some of the frequently asked questions about coding.
What is a Medical Coder?
A coder is the liaison between the doctor
and the insurance company or government agency. These
highly trained and skilled personnel are a critical
link in a medical business. They must ensure that
every procedure is documented and billed properly.
These professionals are not like the office secretaries of the
past. They are the wave of the future!
Should I get certified?
Yes! Certification is almost mandatory for a medical
coding job. The certification
credential for physician and outpatient coding or inpatient coding are currently the
only medical coding credentials recognized by
employers, payers and government agencies. If
you are preparing for the certification exam

assist you in your preparation.
What is the average pay for
a certified coder? The average pay varies quite a bit depending on
where you live, your experience, and your
certification level. The good news is that the
average salary has increased over 11% since 2007 and
the industry continues to grow. For more specific

What is
Medical Billing?
It is the process of claims submission to an
insurance company or government agency for services
rendered. Billers are responsible for gathering
records of patient charges for medical services and
issuing a bill to the patient as well as the
insurance company.
Can I work from home? Yes!
The benefits of working from home are far reaching
for both the employee and the employer. Many
with families choose to work from home whenever
possible, however, you should have experience and have built up a trust within the
medical community.
How difficult is it to start
my own Medical Billing business from home? Just
like any other business, it is very difficult
if you don't have the right tools. I have found one of
the most complete packages available
including bonus package plus
everything you need to start your own Medical
Billing Business. It is very user friendly and I highly recommend
