carla in Birmingham, Alabama 55 months ago	I am interested in this field. I am already an LPN and have an extensive background in the medical field. My question is, can you really make good money in this field working from home or is this another one of those work from home scams? And what kind of education do you need? can you make money with just the certificate that most of these at home courses offer? - Was this comment helpful? Yes (64) / No (3) Reply - Report abuse

I think that is just a certificate, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the salary is decent. I recently completed the course at NTC for Medical Coding and Insurance. I know that the salary does fluctuate depending on the facility. The problem I am having is finding a job in this field. Bemidji does not have a lot to offer for this field. Good luck to you with school. IF you have Ila as an instructor you will like her. She is very easy going. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Els in Lawrenceville, Georgia 50 months ago	The best thing for all of you who are interested in the billing/collection field is to volunteer at a dr's office for a few weeks with a medical biller. You need to have the "detective" instinct, work well unsupervised, plus the insurance companies are changing their reimbursement tactics almost on a daily basis. You need to stay one step ahead of the game. This is NOT an easy field if you want to be good at it! Learn, learn, learn! - Was this comment helpful? Yes (4) / No Reply - Report abuse

STARMOON31 in Bronx, New York 50 months ago	Beth, I am from Brooklyn also, but every time I go for a medical billing job they always offer me a lab job. They always reccomend a lab job. So I have been in the lab job for a while in Cyto/Micro. But at the same time I want to do billing and coding. And it has been a long time for me. Do you have any solutions? - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse

STARMOON31 in Bronx, New York 50 months ago	STARMOON31 in Bronx, New York said: When you first started was it easy to get a job in that field? My advice to you is to go straight to the top and do not stop. And do not let anyone stop you. In NewYork you know, people are funny. But you can get great pay it's who you know not what you know. I have applied for LIJ and they did not pick me reason: They pick someone with a little more exp. than I. But just a couple of months later they picked a girl with NO exp. at all she got in. The only way that I got that interview is because I knew someone. Not because i knew my job. It's a doggy dog world. Everywhere I go they always tell me it's not what you know it's who you know. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse
STARMOON31 in Bronx, New York 50 months ago	Guys remember I told you every time I go for a Medical Billing Job they always give me a lab job in the Cyto / Micro dpt. But since now I have been in there for so long so now when I go to apply on the sneak tip they tell me you have to know someone still. So this puts me back in the same position. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No (1) Reply - Report abuse

Yes I agree with you but, they are maybe the employers are afraid of taking us because they feel that we might mess up there billing and they will not get paid. But where do we start if we want exp. How do we get exp. I need the exp right now as I speak. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Because I want to proccess claims from home really. I would love to do that. Yes you will find a job faster in process claims then medical billing it's easy just inputting deomgraphics and codes that are already there. Isn't fun. I enjoy that a whole lot also. I think Metroplus is hiring in Manhattan for process claims you can try. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse
