Not always true. I had no experience. And my instructors said the same thing Bleu said. "Stop telling yourself that these people will not hire you. Apply for everything. Because most most have transferable skills." Basically you need to sell yourself and practice interviews. Be more positive. Revise the resume. I used to fall asleep with my thumb sore from one click apply buttons. I got hired and hired. No experience. I was trainable and coach able. I learned and took notes and showed my enthusiasm in learning. Employers love it! Stay the course. Stay encourage you've got this. And stay away from negative people. You are enough!!! Even if they say experienced. There is a little secret. "They are willing to hire and train the right person." Sell yourself.
🩵I love your toughness. Im saving all these tidbits on my phone notes, texting your videos to myself...I am going to do the self-studying this year and use your syllabus/guidelines...rt now my "studying" is youtube tutorials and hunting down some used books to get into his. I was an EMT for 6 years and do billing for a lawyer now from home but want to do and learn more...I think I like this stuff! Thanks for your knowledge!
Thank you for these awesome suggestions! I have a previous background in retail and now I know I can use those skills along with what I learned in my certification program (not certified yet) to get one of these jobs!! Gives me a better idea!
I love your information and I love your demeanor! Educational & fun!
Ty,love your videos ❤
Hey Bleu! It's me again :) I got my CCA a couple months and I got a job as a Medical Biller at a great Company to start out.
I can’t even begin to explain to you how much your channel has helped me. Not only did I pass my exam on the first try through your help but i also am now having this EXACT issue and didn’t think of doing this so thank you.
My exact thoughts. I passed my CCA 12/27/23 (also on the first try, thanks to Bleu's videos) and was having this issue as well. I started to believe I would have to find somewhere I could do an "internship" of sorts to gain experience. I love Bleu's videos. I'm currently in accounts receivable AND a cashier in retail. Bleu, this video is perfection!
Hey Bleu! You were the first person I got my advice from on this journey. I just passed on my second attempt last week. Thank you for your guidance ❤
Good advice. I started out in health insurance as a claims examiner where I took the bills that were generated (I didn't know it at the time by a medical coder) and keyed them into the claims system. They use the same code sets, CPT, HCPCS, ICD and some 'home grown, depending on the client. I agree that medical examiner is a great way to build a foundation that will stand out when the chance to transition to medical coder comes along.
Bleu, your videos are so encouraging!! Thank you! Loved your advice about wanting a coding job bad enough, and how the HIM field demands it.
Wish I could’ve met you in 2007-2008! I gave up so easy because I couldn’t find ANYTHING in this field. I am now considering taking the course again, and taking the CPC exam…and just getting back out there again.✨
I have an Associate degree in medical billing and coding. I graduated with honor in 2006. Well, I never work in the field due to illness. Thank God my student loan was forgiven. Now I want to use my degree. Can someone guide me on how to work part-time at home with a flexible schedule. I'm tight on budget. This inflation is killing me.
@@louisiannef3122 I didn't know one could get a 2 year degree in medical billing and coding.
This is awesome advice! I’m taking my NCCT exam on Wednesday and I will be back in school on Next Monday to work on my Bachelor’s degree in Allied Health
Great advice thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m currently working as an MOR at a pcp office, currently working towards getting my Coding certification and your videos have been soo informative!
Thank you for these job alternatives🎉❤
Great tips!!!❤❤
Insurance companies pay examiners about a week as they pay Dr's. Meaning they do all they can to get out of it. Is a good first step tho.
Hi Bleu, thank you so much for your videos. They are encouraging. I'm finishing my AAS in Medical Reimbursement and Coding at the end of October. I will be taking my CCS-P in November or December. I am terrified.
Do not be afraid, friend! You're walking in with knowledge. You will be OK no matter what! Study consistently and it will work out. 💙
Very informative! Thank you so much 🙂
Thank you for all your video. It’s help me & other people to get in medical field. ❤
Love your channel and all the gold nuggets you graciously share with us. I thank you so much Ms. Bleu!
Thank you for the video ❤
Hi Bleu! I just want to ask if you are also familiar with Dental Coding? Thank u!
Billing- but even the billing jobs want experience! Then what? I have no experience in billing either so I really have run into multiple dead ends, even with a BS degree in a science field! I haven't had the first interview :(
You apply anyway. You apply with a one page resume, that lists your skills. Do not let the job ad discourage you from applying. You STILL have to apply anyway.
I'm saying this to lift you up. You can do it.
Bleu I'm 62 and just received my associates in medical billing and coding from UMA in Aug 2023. My passion is to resubmit denied claims. What is your claim on this? I live in Henderson NV, ready to start the new chapter in my life. Do you have any recommendations for me. I look forward to hearing from you
Thanks!
this video was so helpful! It was great to have some alternative job positions to apply for :)
Thank you so much 💙
Would pharmacy claims processing count as experience to get a foot in the door
What are your thoughts on being a Medical Scribe or Patient Advocate for alternative jobs?
It won't help because they have nothing to do with coding.
@@MedicalCodingwithBleu thank you
Once you become a certified medical coder, what kind of home office setup do you need to work from home as a medical coder ? Can you use your personal computer, or do you need a separate business computer with VPN and multiple monitors, to connect to the medical company's computer system [or does the employer provide equipment] ? What equipment/resources do you have to provide yourself to set up a medical coder home office, and what equipment/resources might the employer provide ?
I am interested in this as well,
