Been working from home for a while now. Worked for Hospitals and billing offices for years and don't miss that setting. No office dramas, rumor mills, finger pointing, nepotism, etc. No distractions!!
Hey. I was wondering with the level of experience that you have would you consider offering personal tutoring to someone interested in getting more work experience?
You are 100% accurate and very articulate. I love your channel. By the way, I am a medical coder with the county hospital in CA and I work remotely. I love my job, I went back to school after working 23 years as a lab technician. I’m so glad I did.
Hi Angie 👋. I've wondered about working in lab, how was that for you? How was the pay? Any info or advice ? Thank you so much! I'm on a search of what to go to school for.
I love love love your channel!!! I interviewed today as a brand new certified coder in a billing coding position that serves multiple clinics!! I feel good about the interview! I will know by Friday!!
I am a physician and I am 30...I just saw ur profile pic and I would like to get in touch with u...it might not be the right place to ask u for this but since I don't have ur contact I would like u to contact me if possible....my whatsapp...00923175589291...waiting for ur response
I've been going back and forth whether to do this. I think I'm going to continue to pursue an associates degree in HIM with coding classes. Great video
I'm glad I found this as well. Thank you for your videos! I'm coming from a long career in massage and bodywork dotted with some years managing PT offices/submitting treatment codes to insurance/using an encoder. Hyper aware of the yearly changes! Studied diagnosis codes from dating a lazy psychotherapist who I typed all treatment notes for...I received clinical medical training in high school (in the 90s) including terminology, etc. All I need is a quick *review* of Anatomy/Physiology and Medical Terminology (textbooks I already own), then some ICD-10-CPT-HCPCS coding courses and I could probaby pass the CPC exam easily. Interpreting case notes isn't hard for me. Nor is being a manager in a medical setting. :-) Thanks again!
Up? Be interested in learning how well you do on your test without taking the structured 3899.00 and up coding curriculum online. I am tempted to try to pass the test without the large outpouring of money...I'm a former Nurse,and taught a&p
I have medical background as well and was trained in the late 1990s in medical offices. I am very interested in advancing and upgrading my skills in medical billing/transcription.
I just started medical billing and coding and I'm glad I found your channel for more clarification on what to expect after being unsure if this is the career for me, but after watching your channel I'm more confident and ready for the journey.
Awesome video! I graduate from UMA in July as a Billing & Coding Specialist so this video got me excited! Question tho.. do they train you or expect you to be an expert right away? I'm nervous I'll forget EVERYTHING I learned lol
Hi! Very helpful video. Question, how do you keep up with all your follow ups? I feel like I have so many things going on at the same time and I can't keep up with them.
Miss Victoria, If possible could you give a thumbnail guesstimate of the number of productive hours you would expect to put in per remote day (eliminating "Dance time" and "Interrupt times" (for various misc reasons)! And to make things quantitatively complete, a SWAG (that's a Scientific Wild A** Guess) on the number of completed patient files are done during the fore mentioned time spent. Please note that I am not yet even employed as a novice coder, but I do appreciate your approach to your craft and your methods in trying to satisfy your expected goals. I am a follower and I thankew! - - - gr
Thank you such much for the awesome comment!! I definitely work 8-9 hours a day so usually a typical 40-45 hours work week plus lots of extra on the side making UA-cam videos and webinars and stuff. :)
@@ContempoCoding hi I'm interested in being a remote medical billing and coder I plan to start the certificate program soon is it possible to be remotely with a certificate or do I need a degree I live in NYC I just found your channel.
Hello Are you looking for a high demand jobs in medical coding Then learn ED and E/M department Check the below link to know more about it ua-cam.com/video/V94sBHjxto8/v-deo.html
Hi, working remotely, are we able to travel while doing it? My husband travels a lot for work and we'd like to do it together (travel). Is that possible?
I'm mostly listening on desktop these days to be honest! I listen to mostly Alpha Coding Podcast and Not Elsewhere Classified these days. Sonal Patel also has a great podcast called Paint the Medical Picture.
Hi from Canada ! Q: are you paid salary, hourly or piece work (commission) ? Q: what is the typical work load, various, busy, overly busy (you can't seem to complete in 8hrs and have to carry over) Q: International, would I be able to get certified AACP and work for a USA company, while still living in Canada? Thanks so much !
Where can I get the Scorecards you mention? And what is the coding program that can guide you through coding a procedure? Your example was, “ gallbladder, excise.,..”
Balancing a career in medical billing and coding as a stay-at-home mom, especially while homeschooling one child and breastfeeding another, is indeed a challenge. It's important to remember that this field requires high levels of concentration and accuracy, and most employers expect consistent productivity, and often do not allow employees to be tending to others during work hours. However, with a dedicated workspace, a well-planned routine, possibly flexible working hours, and some support during your busiest hours, it can be manageable. It's all about finding a balance that allows you to fulfill your professional responsibilities without compromising the care and attention your children need. Open communication with your employer about your situation can also lead to finding a mutually beneficial arrangement. Best of luck in finding the right balance for your family and career!
7:34 You mentioned accuracy and productivity meetings 1on1. So for productivity what is the typical chart/code per hour usually look like? I have anxiety issues and im trying to gauge the expectations...
Can you recommend any specific pc or laptop for medical coding, or even mac book laptop is ok for medical coding or else any tablet pc will be fine for medical , if not can you recommend any perfect laptop versions or brand for medical coding jobwork from home
Can you provide any insight into background checks to get into this field? I am very interested in this and want to start schooling asap but in my teens and early 20s I had a bad drug problem and racked up over 15 misdemeanors lol. I changed my life around 100% 12 years ago. just don't want to complete the course and get denied certification like I did when I completed real estate school. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated! Great video by the way! 👍
I work as a medical coder/biller for a surgeons office mon-fri 8-5 is there an online company you recommend I could apply to work remotely for part time
if i got a CCA at online college, do you think it would be possible to pass the test and immediately get a PT job from home getting my first medical coding experiences?
Can you post a list of the coding stuff you use? I'm new to coding and I'm about finished with school and I want to make sure I have everything I need. 🥰
This was great, I have been researching "free online cpt coding practice test" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Penailey TelepathicPrincipality - (do a google search ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to passing the AAPC exam for Certified Professional Coder minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.
When going through AAPC did you have prior knowledge to terminology, anatomy, and physiology or did you do the additional courses? And if you did, did they teach you everything you needed to know?
You will have to get a degree from a school that the certifying organization recognizes to be able to sit for certifications that hospitals and physicians will recognize. Then you find that employers will require certifications that take at least an Associate's degree in Health Information Technology AND 3 years if experience. Which means after going to school and paying hundreds of dollars to sit for each certification exam, you will getting an entry level job that doesn't require anything but a high school diploma to get your foot in the door and hope that one day your boss will let you move up to coding. To work from home as a coder you will need 3 years of coding experience at a hospital to get hired. AHIMA is the main certifying organization. Go to their site and look at the different certifications and what they require to sit for the exam. Go to hospital websites, search their job banks for coding jobs and see what they require. You might see some that say they only require a high school diploma, but you have to have more than that to get the certifications they require. You will HAVE to have classes in Anatomy & Physiology, Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, Medical Terminology and several computer classes just to give you and idea. Not to mention statistics, management, law and so much more.
Hi! I’m looking into getting in this field and I have a few questions. What do you find enjoyable and what do you find to be most difficult in medical billing and coding? How do you maintain 95% accuracy in coding? I feel like the hourly productivity goal would give me anxiety 😥 I burned up money getting my masters in psychology (lol) & I’m trying to find other career paths more suitable for me.
Sherece hello 👋, I've always been very interested in psychology, I enjoy learning everything psychology. I'm wondering what is the downside of getting ur masters in it? What are the negatives that u are finding with getting this degree? Thank you so much
I know what you mean so I work in Auditing and HCC coding. Auditing- things have already been coded but usually sent back for corrections like an investigation lol. HCC coding or Risk Adjustment deals with connecting a signal diagnosis for each encounter and if it's not there or a connection can not be made then we would have to query the provider. I know this comment was a while ago but spoke to me as a coder feeling the same thing many years ago.
@@nathaliaj2070 It really depends on your end goal. A masters in general psych may be too broad and not specialized enough for certain careers. If you find a specialized field you like you typically will need to go back to school to get certified. The masters can be a huge plus if you’re trying to do something like public speaking or if you want to go on to do your Phd. But after I did my masters in psych I discovered I liked working in ABA. I only needed a bachelors for the position I held in that field. However, to become a BCBA I would be a good candidate because I would only need to do 1 year of schooling bc I already had a masters. Long winded but it really depends.
I'm looking to start schooling for this in a couple weeks but I had a few questions! Do you have to call patients regarding outstanding bills? If so do they provide a secure way to contact them? Do you have to call insurance companies? Does the job provide you with a secure laptop or all the programs/resources required to do your job or is this something you will have to pay for out of pocket? Thank you!
This was a great video! Thank you for sharing this info with us :). Is this a job that could work for a stay at home mom? I homeschool my 3 kids and am looking for a part time way to earn money from home. Thanks in advance!
It's hard to get a remote job right off the bat, and even harder to do so part time. Most places want a few years of experience before allowing coders to work from home.
Hi Victoria I really appreciate you and your videos we really need you out here. I need to start working from home now I’m a Orthopedic Coder for a major hospital here in the Midwest.
My gf nudged me into getting started with medical coding during the pandemic. I was laid off, so I used and have been using the extra time to getting a huge head start. It’s a lot of fun, and I hope I can eventually make a new career out of it. You recently put out the e&m coding tips and when I first started working with that area your vids weren’t out, yet. So I am glad you have uploaded them. Maybe at some point you could make some vids wherein you go through e&m scenarios? I know it’s one of the most difficult areas of the coding job
Contempo Coding yes I have, but for me, e&m is still tough, and I think one or two case scenarios would be helpful. Maybe down the road when you are short on content ideas, you could make a couple. I struggle with the medical decision making process.
Since you don't have to go to a physical location and can work from anywhere with wifi, do you feel "freer" as a medical coder? As a HIT, I struggle with having to wake up at 4:30 every morning to go to the same location everyday and do the same thing over & over lol. I'm considering coding because even though I will do the same thing every day, I will at least be in the comfort of my home
Thanks for your video! I've been an occupational therapist for about 34 years, dealt with CPT codes (for rehab) and ICD-10 (and earlier) codes, reading of patient medical charts, as well as studied anatomy and physiology. I'm interested in working from home as a medical coder. Based on my health care experience, do you think this would be a natural step for a remote worker in the field of coding? Thanks so much!
I'm very curious about how flexible the scheduling is with this kind of work, and I can't seem to find any good resources online. Are you on their schedule, like a 9-5? Or, is this a career path for someone who likes to be up late into the night?
I really wanna have a job where I can work from home!!!! At first I wanted to get my bachelors degree in actuarial science but schooling for 4 years is very expensive and takes longer so i am considering getting my associates degree in HIT and hopefully be able to do remote work and even though they might not make as much as an actuary does it is still really good pay but this way i can jumpstart my dream of living remotely and buying some property mortgage free and do the FIRE movement
Hi, I am about to complete school for medical coding and I'm not very confident in myself when it comes to taking the exam. Do you have any suggestions on how to study and become proficient at coding before taking the certification exam?
Do you have a video about how you went about getting your first coding job working from home? I'm an RN currently in school for medical coding, I finish soon and just want to know what to expect.
Hi Betty.... Im an RN thinking about getting into the medical coding field. Did you complete the medical coding course? Looking for opinions from another RN.
Great video! I currently work in registration for a hospital, I just finished my schooling and am scheduled for my CPC exam. What advice would you give me?
Hello Are you looking for a high demand jobs in medical coding Then learn ED and E/M department Check the below link to know more about it ua-cam.com/video/V94sBHjxto8/v-deo.html
J8da Hood depends, one or so, depending on your level of medical anatomy and terminology.. Miss "Influencer" is pimping a particular prog. But, there are programs offered by the actual certification groups you will be joining.
I’m taking my cpc soon! I’m so excited! My goal is to work from home. Do you think that is attainable when you are fresh out of school? Or should I start in a hospital or dr office somewhere? Love ur channel btw ❤️
Attainable for sure. Not always easy, but it is possible. I would say the bulk of coders start out working wherever they can within the revenue cycle of a healthcare institution or billing/coding company.
@@ContempoCoding thank you! 🙏🏻 I just recently passed my NCCT certification test for insurance and coding specialist. Would you recommend me going thru AAPC for my CPC since I want to do coding more than the insurance aspect?
I’m gonna tell you now, before I watch this lol, that I’m in school for it and I’m failing horribly I feel. I’m lost, I’m stuck, and about a million other things and I’m at my wits end. It literally makes me feel like I’m too stupid to do this. I’ll add edits as I watch lol Edits: *Watching this makes me realize I went into debt for nothing. I literally can’t do this job. 😔 *Everyone else is excited and I’m overwhelmed *I was lead to believe that I could do this from home from the start. Instead I’ve learned that it’s not as possible as I was told. *Still realizes I can’t do this and I’m overwhelmed. *I have vertigo as well so that’s good to know. Sorry if it comes across negative. I’m spiraling 😔🥺😩😭
I did a medical billing and coding course through Texas Tech provided by ed2go, I did awesome going through the course but now that I'm studying for the certification exam I feel totally defeated. I feel ignorant and as if i really didn't learn anything. I'm just not understanding. Honestly i feel like I've wasted over a year of my life trying to do this.
Good morning......I am looking for remote Work....how I get job in medical coding? I don't have certification or no experience in medical coding......but I have customer service experience
If you are using an encoder do you check the codes it gives against the books, or do you trust it completely? I’ve heard the software is not always accurate.
Hi Victoria, I have been watching your videos for 2 days now, listening to various stories and information about the coding journey. I am overly impressed with you and your workload and dedication. I am starting an excelerated, 12-week medical coding class that I am terrified to take on now. I was very excited and eager to take this on but I keep hearing SO MUCH about how this is not a piece of cake, its a lot of work, there is lots of reading, you have to be ready for these multiple thick books etc. And I don't hear much that excites me about the job. - Don't get me wrong, I'm no stranger to hard work and dedication.... I worked 2 jobs and school all at once with no core reason to do so other than just wanting more for myself. I would be the first one to my job and last one to leave each day, due to my dedication and hard work. But this feels different. ------- After I had my first and only child, **happy birthday to her today** I initially, years ago, wanted to take this job on not because I was interested in coding, but because it is extremely difficult to find work outside the home with having a child's school schedule to juggle as a single-parent. Daycare's are not only expensive but I don't trust them at all, not even with bigger kids, so that is never an option. I don't have any family that could assist with my child. And my daughter's father is in her life but work's overseas with the military, so I don't have him here to help with her. So I needed to find a job that allows me to work at home when she has her 2 week, 1 week, 2 month vacations, sow days etc, out of school. So I thought to do Medical Coding. I figured it would help me make decent money, let me help others the way I like to help people all the time, take care of my daughter, and be proud of myself to have this wonderful employment I could fall back on if I ever was not able to accomplish my goals with the company I want to start. ----- But hearing all of this information and thinking about my habits of getting distracted and not being able to retain loads of information that well, make me more than nervous and even more doubtful about myself. I just keep seeing people say how much work it is and they say it with a sign of warning in their voice as to almost caution you from being able to do this type of work. It seems to be a job for perfectionists and high achieving individuals. I think maybe that last statement should be said to newcomers interested in this. I have an instructor who wants us to answer questions about becoming a Medical Coder before she sends us our textbooks. Now I see why. I hope I don't get dropped from her class but if I do, I understand why. I appreciate all the time and effort you have put into your videos Victoria. They are VERY helpful just like everyone has said. Thank you again. - Take care and good luck on everything.
I am excited and nervous to start because i don't know what to expect, do they just throw you into the ring and let you code by yourself right out the gate
Most coders work 40-45 hours a week. The flexibility depends on the employers. Some are rigid, other say to just get your hours in any time from 6 am 8 pm.
I took a certified billing and coding online class over a year ago and took my test in a testing center. I passed but NO ONE will hire without at least 2 years experience. Now I forget how to code. It all went out of my brain since it’s been too long. 😔
Seriously 😒. How does anyone the experience of no one will hire inexperienced people? Can’t lie and say I have experience and then get there and look like an idiot because I have no clue what I’m doing. Frustrating!
I am a Medical Technologist and I've decided to change careers after 7 years. I got burned out really quickly working in the lab. Is this job really easy to get burned out on? I've been heavily considering doing the Coding program at my local college and I don't want to have burnout again. The work from home setting is really appealing to me. Thanks for this video!

Considering taking classes soon for medical coding, have been in banking for 4 years and I'm tired of the sales part of it all (especially during a pandemic). Are you able to use a personal computer for the work or is it required to use a separate computer/laptop?
Is it possible for a foreigner (non-USA nor lives in USA) that has finished medical faculty and worked as registrar nurse (4years) work as medical coder?
Hi! Just found your channel and it’s very informative. Question though, I have a bachelors in science from a 4 year college, would I need to go back to school or can I get a certification and get a job?
You can just get a certification. Keep in mind, if you don't already have medical terminology and anatomy under your belt, those are needed in order to understand medical coding. Ideally I think a diploma program through a local community college or tech school is best, but you can also go directly through the AAPC.
Curious why would you prefer a community college or tech school before aapc? Im debating getting trained from aapc. Im not sure if its worth it or not. I have my cca with ahima. But havent coded in 5 years so im a bit rusty. I need to take the course over.
You have no idea how much this video helped me. Thank you. This summarizes everything I was asking myself. I love to search read and be challenged. Especially learn anything about the medical field. I think this job is perfect for me. Thank you for the video it made my decision. So clear, :)

How long does a medical coder have to study for to gain their certification? Since this work can be remote, how remote? Can an Australian receive work virtually from America and be just fine?
It depends on what kind of program you go through. Some can do it in a very short amount of time if they have prior experience. Most people take 6-9 months. As far as the international protocols, those vary greatly by employer so I really can't speak to the specifics of them.
Please I will like to know, as a medical coder does it mean the time the company you work for opens, that's the same time you are to start working from home?
Hey, I have a question. I noticed mostly females in this job, also asking questions. Is this because employers typically look for or prefer female medical coders or do they not care as long as you know your stuff and have the certifications?
It's one of the few jobs that is comfortable for females that isn't hard on your body like nursing or stripping. And pays semi well and short term schooling. Men bodies can handle more or have jobs where they won't get sexuall assaulted. Construction, military etc. That's why I'm looking into this job. Pays well, less chance of sexual assaulted and not long schooling.
Hi I'm currently studying medical billing and coding and my community college. It's a path for an A.S degree. Do I also need to get a certification with the A.S degree?
Almost all organizations only hire coders that have a certification through AAPC or AHIMA. The associates degree will be awesome, but you'll still need to prepare to sit for the certification exam. You can go on coderdirect.com and check out the job listings in your area and see what the demand might be as far as certifications.
@@ContempoCoding also, I work at a physical therapy office as a receptionist and the therapist has me doing some aspects of the medical billing already, if I wanted to get the certificate what exactly will I need to study before I take the certification test?
Hi Victoria, I am a medical coder . Your video is really helpful to me . I am planning to start the remote coding. Any suggestions which hospitals is giving remote coding for abroad candidate .
Are you aware of Career Step? I was thinking of joining their 3-4 month program to become a coder. Just don't to be scammed or left in the cold with them if i sign up? where did you go to get certified?
I started out at my local community College then went through a CPC prep program through a local college. I don't have any personal experience with Career Step. From what I hear the program is what you make of it.
But what are the hours for a coder? I am about to take my class at the hospital where I work. I have been a CNA for over ten years and I am accustomed to working three days a week 12 hour shifts

@@ContempoCoding hi I'm interested in being a remote medical billing and coder I plan to start the certificate program soon is it possible to be remotely with a certificate or do I need a degree I live in NYC I just found your channel.
Hello Are you looking for a high demand jobs in medical coding Then learn ED and E/M department Check the below link to know more about it
ua-cam.com/video/V94sBHjxto8/v-deo.html
I have a bachelors in healthcare administration, thinking of going into coding as I want a remote job in the future
Hi, working remotely, are we able to travel while doing it? My husband travels a lot for work and we'd like to do it together (travel). Is that possible?
What coding podcast you listen to? What apps you listen to them on?
I'm mostly listening on desktop these days to be honest! I listen to mostly Alpha Coding Podcast and Not Elsewhere Classified these days. Sonal Patel also has a great podcast called Paint the Medical Picture.
Hi from Canada !
Q: are you paid salary, hourly or piece work (commission) ?
Q: what is the typical work load, various, busy, overly busy (you can't seem to complete in 8hrs and have to carry over)
Q: International, would I be able to get certified AACP and work for a USA company, while still living in Canada?
Thanks so much !
Hi i would like to work as medical coder in America.how do i proceed?
Just passed my CPC exam!! Anything you recommend for a new coder?
Yeah, check out the video I did on job hunting tips! And keep up with those CEU! Don't wait too long to start tracking them!
How many days do you work a week? Is this something you could do traveling in an RV?
Where can I get the Scorecards you mention?
And what is the coding program that can guide you through coding a procedure? Your example was, “ gallbladder, excise.,..”
Can you work from home as a beginner or is it best to start with an in-house job first?
Would you have any recommendations on managing this line of work for a SAHM that is home schooling one child and breastfeeding another?
Balancing a career in medical billing and coding as a stay-at-home mom, especially while homeschooling one child and breastfeeding another, is indeed a challenge. It's important to remember that this field requires high levels of concentration and accuracy, and most employers expect consistent productivity, and often do not allow employees to be tending to others during work hours. However, with a dedicated workspace, a well-planned routine, possibly flexible working hours, and some support during your busiest hours, it can be manageable. It's all about finding a balance that allows you to fulfill your professional responsibilities without compromising the care and attention your children need. Open communication with your employer about your situation can also lead to finding a mutually beneficial arrangement. Best of luck in finding the right balance for your family and career!
@ContempoCoding Thank you very much. I really appreciate your response and will definitely take it all into consideration as I go through my courses.
Can you decrease the intro sound? It's so loud.
Thanks for the feedback, this was implemented in the newer videos and is not able to be changed in the older videos due to UA-cam's limited editing.
7:34 You mentioned accuracy and productivity meetings 1on1. So for productivity what is the typical chart/code per hour usually look like? I have anxiety issues and im trying to gauge the expectations...
It varies so much depending on employer and specialty so there's no straightforward answer to the standards.
WHat is the best laptop for a Medical Coder and Biller?
Can you recommend any specific pc or laptop for medical coding, or even mac book laptop is ok for medical coding or else any tablet pc will be fine for medical , if not can you recommend any perfect laptop versions or brand for medical coding jobwork from home

I am currently a remote medical coder and I am set to take my CPMA exam in November. So happy I found this channel!!
I'm happy you're here!! Good luck with your CPMA! Make sure you brush up on infusion coding!
This was great, I have been researching "free online cpt coding practice test" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Penailey TelepathicPrincipality - (do a google search ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to passing the AAPC exam for Certified Professional Coder minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.
How is the program going Kerstin Ulbrich?
I just started my medical coding course through AAPC. I enjoyed your video, very informative! How many cases would you say you code per day?
When going through AAPC did you have prior knowledge to terminology, anatomy, and physiology or did you do the additional courses? And if you did, did they teach you everything you needed to know?
Im in school right now for medical coding ❤️💯 So im excited I found your channel 🥰
Is it better to have just certification or to get a degree in medical coding?
You will have to get a degree from a school that the certifying organization recognizes to be able to sit for certifications that hospitals and physicians will recognize. Then you find that employers will require certifications that take at least an Associate's degree in Health Information Technology AND 3 years if experience. Which means after going to school and paying hundreds of dollars to sit for each certification exam, you will getting an entry level job that doesn't require anything but a high school diploma to get your foot in the door and hope that one day your boss will let you move up to coding. To work from home as a coder you will need 3 years of coding experience at a hospital to get hired. AHIMA is the main certifying organization. Go to their site and look at the different certifications and what they require to sit for the exam. Go to hospital websites, search their job banks for coding jobs and see what they require. You might see some that say they only require a high school diploma, but you have to have more than that to get the certifications they require. You will HAVE to have classes in Anatomy & Physiology, Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, Medical Terminology and several computer classes just to give you and idea. Not to mention statistics, management, law and so much more.
Hi! I’m looking into getting in this field and I have a few questions.
What do you find enjoyable and what do you find to be most difficult in medical billing and coding?
How do you maintain 95% accuracy in coding? I feel like the hourly productivity goal would give me anxiety 😥
I burned up money getting my masters in psychology (lol) & I’m trying to find other career paths more suitable for me.
This was a great question.
Sherece hello 👋, I've always been very interested in psychology, I enjoy learning everything psychology. I'm wondering what is the downside of getting ur masters in it? What are the negatives that u are finding with getting this degree? Thank you so much
I know what you mean so I work in Auditing and HCC coding. Auditing- things have already been coded but usually sent back for corrections like an investigation lol. HCC coding or Risk Adjustment deals with connecting a signal diagnosis for each encounter and if it's not there or a connection can not be made then we would have to query the provider. I know this comment was a while ago but spoke to me as a coder feeling the same thing many years ago.
@@nathaliaj2070 It really depends on your end goal. A masters in general psych may be too broad and not specialized enough for certain careers. If you find a specialized field you like you typically will need to go back to school to get certified. The masters can be a huge plus if you’re trying to do something like public speaking or if you want to go on to do your Phd. But after I did my masters in psych I discovered I liked working in ABA. I only needed a bachelors for the position I held in that field. However, to become a BCBA I would be a good candidate because I would only need to do 1 year of schooling bc I already had a masters. Long winded but it really depends.
I'm looking to start schooling for this in a couple weeks but I had a few questions! Do you have to call patients regarding outstanding bills? If so do they provide a secure way to contact them? Do you have to call insurance companies? Does the job provide you with a secure laptop or all the programs/resources required to do your job or is this something you will have to pay for out of pocket? Thank you!
This was a great video! Thank you for sharing this info with us :). Is this a job that could work for a stay at home mom? I homeschool my 3 kids and am looking for a part time way to earn money from home. Thanks in advance!
It's hard to get a remote job right off the bat, and even harder to do so part time. Most places want a few years of experience before allowing coders to work from home.
Hi Victoria I really appreciate you and your videos we really need you out here. I need to start working from home now I’m a Orthopedic Coder for a major hospital here in the Midwest.
My gf nudged me into getting started with medical coding during the pandemic. I was laid off, so I used and have been using the extra time to getting a huge head start. It’s a lot of fun, and I hope I can eventually make a new career out of it. You recently put out the e&m coding tips and when I first started working with that area your vids weren’t out, yet. So I am glad you have uploaded them. Maybe at some point you could make some vids wherein you go through e&m scenarios? I know it’s one of the most difficult areas of the coding job
I actually have a playlist of videos breaking down E&M coding, have you checked them out? ua-cam.com/video/VCZgRFR32rc/v-deo.html
Contempo Coding yes I have, but for me, e&m is still tough, and I think one or two case scenarios would be helpful. Maybe down the road when you are short on content ideas, you could make a couple. I struggle with the medical decision making process.
Since you don't have to go to a physical location and can work from anywhere with wifi, do you feel "freer" as a medical coder? As a HIT, I struggle with having to wake up at 4:30 every morning to go to the same location everyday and do the same thing over & over lol. I'm considering coding because even though I will do the same thing every day, I will at least be in the comfort of my home
Thanks for your video! I've been an occupational therapist for about 34 years, dealt with CPT codes (for rehab) and ICD-10 (and earlier) codes, reading of patient medical charts, as well as studied anatomy and physiology. I'm interested in working from home as a medical coder. Based on my health care experience, do you think this would be a natural step for a remote worker in the field of coding? Thanks so much!
I'm very curious about how flexible the scheduling is with this kind of work, and I can't seem to find any good resources online. Are you on their schedule, like a 9-5? Or, is this a career path for someone who likes to be up late into the night?
I graduate in July as one and my advisors have told me it's 90% of the time an 8-5 mon-fri type of gig
Shower at lunch time yup that’s me lol
I really wanna have a job where I can work from home!!!! At first I wanted to get my bachelors degree in actuarial science but schooling for 4 years is very expensive and takes longer so i am considering getting my associates degree in HIT and hopefully be able to do remote work and even though they might not make as much as an actuary does it is still really good pay but this way i can jumpstart my dream of living remotely and buying some property mortgage free and do the FIRE movement
Hi, I am about to complete school for medical coding and I'm not very confident in myself when it comes to taking the exam. Do you have any suggestions on how to study and become proficient at coding before taking the certification exam?
Was the actual work easier than the program cus I feel like an idiot
Do you have a video about how you went about getting your first coding job working from home? I'm an RN currently in school for medical coding, I finish soon and just want to know what to expect.

Attainable for sure. Not always easy, but it is possible. I would say the bulk of coders start out working wherever they can within the revenue cycle of a healthcare institution or billing/coding company.
@@ContempoCoding thank you! 🙏🏻 I just recently passed my NCCT certification test for insurance and coding specialist. Would you recommend me going thru AAPC for my CPC since I want to do coding more than the insurance aspect?
Can you talk about the different types of medical coding certifications?
I’m gonna tell you now, before I watch this lol, that I’m in school for it and I’m failing horribly I feel. I’m lost, I’m stuck, and about a million other things and I’m at my wits end. It literally makes me feel like I’m too stupid to do this.
I’ll add edits as I watch lol
Edits:
*Watching this makes me realize I went into debt for nothing. I literally can’t do this job. 😔
*Everyone else is excited and I’m overwhelmed
*I was lead to believe that I could do this from home from the start. Instead I’ve learned that it’s not as possible as I was told.
*Still realizes I can’t do this and I’m overwhelmed.
*I have vertigo as well so that’s good to know.
Sorry if it comes across negative. I’m spiraling 😔🥺😩😭
what did you end up doing?
Thank you Soo much. Perfectly clear understanding of what to expect.

Thank you!
I did a medical billing and coding course through Texas Tech provided by ed2go, I did awesome going through the course but now that I'm studying for the certification exam I feel totally defeated. I feel ignorant and as if i really didn't learn anything. I'm just not understanding. Honestly i feel like I've wasted over a year of my life trying to do this.
Good morning......I am looking for remote Work....how I get job in medical coding? I don't have certification or no experience in medical coding......but I have customer service experience
If you are using an encoder do you check the codes it gives against the books, or do you trust it completely? I’ve heard the software is not always accurate.
Hi Victoria, I have been watching your videos for 2 days now, listening to various stories and information about the coding journey. I am overly impressed with you and your workload and dedication. I am starting an excelerated, 12-week medical coding class that I am terrified to take on now. I was very excited and eager to take this on but I keep hearing SO MUCH about how this is not a piece of cake, its a lot of work, there is lots of reading, you have to be ready for these multiple thick books etc. And I don't hear much that excites me about the job. - Don't get me wrong, I'm no stranger to hard work and dedication.... I worked 2 jobs and school all at once with no core reason to do so other than just wanting more for myself. I would be the first one to my job and last one to leave each day, due to my dedication and hard work. But this feels different. ------- After I had my first and only child, **happy birthday to her today** I initially, years ago, wanted to take this job on not because I was interested in coding, but because it is extremely difficult to find work outside the home with having a child's school schedule to juggle as a single-parent. Daycare's are not only expensive but I don't trust them at all, not even with bigger kids, so that is never an option. I don't have any family that could assist with my child. And my daughter's father is in her life but work's overseas with the military, so I don't have him here to help with her. So I needed to find a job that allows me to work at home when she has her 2 week, 1 week, 2 month vacations, sow days etc, out of school. So I thought to do Medical Coding. I figured it would help me make decent money, let me help others the way I like to help people all the time, take care of my daughter, and be proud of myself to have this wonderful employment I could fall back on if I ever was not able to accomplish my goals with the company I want to start. ----- But hearing all of this information and thinking about my habits of getting distracted and not being able to retain loads of information that well, make me more than nervous and even more doubtful about myself. I just keep seeing people say how much work it is and they say it with a sign of warning in their voice as to almost caution you from being able to do this type of work. It seems to be a job for perfectionists and high achieving individuals. I think maybe that last statement should be said to newcomers interested in this. I have an instructor who wants us to answer questions about becoming a Medical Coder before she sends us our textbooks. Now I see why. I hope I don't get dropped from her class but if I do, I understand why. I appreciate all the time and effort you have put into your videos Victoria. They are VERY helpful just like everyone has said. Thank you again. - Take care and good luck on everything.
I am excited and nervous to start because i don't know what to expect, do they just throw you into the ring and let you code by yourself right out the gate
Thanks for the video! How many hours a week you work? And is it flexible?
Most coders work 40-45 hours a week. The flexibility depends on the employers. Some are rigid, other say to just get your hours in any time from 6 am 8 pm.
I took a certified billing and coding online class over a year ago and took my test in a testing center. I passed but NO ONE will hire without at least 2 years experience. Now I forget how to code. It all went out of my brain since it’s been too long. 😔
I understand. I went to school for medical assisting and no one would hire me because I had no experience. Makes no sense smh.
Seriously 😒. How does anyone the experience of no one will hire inexperienced people? Can’t lie and say I have experience and then get there and look like an idiot because I have no clue what I’m doing. Frustrating!
I can see mostly see women in your comment box.can men fit in for the medical coding job?
I am a Medical Technologist and I've decided to change careers after 7 years. I got burned out really quickly working in the lab. Is this job really easy to get burned out on? I've been heavily considering doing the Coding program at my local college and I don't want to have burnout again. The work from home setting is really appealing to me. Thanks for this video!

Considering taking classes soon for medical coding, have been in banking for 4 years and I'm tired of the sales part of it all (especially during a pandemic). Are you able to use a personal computer for the work or is it required to use a separate computer/laptop?
It depends on what organization you're working for. Some will ship you a laptop, others expect you to utilize your own equipment.
Is it possible for a foreigner (non-USA nor lives in USA) that has finished medical faculty and worked as registrar nurse (4years) work as medical coder?
Yes, but you will need to complete formal training in medical coding.
Hi Filip Will, are you seeking to work remotely from a different country? I'm asking because that's what I'm trying to research as well.
Hi! Just found your channel and it’s very informative. Question though, I have a bachelors in science from a 4 year college, would I need to go back to school or can I get a certification and get a job?
You can just get a certification. Keep in mind, if you don't already have medical terminology and anatomy under your belt, those are needed in order to understand medical coding. Ideally I think a diploma program through a local community college or tech school is best, but you can also go directly through the AAPC.
Curious why would you prefer a community college or tech school before aapc? Im debating getting trained from aapc. Im not sure if its worth it or not. I have my cca with ahima. But havent coded in 5 years so im a bit rusty. I need to take the course over.
You have no idea how much this video helped me. Thank you. This summarizes everything I was asking myself. I love to search read and be challenged. Especially learn anything about the medical field. I think this job is perfect for me. Thank you for the video it made my decision. So clear, :)

How long does a medical coder have to study for to gain their certification? Since this work can be remote, how remote? Can an Australian receive work virtually from America and be just fine?
It depends on what kind of program you go through. Some can do it in a very short amount of time if they have prior experience. Most people take 6-9 months.
As far as the international protocols, those vary greatly by employer so I really can't speak to the specifics of them.
Another amazing video 💥💥💥
Please I will like to know, as a medical coder does it mean the time the company you work for opens, that's the same time you are to start working from home?
You are awesome! Thank you so much for all of this wonderful information. Your videos are fantastic. I’m so happy to have found you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey, I have a question. I noticed mostly females in this job, also asking questions. Is this because employers typically look for or prefer female medical coders or do they not care as long as you know your stuff and have the certifications?
It's one of the few jobs that is comfortable for females that isn't hard on your body like nursing or stripping. And pays semi well and short term schooling. Men bodies can handle more or have jobs where they won't get sexuall assaulted. Construction, military etc. That's why I'm looking into this job. Pays well, less chance of sexual assaulted and not long schooling.
Hi I'm currently studying medical billing and coding and my community college. It's a path for an A.S degree. Do I also need to get a certification with the A.S degree?
Like from AAPC or HEMA?
Almost all organizations only hire coders that have a certification through AAPC or AHIMA. The associates degree will be awesome, but you'll still need to prepare to sit for the certification exam. You can go on coderdirect.com and check out the job listings in your area and see what the demand might be as far as certifications.

I am thinking on going to school for it. Any advise?
How did you get started in medical coding?
I went to school for it! Got lucky and got my job right after graduation. Was working from home in 6 months. I know this is not usually the norm haha.
Are you aware of Career Step? I was thinking of joining their 3-4 month program to become a coder. Just don't to be scammed or left in the cold with them if i sign up? where did you go to get certified?
I started out at my local community College then went through a CPC prep program through a local college.
I don't have any personal experience with Career Step. From what I hear the program is what you make of it.
But what are the hours for a coder? I am about to take my class at the hospital where I work. I have been a CNA for over ten years and I am accustomed to working three days a week 12 hour shifts
Doby Tha hippie: how about a change?
Stephanie I have kids and working 3 12 hour shifts works well for me kids I can’t do a 9to5
I’m getting a certification in Medical Records, do I necessarily need to take the state exam in order to get a job?
