I'm a CPC-A and feeling extremely trapped and miserable in my current job, which is nominally a "billing specialist" but turned out to be about 80-90% call center, even though I was initially told I'd probably only have to handle 5 or 6 calls a day. I do write appeals and use some awareness of Medicare/Medicaid regs but I am very scared this job will just suck up all my time( obviously it's sucking my soul, but that's true of any human interaction and I know I can't escape entirely but I do need to get somewhere this is less) and not allow me to advance or count as experience in the field. Has anyone succeeded in moving from this type of position to actual coding? It seems like the few entry level coding jobs I've seen do require experience in a medical billing position but does this count as that?
