A Day in the Life of a Medical Coder | New Job, New Beginnings 😌

[@angieu864]

I’m so happy you stayed doing medical coding. I’m a Risk Adjustment Compliance Auditor fully remote , work for another state that pays better. Honestly best career I’ve ever had ❤

[@Ms.Laquita]

I can't see myself doing any other coding over RA. I'm so happy you're enjoying your career!

[@aliciataylor3499]

Is it true what people say? Is it hard to get a job in coding

[@Ms.Laquita]

It's hard to get a job in any career w/o experience.

[@aliciataylor3499]

@@Ms.Laquita what about once you get experience?

[@LadyJ.T]

I’m just starting out as a MC as a second career in my 40’s. Any tips? Also how long would it take to get the knowledge to be a RA? Tia

[@latoyawilliams745]

CONGRATS 🎊🎉 I just graduated with my Associates Degree from medical Billing and Coding… Please pray that I grasp onto everything that I need to know once I step foot in this field!!

[@LadyJ.T]

Wow I love the fact that you said GOD put you there! I feel that! 🙏🏼

[@iamshe3275]

Im glad you're sticking around in RA! Im proud of you. I love your ambition. You are so intelligent and encouraging. I really like RA coding. Im in a new role. This is only the 2nd company i worked for, and let me tell you, I jumped so much in one friggn year with regard to salary. Im still learning and growing, and i hope to start working on entering into the CDI side of things.

[@Ms.Laquita]

You have been so supportive. I'm so happy your salary jumped 🙂. I feel like I would love CDI too. I feel I could make a major impact on helping providers improve their documentation. Please update me if you transition to CDI. I would love to know how it's going for you.

[@iamshe3275]

Thank you😊, I sure will keep you updated on my next endeavor.

[@ariivega7387]

Congratulations on your new journey! I’m so happy you’re back to the coding life! I know you’re going to do amazing in your new role. God bless you and thank you for inspiring us in every way. I’ve been following you for quite a long time and missed your coding videos. ❤

[@Ms.Laquita]

Thank you so much. Yes, I'm still here living the RA life.

[@staceygoodson1898]

Yaaay im glad you are still in the coding/auditor sector!! You give me motivation to finish my H.I.T program and to get a great paying remote career.

[@KaiteB]

Great presentation! So happy we will get to continue to see you in the medical coding space a little while longer. You truly are inspiring to myself and so many others! Just passed my CPC exam in July and I’m so excited to start my own journey. You are a constant reminder that it is possible!

[@Ms.Laquita]

I'm glad you enjoyed my presentation! It's definitely possible if you keep trying.

[@simplybeingesha176]

Coming to your channel always leaves me feeling like I can do it. Seeing your journey has really inspired me to stay the course on my medical coding journey. Congratulations on your new role🎉🎉

Thank you ❤️

You are so inspirational! I’m in my late 30s doing a career change and am super interested in getting into medical coding from corporate medical insurance and videos like this make me feel like I’m doing the right thing! Thank you for this great video and the others you have posted ❤

Yes ma'am!! Congratulations on your promotion! You inspired me to look into tech. God is definitely using you to inspire others. Keep going, God bless!

[@Ms.Laquita]

Thank you so much!! Please keep me posted on your journey into tech. I bet you already know this...Tech sales is a quick way in if you don't mind code calling.

[@atWorkDesk]

Congratulations.. that was a great presentation, im a student for risk adjustment, because its new to me im everywhere, but i like your journey, and im following... good luck with everything

[@Ms.Laquita]

Thank you! I'm definitely planning to do more presentations to increase my skillset. I'm very happy I'm in the RA sector. Can't see myself doing anything else in coding over RA.

[@trece7952]

Congratulations, you sound very passionate about this path you on I say stick with it!

[@Ms.Laquita]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ That means a lot 😊

[@Mimi-hn6iv]

Ms. Laquuta, I honestly was concerned for you trying to break into tech in this job market. Tech is not being kind to people at the moment, with layoffs and such. I truly believe God gave you the perfect opportunity in His perfect timing! Selfishly, I also love the thought of you continuing to make coding videos because I very much enjoy them!

[@Ms.Laquita]

Lol, yep I'm still here coding away. His thoughts and ways are far above mine! I'm happy where I'm at too. God is so good.

[@mercrn1995]

Enjoyed your presentation. Thank you. :)

[@kekethoompson7378]

Maam !!!! I just saw you presentation... and baaaaaa be! You were absolutely awesome. I thought the video was a great overview. It was clear and concise. That presentation gave me the impression that you were seasoned professional. I don't know you but for reasons I wont mention you made me proud. I appreciate you for giving God the glory. I am looking for a remote job and now you have peaked my interest in being a medical coder. Lastly, I like how you didn't mention your employer yet you still gave some nuggets on how to get good pay. Thank you and be Blessed!

[@Ms.Laquita]

You're so welcome. I'm super happy you enjoyed the presentation. Without my Father in Heaven, I'm absolutely nothing!

[@BD-ws2xw]

Amen glory to God !may he open the door for me too as a new medical coder. Lord make a way

[@Ms.Laquita]

When I say "praying for you", I really do pray. I'm gonna send one up for you 🩷. May you find a role that's not stressful with great pay!

[@BD-ws2xw]

@@Ms.Laquita thank you so much .prayers are everything I have 2 job interviews tomorrow at 8 and 2 I really want the 8 am it’s for claims coding specialist and charge master analyst positions.I have my RHIT and coding certification and I have had interviews but the no experience has caused to say no. I do pray for not a stressful job. But I do ask the Lord to make this dream happen for me. Only he can make a way and he truly can glorify himself in this. Like Lord this is all you and if asked I would give him all the glory

[@BD-ws2xw]

Thank you 🤗

[@radhikaraj7394]

Its crazy because I worked for a big hospital in California doing RA medical record processing and then I graduated College, but am not happy with my current status and have been thinking about learning more about the coding industry because I love the remote hybrid positions I see online and I remember working next to coders when I worked in the Medical Records office. Hmmm thanks for this God put me here to learn more!!!❤🎉

[@Ms.Laquita]

Yes, he did. My Elohim is awesome!

[@radhikaraj7394]

😊🎉

[@radhikaraj7394]

Can I ask, if someone like me is new to the industry… what would be the most common coding certifications? Would it be the CPC? I know it depends where you live and where youre planning to work but I see some RHIT associates degrees on Indeed too so I just have no clue. I come from the social services world and am new to this and wanna explore it more!

Congrats on the new job, i just started my job as a hcc coder, and i still struggle with everything. Like literally would love to see u make more vlogs like hcc scenarios specially on complex dx. God bless u ❤

[@Ms.Laquita]

God bless you too. I have a video coming up on HCC Coding. I don't feel it's really complex because most who watch are new. I felt it made sense for me to start soft and go from there to more complexity.

[@shaundrell6370]

Great video! I am so happy to see the updated version of your desk setup, Can you link the desk from where you got it? I😍 greatly appreciated it!

[@Ms.Laquita]

I got it from Nebraska Furniture Mart. They don't have it listed online, but it's on display.

[@tiffanydavis1377]

Congratulations 🎉 on your new career! I wish I could land me a risk adjustment position . I had my CPC-A going on three years and still no luck due to no coding experience.

[@shannonpuckett6604]

Do you recommend online training programs such as CCO or Preppy or just trying to study from AAPC book? I’m wanting to get started ASAP!!

[@Ms.Laquita]

There are various online platforms offering medical coding courses that have gained positive recognition. It’s essential to research thoroughly, consider reviews, course offerings, accreditation, and potential job placement assistance before choosing a program. Some individuals also utilize community college programs. I can't personally endorse any courses. I didn't take a course. I learned my knowledge on the job.

[@sherita9015]

This is honestly my dream job I have healthcare and pharmacy customer service experience But have noticed most coding requires experience anyone can provide first step or school to attend Please advise Thanks in advance

Risk Adjustment...🙂 It's a specialty coding. It's still coding just done from a different perspective.
