Hi everyone,
I graduated in December 2015 with my Medical Billing and Coding Diploma and I have tried taking the exam 2 times and failed. The 2nd time I took it I missed passing by 12 questions. I am going to take it for the third time next month and pray that I pass! I live in SW Florida, Fort Myers/Cape Coral area. I have absolutley no experience in the medical office field, only banking and real estate. I have been applying for all sorts of medical office jobs just to get my foot in the door. I even listed at the top of my resume my schooling and the classes and I did an internship for Lee Physician Group but it was only for a week.
I would love to work at the place I interned but they require the coders to have at least 1 year experience and of course be certified but even after I get certified I'm afraid I'm going to keep having the same troubles in finding a job. I really want to get my career going but how do you get experience when no one will even give you a chance?
Anyone else going through this? Does anyone have any tips or connections?
Thank you!
Kris
