing them, I'm feeling a bit unsteady, but determined to learn it. I was searching to see if there was someone who showed how it's done by extracting the proper terms for coding. I already learned from this video about cpt, which I had no clue about since I only have the ICD-10-CM book currently. THANK YOU for making these videos!!!!!!

[@codemastercoach6636]

You are so welcome Anne Marie Voegeli.

[@MaryAllenjj]

When I was in school I was learning ICD 9. A year before ICD 10 came out my instructor already had ICD 10 books and asked to borrow one of them. I studied those codes and already know how much more in detail those codes are from ICD 9. There is a big difference.

[@codemastercoach6636]

I agree Mary Allen.

[@sprydo7113]

Thank you very much...Ms. This video is so helpful. As an employee working in the healthcare accounting department not only to paying to vendors but, always wanted to learn about the processes for in which doctors are paid as well. This is perfect !! Thank you for sharing this video..Ms.

[@codemastercoach6636]

Excellent! So glad to hear that Syed Farhan Bukhari.

[@brendarodrigues3046]

Wonderfully expressed! It can be a bit of a challenge when you are more knowledgeable about a subject but need to express it in a manner that is beginners friendly. The bread example was a good analysis. It's definitely something your followers could identify, relate or visualize. I've been in medical for such a long time and accepted positions in the hopes of one day perfecting and/or becoming a strong, reliable medical coder. I obtained a 2-year degree from an accredited HIM program but due to children, age maturity, financial obligation and not being able to network or sell myself properly during the interview phase I have struggled to cross over from front and back office staff to coding. I've accepted positions in managed care, referrals, physician office, hospital, insurance, etc all in an attempt to be well rounded and fully skilled in my field of study. Granted I have not yet obtained a license in RHIT. I didn't realize wanting the experience in other departments would make it so difficult to get to where I was striving. Employers see my employment history and automatically want to use me in those areas all the while I'm yearning to reach my destination of coding. If I can give any advice on this outlet to bless another it would be to push hard for what you truly want and don't accept no as an answer. If your value is not seen initially.... move. Do Not waste any more of your time hoping someone will quote on quote rescue you, take a chance or see your potential. You have to exhibit courage and not make excuses for what you truly want. Go get it! This channel is a great start. God Bless. - Inspiration By B

[@allisonmiller8743]

My goal is to obtain my Healthcare Administration degree. I have enjoyed your videos and I hope to get the tools I need to become either a medical coder, or patient registration. I have applied at so many clinics, hospitals, etc. No one will accept someone who has no experience working in a medical environment. It is so frustrating! So thank you for taking this time out to share your knowledge so I can finally work in this field.

[@codemastercoach6636]

Your welcome Allison Miller.

[@jenn1730]

I was so excited to find your videos. I've been trying to do this myself as an online course and it's very difficult without the knowledge base of somebody who has experience to refer to. I'm currently only on your third video but I'm hoping that you will continue on with your channel because you have amazing knowledge and information
