I BECAME AN AAPC CERTIFIED MEDICAL CODER BACK IN JULY OF 2014, STILL HAVE THE "A" ON MY CPC STATUS SINCE THERE WERE NO EXTERNSHIP SITES AVAILABLE TO ME IN MISSISSIPPI EXCEPT ON THE BILLING END WHICH I DID EXTERNSHIP FOR 5 MONTHS. I STILL HAVE THE "A" ON MY STATUS BECAUSE OF THAT, BUT LOOKING FOR A MEDICAL CODER POSITION. I ALREADY HAVE 27 YEARS OF ACUTE CARE MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION EXPERIENCE WITH VAST KNOWLEDGE IN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY, AS WELL AS MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY, WORKING AS A MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST REMOTELY FOR 18 YEARS FOR A COMPANY. I ALSO HAVE COMPLETED MY ICD-10 CERTIFICATION/PROFICIENCY THROUGH AAPC, BUT ACTUALLY TOOK THE ICD-10 PREP COURSE THROUGH MY MEDICAL CODING SCHOOL IN 2014 ALSO. I CAN BE CONTACTED AT mjmartinmt66@yahoo.com

Have you been networking at your Local chapter meetings? It is a great way to find out about job openings. You also, might consider taking a job as a biller to get your foot in the door. Don't give up just keep applying and something will come up. Look at the insurance companies as well as physician office as insurance companies also hirer coders. Look into remote coding and ask them if you can pass their test will they be willing to give you a chance. Hope some of these ideas will help you.
