Hello everyone,
I graduated in 2012 with an AAS in Medical Billing and Coding. I passed my CPC on Dec. 2013. I have gained only 2 months paid experience as a Medical Coding Specialist. I used the Project Xtern but I end up in the Medical Billing Part not much in Coding. Please advice on how to get into a job as a coder. My frustrations and most newly graduate and those that just been certified with little experience, how can a person get experience when no one gives a chance. Sometimes I think that my hardwork in school, having licensed have been gone to waste, even if I passed my ICD 10 proficiency assessments with 88% score and still in school and expecting a graduation this July as RHIT from Devry University. I felt that life is getting tougher. Also, I am not sure if it's advisable to get another license or certificate since I have three (CMAA, CPC-A, CMBS )And also, is Practicode can be used or put on my resume and treat is or used it as one year experience? Does anyone think that employers will regard it as such?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
