I've been enjoying your videos in my struggle for employment in medical coding. Unfortunately or fortunately my path has strayed.... I have not worked in a medical office for ten years and I went for my CPC-A. Not too hard really. I thought this would demonstrate my ability to learn, my knowledge of A & P and medical terminology. I applied for nineteen entry level medical office positions and was called back for none of them. The area where I'm job hunting prefers EHR experience or college. Not being to thrilled about the idea of paying for two years of college to get a clerical position, and slightly desperate for employment with benefits, I took a CNA (certified nurse aide) course. I was hired to the first CNA position I applied for. Hooray. I'm now making more money than a clerk and they will reimburse my tuition if I decide to go college to be an RN. Not bad. I am still very much interested in coding and if I ever move somewhere where working remotely is preferable to driving (like Vermont in winter) I will definitely go back to coding. Thank you for sharing your journey and ideas with us. You gave me plenty to think about. I wish you best of luck in whatever path you choose.
Great explanation! I am an HIM program Director and am often asked what Health Information Technicians do. I will be directing students to your channel.
Thank you, Kate! A very informative overview. I think this is the direction I will be headed when the time comes and we have to change duty stations, probably before the end of the year.
I love this video! This explains exactly what I want to do in the medical field. I am just starting my Associates degree program in HIM. I will be watching all your past and future videos! Notifications is set and on! Im so excited! Thank you for making this understandable and relatable
Thank you, Kate, this was a gold video for me, two months ago I started working for a law firm as a Facility Specialist I am calling every day to obtain Medical records at different facilities but suffice it to say that I am very far away from being a specialist, previous to this job I didn't know that it was something called Medical Records, I believe I will be consuming all your videos to get a better idea of what the different type of records are and I guess I will learn a lot about all of the jargon used in this field. On my first day, I called a facility and I said Hey! My name is .... and I need to send a medical records request to your facility and I would like to have the fax number to send the request, then she asked ....... sure .. what kind of records? and I was like ......... listen!..... it is my first day in here so......... why don't you send me aaaaalllll the records?......
@Tropical Beauty340 I actually decided not to go to school because I learned my tuition wouldn't cover it . But If I had for my situation i would gotten the degree . I hope this helps 😇
Thank you so much Kate for your information right now I'm in school studying for my certification for medical billing and coding through aapc this is helping me a lot cuz I might think of going and some other directions so thank you for your videos are helping me out a lot
Hey Kate! Hope you’ve been well! I’ve been watching your videos and they have been quiet informative. Thank you! I’m about to start my Associates degree program in HIM - very excited. Haven’t seen you post any new videos lately ... would love to see and hear how things have been for you career wise ... take care :)
Pretty much covered almost for the beginner associate in awesome way I believe, I appreciate that! I would really like to learn more in detail with documentations for referral, Evaluations, CMS 485, F2F encounters, discharge summary, transfers.
This was a great video and through description of what a medical records career is. I was a medical biller for 8 years and did not have a medical records background. If I had my medical billing learning curve have been much easier.
Wow! Thank you VERY much for your thorough explanation!! I'm sure you are very knowledgeable and impressive at job interviews. I'd have hired you without a second thought as a coder. No long agonizing wait required. 😁
Good video what would you recommend a new grad bachelor of science in Health information management? I am about to take my RHIA what are good jobs to look for after getting my rhia? What are good starter rhia jobs?
Hello kate❤ new subsciber here and I love your information on a medical office/ records clerks position. I am in the medical office administration program and looking to gravitate towards this career field. I also want to get certifications in medical coding and billing through the AAPC.
Im 21, and I work in retail right now and am looking for something completely different for my life and i am interested in this career. Would this be something that I should put in a application for? Even though I have no previous experience in anything remotely like this. Im a fast learner and a hard worker. Im just wondering if someone like me can do something like this. Or if I would be unqualified for this position without schooling or previous experience.
Informative video! I wonder if this is a good career choice for me if I speak English as a secondary language? I am registered nurse and my English skills are alright but it might not be as good and accurate as that of a native speaker, do you have colleagues who are non-native speakers? Would appreciate any inputs:)
I've worked doing some of this. What do you recommend I need to get a job in the hospital? Like what school or training do I need? I've been applying for this position and keep getting turned down.
I am currently going back to school for my Rhit Degree on 2021 and looking for a job in this career are there hospitals that offer on the job training to gain experience while in school

Hi!
Can medical coders work as a EHR OR EMR technician or it required special certification?
Hi, Kate. Would I use any statistics in health information technology?
Thanks!
What is the name of your facility and where is it located
how many sites do you have in your hospital?
I would like to know about HIM can you please tell me something in brief?
Madam recently I got a CPC certification so want to do the job in USA is it any chance to get job opportunities!?
You’d have to look at job websites in the US, I personally can’t help you with that
