MY WORK FROM HOME EQUIPMENT | MEDICAL CODER (FULL-TIME)

[@MyManGot2Jobz]

I JUST GOT MY FIRST MEDICAL CODING JOB. NO EXPERIENCE, STILL IN SCHOOL FOR MY CPC. GOD IS SO GOOD! Thank you for inspiring my new career. Been with you since day 1!!!!

[@samanthasimoneau7722]

Who hired you? I have been applying for months. Congratulations!

[@lizrohena9391]

That's great! I'm still studying also. Any tips on employers that might hire future coders?

[@remixablecurly4593]

Yes congratulations..please let my know who’s hiring, I’ve also been applying??🙏🏾🔥

[@MyManGot2Jobz]

​​@@samanthasimoneau7722 I actually got hired through Native Health Services because I am part of the native American tribe I currently work for. I was initially in Medical records for 2-3 months and then applied for the Coding position and got it! I've been in there for over a year now and I am now CPC certified and currently working on my CPMA cert. I encourage all to apply EVERYWHERE!! EVEN IF THEY SAY THEY REQUIRE x AMT OF EXPERIENCE. APPLY ANYWAY. You never know where your luck may land.

I love watching your videos! I just started my coding class last week and I have watched one of your videos everyday!

[@crystalcarter3821]

Great video content, Shamyra. Ordered the bookstand. I have been meaning to get one for a while. Thanks for posting.

[@deannapuckett3583]

Hey girl! I love your videos!! Did you end up doing a give away of your old coding books? I'd love to have them & your extra notes!! Starting school January 9th 2023! ❤️

[@lovinlife4real626]

Great setup, so neat and clean. I will start my coding training next month. Thanks for the inspiration, you rock!!!

[@ShamyraC]

That’s awesome! Best of luck to you and thank you!

[@remixablecurly4593]

I know you said you’re no longer going to do medical coding and billing videos, but do you have any videos on how to use the HCPCS level two book? I really enjoy your content and will stay subscribed 🔥🔥🙌🏾

[@isasdance9049]

i would love to work from home omg

[@itsreeb]

I use dual monitors in office but on my remote days I thug it out with just my laptop lol. Love your setup, thinking about getting dual monitors at home to make my workflow more efficient. It really helps to have one monitor for reviewing documentation and the other to enter codes!! Thanks for sharing!

[@ShamyraC]

Yesss that used to be me working strictly from my personal laptop… I was so happy when they decided to give us dual monitors at home! It is so much better!! Thank you for watching!!

Hi. Does it really need two monitors with medical scribe job? What's the pros and cons. As I want to try working in this field. What's the difference between medical transcription to coding and scribe? Thank you very much ... Btw lovely organizers

Hello, hope you are doing well by the way thank you for ur time. I want to ask a question, actually I want to apply for medical coding job while I'm trying to register to the coding classes, is it going to be a problem for? Or should I need to search about coding topic online before applying for the job?

[@sylviam1196]

I just started school to become a medical billing specialist. So excited to learn and get into the field! I’m looking to set up my home office and first up is a better keyboard. Do you recommend a keyboard with numbers to the right? Or are the numbers at the top more efficient?

[@ShamyraC]

Definitely, keyboard with numbers to the right! that is a must! 😉

Hey I’m new here and Monday was my first day of class for “Medical Billing and Coding”. My school uses eBook but I am wanting to purchase the hard book. Do you mind telling me what books are needed for this program. And what year edition should I get? I take the exam 2022

I’ve done Hospitalists coding but that was strictly E&Ms only! OBGYN is my first surgical coding job.

[@dopeazchick]

Hello 🤗 Am I able to work from home straight out of school? How did you get the at home position. What is that title. Thank you

[@ShamyraC]

Hi 🤗 It depends on the employer. Some may have you start in the office before sending you home. My employer already allowed coders to work from home. Once I got my certification and became a coder I too got the same privilege. My current job title is: Coder III but I started as a Coder I. I went from a level 1 coder to a level 3.

[@sehoida]

did you do the giveaway?

[@karilynn7486]

Hi as a student my study guide doesn't tell me this... As a CPC coder, when I find a job will I code for CPT AND ICD 10 codes? Will my employer tell me if they want me to code for both sets or are coders just expected to code everything, even hcpcs codes too? Thank u I hope u can answer my newbie question!!!

[@ShamyraC]

Yes, coders report CPT, ICD-10, and sometimes HCPCS codes. You’ll want to be prepared to know how to code all three. You’re welcome & thank you for supporting my channel. 🧡

[@karilynn7486]

@@ShamyraC thank you, it's so awesome to have helpful videos like this

[@jadanichole1397]

Are you required to use the monitors that they provide or can you purchase and use your own?

[@ShamyraC]

It depends on the employer. Because of the software we use, we’re required to use 24” monitors. I never thought about buying separate monitors because the ones my job provided are pretty big.

[@karilynn7486]

I just got my set of spiral coding books delivered from AAPC , (CPT, ICD 10, HCPCS,) is it normal that my books have ENDLESS shredded white confetti falling out? I set them on my bed and white confetti stuck to my blanket. ugh. I actually tried vacuuming my books but STILL have confetti falling out, it's endless!

[@ShamyraC]

Yes!! It happens to ALL of us!! 😆😆 Welcome to the Coding World! lol It does go away after a good month as long as you’re using if often.. it’s because of the books being brand new and how they’re processed through the machines all the tiny white pieces from the pages get wrapped up in the plastic and fall out once you open your books.

[@karilynn7486]

@@ShamyraC thank you!!!! Im studying hard so my confetti should wear off soon then. Lol

[@lorettawhite2790]

Are any of your books in the background from 2020-2021?

What type of laptop do you recommend for this type of work?

do coders always have to use 2 computers i would love to how exactly how that works

[@ShamyraC]

@@brendawhiteside3785 no you don’t HAVE to work with 2 screens..

[@ShamyraC]

@@brendawhiteside3785 It’s pretty much like having one big screen but with two monitors. My mouse can travel back and forth from both monitors. You just have to have the split monitor cable (don’t know the proper name) but one cord with two separate ends that goes in the back of both monitors and the other end is a single adapter you plug into your computer/modem. The cord is similar to a splitter you would use for cable tv. Hope this is helpful 🤗
