Work at home Medical Coding Jobs!!! Going to Allied

I am a stay at home military wife. Im going to school online at Allied. I have been looking to see if there are any jobs out there. Everything I have found are good jobs but you have to have 2- 3 years of experience. Does anyone know of any companies that hire online with no experience as long as you complete school and certification. Thank you If I cant find a job I might just go to school for something else..

Most employers require at least 2-3 years of hands on experience before hiring a coder to work retmotely (from home). It is not something you can do right away after completing your program or even passing your certification.

The only other option is sometimes local hospitals will allow coders to work from home after they have met set quality and productivity standards in house first. The time frame can vary from a couple of months to a year, depends on the facilities standards and how quickly you learn.

Thank You for your response. Im thinking about changing schools and going to Career Step and going for Medical Transcription. I have heard good reviews from that school and people working in that field at home. Do you know anything about that field? Im also looking into Pharmacy Tech. If going to school for medical transcrition dosent work.

It is true that most medical transcriptionists work from home and most can work from home right away. However, this is a dying field. Due to EMR, voice recognition software and offshore outsourcing there are not a lot of MT jobs available and the ones that are, usually pay pretty low. The average pay is .05 cents per line and you are usually required 1200 lines a day. That is $60 for an 8 hour day.

I would suggest checking out MTStars.com, it is an MT forum, it should help you get a better idea of this field from people who are in it.

Good Luck

@ Trystian in Vegas. I'm just looking into coding schools and have narrowed it down to Allied and AAPC. What are you thoughts about Allied, how far into the program are you? Thanks!

@ Trystain I am also a SAHM in Vegas and I would like to see how you are doing in school, which school/career path you chose. I am thinking of going to Career Step myself.
