I took a medical billing course with intro to coding through Allied. I finished in March and am having no luck in finding a job that I can work from home. Does anybody have any suggestions? I thought it was going to be so easy to get a job working from home and I am having a heck of a time. Thanks

Andrea,

Are you looking to work from home as a biller or as a coder? Did you sit for your CPC or CCS exam? Are you looking to get nationally certified as a biller?

To work from home as a biller, you would need to start your own home-based medical billing business; have you considered that?

From what I have seen, to work from home as a coder, you should have experience 'on site' as a coder for some years nefore attempting remote coding.

If I can answer any questionf for you, you can email me at lmboadm@aol.com

Janelle Thibodeau in Waltham, Massachusetts said: i was looking at the online allied school... www.alliedschools.com/med_electronic_billing.shtml for billing and coding classes the cost is about $2000 its a self study course and takes as long to complete as you need. Is this a scam??

Allied schools is a nationally accredited online school, it is not a scam.

Yes, Allied is a nationally accredited online school but you get misled when they tell you that you will be able to work from home. I am a stay at home mom and purposly signed up for this course because I was told that I would be able to work from home. This isn't true. I looked for work for a year without any success. Needless to say, I am at home and selling Avon!
