Hey medical coding guy, I've just started down this path through AAPC a while ago and was wondering if there are ways to work international or while travelling somewhere down the line when enough experience is gained, and if so what the best way to accomplish this would be. Thank you and enjoying the vids!

[@themedicalcodingguy]

My suggestion is always have the certificate ready! so when the time comes someone look for a coder its going to be you!

[@greedfgc1830]

@@themedicalcodingguy gotcha! So do you mean I would have to work within the country I'm staying at or is it possible to work abroad from the US as a remote coder? I see a lot of mixed answers.
