I love how non customer based this field is tbh. No annoying customer service needed. (Dont mind doing CS, but it gets tiring quick) Currently studying medical records online, and Billing/Coding is a big part of it.
Thank you so much for making this video! I honestly knew I wanted to do something in medical. It was hard for me to make a decision because this is a job that you never see get done. I had no idea this job had ever existed. I seriously wish I knew about this job in high school I would have pursued it long ago. I feel like jobs like this, young people should be aware of. Keep up the good work!
@@Itsdkhidid you start out with a background (education) in billing or did you just land a job in the field? Asking bc I’ve been applying for positions but want to know my chances of landing a job without the education. 😣
Talking of help with medical billing coding exams Thomas is a genius. I never believed it was possible to see my exam questions with the answer,his awesome🎉
I'm starting a medical billing and coding course and I'm so excited. I'm looking forward to working from home as a biller then go back to school for coding. Thanks for sharing.
@@Leyley333-k4k not necessarily it all depends on where you work. But when you take a course for it, it is combined together you learn the billing side and coding.

you are very welcome. I would suggest that since you already work in the hospital you can find out info from the department to see what their qualifications are.
You made my day! you know I've been in medical billing from last 7 years, working hard all day and i love my work. But you have absolutely changed my way of thinking. You better know we work so hard and everyday is not same as multiple challanges in medical billing but I never thought I'll enjoy watching you working rather than watching a movie. Hope we can make a medical billing team some day.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvyat this point im right there with you. Im on my last class and absolutely hate coding. Thought i would love it but its too much. Becoming a coder is also extremely difficult to get into. They want 90% accuracy from probably over 1k codes with modifiers and guidelines. I think im gonna switch to insurance/billing. Im over it
I started but I ended up stopping my courses because it was so stressful, and I wasn't understanding it but I'm so ready to finish I got 3 more classes to go until I'm finish.
Hey girl hey, girl absolutely not I’m gonna need you to get back up and get it done! You got this if you’re busy pray and ask god to help you find a balance I did the course while working and being a single mom you got this ok!

@@ShemaPlusToo if it makes ya feel any better, I'm 2 classes and an internship away from graduating w an associate degree, and feeling dumb as hell about all this.

Thank you for this video, it's helpful. I am interviewing for a medical billing position tomorrow and it's been a cool minute since I was in medical assistant school so I kind of forgot most things. How is your office so calm? The office I worked at as a MA was a hot mess. Loud, catty, toxic to say the least. Your work environment seems way less stressful like you actually can get stuff done.
My environment was always calm we don’t have that many people in the office. All of the billers work from home but rotating every month someone comes in the office to handle the paper claims.

Hi Ms. Evy! I just graduated February 7th from medical billing and coding and they offer us the ncct exam. But I would love to become a professional biller any tips and suggestions. Words of wisdoms..please and thank you
Hi Jay, congratulations on graduating🎉if you’re looking to become a professional biller I would suggest the CPB exam that’s specifically for billing only and CPC+ CPB would be for billing and coding. As I always say consult with god and ask him to guide you on your journey
I would like to get into medical billing & coding. Do you have any suggestions on a good school or program to get started with. How did you get started?
Community college student here I just started this semester. My advice search certifications and continuing education careers in your nearest community college. My classes are online and only 2 semesters. 1 semester if I do it in person
Do you have any tips on finding jobs maybe like this? I am changing my career plan in school to this and would like to mostly work remotely but wouldn't mind some office days.
Hi, make sure your resume correlate with the type of jobs your applying for, and apply everyday to jobs your willing to work to gain experience. I started working remotely because of covid and they ended up keeping us permanently.
That water though! ✅ I'm about to be doing all those VA claims! Anyways, I have my accounting degrees. But do you recommend any medical billing course that could assist with all those different commercial insurances? I've been in the medical field since I was 17. But health insurance companies have only gotten more complicated with time... Any help would be appreciated. ❤ Ty so much for sharing. Can't wait to get started in my new part of the medical field... 😊
Tbh the courses don’t really dive into each insurances. To really learn about the different insurances comes with the job, that’s how I was able to learn. Till this day I’m still learning new things about insurances. Congratulations on your new journey best of luck.
Thank you for sharing this information! I know I'm a late viewer of your video, but I’m interested in learning more or Medical Billing & Coding (together). Could you please provide details on the best way to get certified (what online school)? How long it took you to complete the course? How much true time do you spend on the billing task in your work day (do you have time to break)?
You can go through AAPC, they have courses as well as practice exams. The course I took was self paced so I finished it in 2 months. Everyday is different so I can’t really give an exact time frame as to how much time I spend on billing. Yes I have breaks and lunch.
Hi evy! I am in medical billing and coding class. But I’m question myself if is it easy to get a job in that field and if the pay will be ok for someone who has a certificate. Can you give me any advice?
Hi, obtaining a job in the field can vary. Depending on where you want to work, for example a doctors office some are willing to train and don’t require that much experience. I work for a hospital,so they do require some medical billing experience but they trained me on their system. As far as pay goes again depends on where you work but you do not need to be state certified to get a job you can obtain a job with your certification of completion from your school. Hope it helps and good luck in your classes.
Experts in the field says, "get your certification anyway. With it you can initially get paid more than without it as a beginner." After that experience will speaks 4 itself. And your chances of being denied a job is slim too.
Lmao I love this for you! I’m certified in both billing and coding as well. I can’t wait to get into a hospital myself ! I feel like if I was doing billing in the hospital I probably would feel differently about billing (these small companies are something else gurl). My passion is in coding but I really appreciate this video and I love the vibe you have towards your job❤
Awww thank you so much! See me I hate coding lol, I love the hospital setting because the work is divided, thank you for taking the time to watch my video I appreciate it.
I just passed my CCA exam and I’m trying to apply for employment but for the most part they require experience which is discouraging. My school did not provide any internships but they do help students try and find employment. Do you have any suggestions?
Congratulations 🎊 yes it can be hard without experience but trust me god will place you where you need to be. Pray and ask him for guidance and also look for opportunities at doctors office maybe front desk just to get your feet wet and also a way into a place to get some experience.
Thank you for your encouragement and congratulations you also for accomplishing your goals and dream of working in a hospital. May I ask what certification did you obtain?
I just started my class as a medical biller and coder I currently work as a receptionist at a urgent care is that a good starting point for this career
Hello!! I’m seriously considering taking a medical billing course. Is it difficult to pass the certification?? I took medical coding some years ago and didn’t pass the timed certification. I love coding and did well in my class. I’m really considering this course now. Please give honest and blunt feedback on your thoughts and experience passing the certification. Glad I found your videos! Blessings!
Hi, I would definitely recommend you taking a course. As far as the test goes, I took it 4 years ago, in my opinion it was long not necessarily hard. I would suggest studying and doing practice exams to prepare your self for it. I always feel like it’s a mental thing going into anything, I never told myself that it was hard I just did a lot of practice exams and kept a positive mindset.
Hi, Yw and I wouldn’t know the starting pay in NC. You can research the area you’re in to see the starting pay. In my opinion a certification cause it all comes down to experience.
Thank you what about the hours are you likely to be cut one week and then the next week have hours … I work in retail and I hate it one week I have hours the next I don’t I want to start over completely or are you allowed to work overtime ? …..
I'm a medical biller and the answer to pay and hours are different for everyone and are based on different factors. Check out your local department of labor and if you can talk to people in the field in your area in NC that would be helpful to you.
My honest opinion.. starting out for me wasn’t difficult because I held jobs in the medical field prior to this one. The only thing I had to learn was hospital billing which wasn’t difficult.
Congratulations on completing your certification. Apply to jobs you feel would benefit your career goals I would suggest starting off at a doctors office and working your way up from there.
Just make sure that it is something that you want to do. I don’t think anything is hard it all depends on your mindset and how you approach the situation. Focus and studying and you’ll understand it.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy Thank you so much …. I was curious what would be the starting pay In North Carolina is it better to have an certification or a degree?🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvyi have learned national certification and i have 1 so far and i can say that it is easier than it looks you just have to study and understand. Coding is a bit challenging bit i am learning risk adjustment.
I know you dont like to disclose pay. But is it good? Worth it? I see alot of listings and reasearch that is only a few dollars over minimmun wage and im scared lol
Yes it is but remember every company is different some offer bonuses and some don’t you just have to see what best suits you and my company every year we get evaluated so based on our performance is how we get raises.
I am currently enrolled in school obtaining my associates degree in medical billing and coding. I have roughly 4 months left until I graduate. After viewing this I am confident that I’ll enjoy working in my field and only with a company that has integrity. Are my standards too high? I want to be happy about who I work for but times are hard and I need a good job. What advice can you provide me with on my journey if you don’t mind sharing. Thank you for posting this❤😊
No, you’re standards aren’t high. I’m a firm believer in praying for the things that I want and right now with my new job I definitely prayed my way into it. My advice, pray, study, research and apply to the jobs that you can see yourself working even if the pay may not be high, get your foot into the door and get experience you have to start somewhere.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy thank you so much for your words they are appreciated. I know that including the most high will ensure I’m right where I need to be🙏🏾😇❤️
What school did you get your certifications for? Is it hard to get started as a biller and a coder? I ask because I've always wanted to do this but hesitant.
I took a 3 course class in a community college based in brooklyn and a national certificate called national healthcareer association. I also intend on getting aapc specialties Like risk adjustment compliance officer, stand-alone specialties, etc...
@CloudSky_ I'm a medical biller and I have to interact with both patients and payers. I specifically doing physician billing, but everyone's duties won't be the same. Most times hospitals have different departments for each duty because of their size. Doctor offices are usually much smaller so they don't need to separate the duties as much.
Thank you what about the hours are you likely to be cut one week and then the next week have hours … I work in retail and I hate it one week I have hours the next I don’t I want to start over completely or are you allowed to work overtime ? …..
Retail and the health field is two totally different fields. from my experience I worked 40 hours a week sometimes more due to OT. Again it all depends on where you work if they offer OT and their workload.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy You are correct 🙌🏽 I was just curious on how things work on the healthcare side of things ….. how many classes did you have to take?
I went to school for medical billing here in los Angeles...and i was never given the opportunity to get a job in the field. Everywhere i applied they ask minimum 1-2 year experience 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I Was sent to do my internship to a place where I was doing billing and coding for 5 Months but i was sent there to cover for someone who was on maternity leave. Never was there intention to hire anyone.😢😢
I’m a CPC, studying for CRC. My FT I am a Biller, not a coder (I hate billing/ coding has my heart) But can I ask why you sent your VA claims certified mail? That’s not something we do--
I am currently taking online classes for my medical billing and coding certificate. i want to do more of the billing part of it but i dont know where to start when it comes to looking for a job. Ive looked on Indeed and stuff like that but there are not a lot or any entry level billing positions. How did you find your job? Do you know of any legit employee opportunities? Im in Virginia if that helps
Hey girl. Is this just billing? Or do u know coding? I have to take billing first cuz I can’t afford the coding part just yet, any advice? Thanks 4 the video! ❤
Hey girl hey, I only do billing for my job. I only know coding because of school but haven’t actually had a job where it’s strictly coding. The school that you are going to doesn’t offer billing and coding together? I would advise finding a school that does it together
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy Thanks girl. They do have a combined program, but the be cost effective, im only doing billing for now. I will finish that and complete the coding after! 😀
I will go to newyork in nxt august. I want to do this course . How much the fees? Where can i do it? And the duration ?? Plz answer me .im a single mother ..i have to do something for living. Is it very hard?? Plz give me information about fees,duration,which college...and salary
Hi, it all depends I did my certification in Florida so I don’t know NY fees you would have to do research to find that out. Every school is different I did mine online, duration depends on you if you apply to a course that is self paced. Salary depends where you work I work for a hospital.
Hi it all depends some places want you to have medical experience and some don’t mind to teach you from scratch. There really isn’t a right answer, but for my job they did require me to have medical experience as well as billing experience. I would suggest you do your research on the billing jobs in your area to see what their asking for as far as experience goes.
Hi! Im close to taking my exam to become a medical Biller. What state do you currently live in? Im hoping to get a remote job myself. Also, were you hired as a Medical Biller or as a Coder? Thanks!
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy Thank you! I was watching you other videos and noticed you said you’re in FL in one of the comments! Thanks for your quick reply! Can’t wait to start work in this field 💖
Can anyone tell me how I can get a job working as a remote medical biller ? I’m a single mother and it’s hard finding a baby sitter or even affording daycare also I’m alittle paranoid about letting just anyone watch my child I’m very overprotective, But if anyone can recommend how I can get a job working remotely it would help ALOT cause I’d be able to take care of my baby while working from home
Tbh there is no specific answer or way as to how to get a remote billing job. My advice to you would be, be consistent in your job search, and make sure your resume is up to date, and you have relevant experience to the jobs that you are applying for. I was able to work remote because of covid.
I’m looking to become a medical coder/biller 🎉 I heard I’ll have to take a reading and math test and I’ll only have 2x to pass it. Is it hard ? I’m not a math girl 😩
Hey girl as long as you study trust me you’ll pass it everyone’s experience is different so don’t let other people’s experiences affect your experience I’m not sure if this is for everyone but a part of the test is open book cause you will not be able to remember all the codes by head.
I am graduating from Mohave Community College with an accounting degree and will be going to SUNY Plattsburgh for the 4+1 accounting program online. I work as a billing supervisor and I suggest anyone who wants to grow in this field. Go to college for business or accounting. It’s will be beneficial. Medical Billing and Coding is entry level. But if you want to make big money get the degree and get good with data analytics
@@MegaCandyrock I’ll be done in July it isn’t hard. Barley any math, you have to remember codes but codes change so they give you books. Just if anything need help ask your teacher or find someone in the field that can help with tutoring and good luck

Hi evy! I am in medical billing and coding class. But I’m question myself if is it easy to get a job in that field and if the pay will be ok for someone who has a certificate. Can you give me any advice?
Hi, obtaining a job in the field can vary. Depending on where you want to work, for example a doctors office some are willing to train and don’t require that much experience. I work for a hospital,so they do require some medical billing experience but they trained me on their system. As far as pay goes again depends on where you work but you do not need to be state certified to get a job you can obtain a job with your certification of completion from your school. Hope it helps and good luck in your classes.
Experts in the field says, "get your certification anyway. With it you can initially get paid more than without it as a beginner." After that experience will speaks 4 itself. And your chances of being denied a job is slim too.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy How did you break into the field?
Lmao I love this for you! I’m certified in both billing and coding as well. I can’t wait to get into a hospital myself ! I feel like if I was doing billing in the hospital I probably would feel differently about billing (these small companies are something else gurl). My passion is in coding but I really appreciate this video and I love the vibe you have towards your job❤
Awww thank you so much! See me I hate coding lol, I love the hospital setting because the work is divided, thank you for taking the time to watch my video I appreciate it.
I just passed my CCA exam and I’m trying to apply for employment but for the most part they require experience which is discouraging. My school did not provide any internships but they do help students try and find employment. Do you have any suggestions?
Congratulations 🎊 yes it can be hard without experience but trust me god will place you where you need to be. Pray and ask him for guidance and also look for opportunities at doctors office maybe front desk just to get your feet wet and also a way into a place to get some experience.
Thank you for your encouragement and congratulations you also for accomplishing your goals and dream of working in a hospital. May I ask what certification did you obtain?
Thank you so much for this video. You are a blessing 🙏🏾✨🫶🏾
You’re very welcome
I just started my class as a medical biller and coder I currently work as a receptionist at a urgent care is that a good starting point for this career
Congratulations on your new journey! Absolutely anything in the medical field is a great start.
Hello!! I’m seriously considering taking a medical billing course. Is it difficult to pass the certification?? I took medical coding some years ago and didn’t pass the timed certification. I love coding and did well in my class. I’m really considering this course now. Please give honest and blunt feedback on your thoughts and experience passing the certification. Glad I found your videos! Blessings!
Hi, I would definitely recommend you taking a course. As far as the test goes, I took it 4 years ago, in my opinion it was long not necessarily hard. I would suggest studying and doing practice exams to prepare your self for it. I always feel like it’s a mental thing going into anything, I never told myself that it was hard I just did a lot of practice exams and kept a positive mindset.
Thank you so much …. I was curious what would be the starting pay In North Carolina is it better to have an certification or a degree?
Hi, Yw and I wouldn’t know the starting pay in NC. You can research the area you’re in to see the starting pay. In my opinion a certification cause it all comes down to experience.
Thank you what about the hours are you likely to be cut one week and then the next week have hours … I work in retail and I hate it one week I have hours the next I don’t I want to start over completely or are you allowed to work overtime ? …..
I'm a medical biller and the answer to pay and hours are different for everyone and are based on different factors. Check out your local department of labor and if you can talk to people in the field in your area in NC that would be helpful to you.
I'm still in school but I can't wait to start, what's it like starting out??
My honest opinion.. starting out for me wasn’t difficult because I held jobs in the medical field prior to this one. The only thing I had to learn was hospital billing which wasn’t difficult.
Just finished medical billing/coding. Can u give me advice on how I get my hands on experience please. Thanks in advance.
Congratulations on completing your certification. Apply to jobs you feel would benefit your career goals I would suggest starting off at a doctors office and working your way up from there.
Keep yr certificate because yr job may require you to be certified to keep the job…Great video
My job doesn’t require us to be certified. I actually got the job before I finished my certification and got certified. Thank you 😊
Any advice to someone who hasn’t taken medical billing and coding classes? Are they hard or how to prepare?
Just make sure that it is something that you want to do. I don’t think anything is hard it all depends on your mindset and how you approach the situation. Focus and studying and you’ll understand it.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy Thank you so much …. I was curious what would be the starting pay In North Carolina is it better to have an certification or a degree?🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvyi have learned national certification and i have 1 so far and i can say that it is easier than it looks you just have to study and understand. Coding is a bit challenging bit i am learning risk adjustment.
I know you dont like to disclose pay. But is it good? Worth it? I see alot of listings and reasearch that is only a few dollars over minimmun wage and im scared lol
Yes it is but remember every company is different some offer bonuses and some don’t you just have to see what best suits you and my company every year we get evaluated so based on our performance is how we get raises.
I am currently enrolled in school obtaining my associates degree in medical billing and coding. I have roughly 4 months left until I graduate. After viewing this I am confident that I’ll enjoy working in my field and only with a company that has integrity. Are my standards too high? I want to be happy about who I work for but times are hard and I need a good job. What advice can you provide me with on my journey if you don’t mind sharing. Thank you for posting this❤😊
No, you’re standards aren’t high. I’m a firm believer in praying for the things that I want and right now with my new job I definitely prayed my way into it. My advice, pray, study, research and apply to the jobs that you can see yourself working even if the pay may not be high, get your foot into the door and get experience you have to start somewhere.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy thank you so much for your words they are appreciated. I know that including the most high will ensure I’m right where I need to be🙏🏾😇❤️
@@Masterminds8686 you’re very welcome
Can someone please suggest some good online schools.?? Looking to get into this field and all the information on internet is too overwhelming.
I did Carrington college totally online done in 9 mos.
Brigham Young University will be such an ideal school for you
Hi, I will be doing an internship next week and i just wanted to know what would be some good things to cover and study before i start?
Hi, what kind of internship is it?
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy health administration but i’m currently in school for medical billing and coding
Great video. Do you have to know a lot of coding on your job? Do you use coding books?
Thank you so much. No not really, and no I don’t actually code I do billing so I don’t use the cpt books.
I’ve been doing so much research on medical billing! Is there any advice you can give if it’s something for/not for you??
It’s not a hard field, you would have to determine if it’s something you can see yourself doing. The only way to know is to try it out.
What school did you get your certifications for? Is it hard to get started as a biller and a coder? I ask because I've always wanted to do this but hesitant.
A community college or med certs online
Did you get training at the office or how does that work when you work remote?
I got my training at the office I didn’t start remote until covid.
how many classes did you have to take?
I took a 3 course class in a community college based in brooklyn and a national certificate called national healthcareer association. I also intend on getting aapc specialties Like risk adjustment compliance officer, stand-alone specialties, etc...
Leave the music out of your videos, it makes it hard for us to hear you.
Which schooling did you attend? Trying to find a program
I completed my course online
What’s the name of the course? Currently looking at online schools and not sure which one to pick 😅😩
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvyhow long was your online course?
Great video. I start my medical and billing class next week...
Ever thought about working independent?
Thank you so much. I actually have and I’m thinking about if I actually want to go down that road.
Does your hospital billing position require any phone calls to payers or patients?
Hi ari nope I don’t speak to insurance companies or patients, they have a separate department for that I strictly handle billing.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy so you don’t have that much patient interaction at all ?
@@sharimoore4980 have the same question cause some jobs i saw require phone calls 😢
@CloudSky_ I'm a medical biller and I have to interact with both patients and payers. I specifically doing physician billing, but everyone's duties won't be the same. Most times hospitals have different departments for each duty because of their size. Doctor offices are usually much smaller so they don't need to separate the duties as much.
Do you know if MedCert is good to get a certification from do medical billing ?
Hi, I’ve never heard of them.
Thank you what about the hours are you likely to be cut one week and then the next week have hours … I work in retail and I hate it one week I have hours the next I don’t I want to start over completely or are you allowed to work overtime ? …..
Retail and the health field is two totally different fields. from my experience I worked 40 hours a week sometimes more due to OT. Again it all depends on where you work if they offer OT and their workload.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy You are correct 🙌🏽 I was just curious on how things work on the healthcare side of things ….. how many classes did you have to take?
So what certification did you get
I obtain the CPC
I went to school for medical billing here in los Angeles...and i was never given the opportunity to get a job in the field. Everywhere i applied they ask minimum 1-2 year experience 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Awww, I’m so sorry to hear that. Have you ever worked in the medical field prior to going to school for it?
I Was sent to do my internship to a place where I was doing billing and coding for 5 Months but i was sent there to cover for someone who was on maternity leave. Never was there intention to hire anyone.😢😢
How or where did you apply for your job @ a hospital setting?
I’m a CPC, studying for CRC. My FT I am a Biller, not a coder (I hate billing/ coding has my heart)
But can I ask why you sent your VA claims certified mail? That’s not something we do--
To keep track of the records and claim so if they say they didn’t receive it we have proof that it was sent out.
Yes, sending them certified is important because some payers love to say they never received the claims...lol
I am currently taking online classes for my medical billing and coding certificate. i want to do more of the billing part of it but i dont know where to start when it comes to looking for a job. Ive looked on Indeed and stuff like that but there are not a lot or any entry level billing positions. How did you find your job? Do you know of any legit employee opportunities? Im in Virginia if that helps
Hi, I’ve always had good results with indeed. But also check company websites as well.
Amen . God bless this lady in Jesus name amen. Pamela in Detroit
Thank you so much
Hey girl. Is this just billing? Or do u know coding? I have to take billing first cuz I can’t afford the coding part just yet, any advice? Thanks 4 the video! ❤
Hey girl hey, I only do billing for my job. I only know coding because of school but haven’t actually had a job where it’s strictly coding. The school that you are going to doesn’t offer billing and coding together? I would advise finding a school that does it together
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy Thanks girl. They do have a combined program, but the be cost effective, im only doing billing for now. I will finish that and complete the coding after! 😀
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy do you have to be good in math to be a biller?
@@KendallLXL no you don’t
I’m looking to enroll courses for medical billing and coding and suggestions on what program to use?
There’s a lot of programs out there you would have to do your research to see what fits your budget, time, and schedule
I’m currently taking both billing and coding. I graduate in July I’m excited hope anyone looking to get into this field finds the right school ❤
Congratulations I pray god will bless you with what you need.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy thank you so much 💕
Which online school did u go to if I may ask? Or which is the best and cost effective? Thanks
I want to be a medical biller so thanks for this video
Your very welcome
In order to work this job do I have to take Covid Shot? Been watching Billing Coding videos for a while.
It depends on where you work. When I first started covid was in effect.
I just finished school and now looking for a job 😖
Congratulations on your achievement🎉best of luck to you on your journey
enjoying those epic updates?? 🤣
Do you get to set your hours? Can you work at night?
No I worked from 8-4:30pm
yeah but how much did they start you with?
I rather not disclose that information
looks like billing similar to private practice like dermatology
I will go to newyork in nxt august. I want to do this course . How much the fees? Where can i do it? And the duration ?? Plz answer me .im a single mother ..i have to do something for living. Is it very hard?? Plz give me information about fees,duration,which college...and salary
Hi, it all depends I did my certification in Florida so I don’t know NY fees you would have to do research to find that out. Every school is different I did mine online, duration depends on you if you apply to a course that is self paced. Salary depends where you work I work for a hospital.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy hi...in online how much u paid ... and what was ur duration that time to complete? Thnku for reply me
do you mind me asking, what's the minimum education you need to have a job like yours?
Hi it all depends some places want you to have medical experience and some don’t mind to teach you from scratch. There really isn’t a right answer, but for my job they did require me to have medical experience as well as billing experience. I would suggest you do your research on the billing jobs in your area to see what their asking for as far as experience goes.
Lol I just seen the educated part again it all depends but I would suggest you get certified in the filed cause it can help you get paid more.
I'm about to graduate as a medical assistant and phlebotomy, and I'm thinking of going to school for medical billing and coding afterwards.
Enjoyed❤
Awww thank you so much I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🤗❤️
I need a legit school to get into. Any advice?
I have the same job I love it. I’m at home working
I’m no longer working from home.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy it’s not bad either way!!
I moved so that’s why I no longer work for the hospital I miss it so much, but with my new job I’m as happy as I was with my old one.
Hi Gorgeous! What’s the name of the career you studied?
Hello, it’s medical billing and coding
Hi! Im close to taking my exam to become a medical Biller. What state do you currently live in? Im hoping to get a remote job myself.
Also, were you hired as a Medical Biller or as a Coder? Thanks!
Congratulations! Fl I was hired as a medical biller, but I was able to work remotely because of covid.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy Thank you! I was watching you other videos and noticed you said you’re in FL in one of the comments! Thanks for your quick reply! Can’t wait to start work in this field 💖
Can anyone tell me how I can get a job working as a remote medical biller ? I’m a single mother and it’s hard finding a baby sitter or even affording daycare also I’m alittle paranoid about letting just anyone watch my child I’m very overprotective, But if anyone can recommend how I can get a job working remotely it would help ALOT cause I’d be able to take care of my baby while working from home
Tbh there is no specific answer or way as to how to get a remote billing job. My advice to you would be, be consistent in your job search, and make sure your resume is up to date, and you have relevant experience to the jobs that you are applying for. I was able to work remote because of covid.
@@KeepingitrealGirlEvy Okay ☺️ thankyou so much 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏
Would you say this job is easy?
To me no, and that’s because I’ve been in the field for a long time.
I’m looking to become a medical coder/biller 🎉 I heard I’ll have to take a reading and math test and I’ll only have 2x to pass it. Is it hard ? I’m not a math girl 😩
Hey girl as long as you study trust me you’ll pass it everyone’s experience is different so don’t let other people’s experiences affect your experience I’m not sure if this is for everyone but a part of the test is open book cause you will not be able to remember all the codes by head.
I am just getting started so any advice is welcome
Are you starting with schooling or looking for a job?
I would love your job
Does your job consist of talking on the phone any??
So does your job consist of talking on the phone any??
awesome
Thank you
Does anybody recommend any good legit online classes of medical billing and coding?
Following this lol tryna find out myself
UMA
Pitt Community College
I am graduating from Mohave Community College with an accounting degree and will be going to SUNY Plattsburgh for the 4+1 accounting program online.
I work as a billing supervisor and I suggest anyone who wants to grow in this field. Go to college for business or accounting. It’s will be beneficial. Medical Billing and Coding is entry level. But if you want to make big money get the degree and get good with data analytics
The salary needs to be discussed
I don’t discuss salary as that’s part of my preference. And salary can depend on a lot of factors Like experience, area, education etc…
the background music is distracting and kind of drowns you out
Crazy how low billers get paid. I get paid more in medical device company without any certification
It all depends on where you work I can honestly say I’m happy with my pay.
❤️❤️👍🏼☺️
☺️♥️🩷
Very difficult job
It’s really not that difficult.
Lmao parched
I’m currently taking both billing and coding. I graduate in July I’m excited hope anyone looking to get into this field finds the right school ❤
Hi helenna6891, I start medical billing and coding in 2 days. Is it hard? What advice would you give a newbie?
@@MegaCandyrock I’ll be done in July it isn’t hard. Barley any math, you have to remember codes but codes change so they give you books. Just if anything need help ask your teacher or find someone in the field that can help with tutoring and good luck
@creolgal @Helenna what school/program did you guys do? I’m looking to start soon, but my local community college doesn’t offer online.
How long is your program?? i plan to register soon just collecting as much info as I can!
