What I did....
I understand your dilemna. I hold a CPC-A as well and looked for employment for months before I was offered a job as a coder at an urgent care. However, it took such a long time for the manager to get back with me, my circumstances had drastically changed (I was pregnant!), and I decided to turn down the job. Looking back, I regret that decision because after my son was born I resumed my employment search and found NOTHING!
So, here's what I did: I started putting my applications for front office positions. I was called, went through 2 interviews, and instead of offering me the front office position, they offered me a position as an Eligibility and Enrollment Specialist. I have been here for four months and love it. True, it is not a coding position, but I find this aspect of the medical office more exciting, and it was all thanks to my medical coding/billing education.
A few weeks ago, the clinic that I work for announced that due to a loss in funding they will be downsizing, so I started putting in apps right away and got a call from a bigger organization to interview for a Resolve Applicatoin Specialist. And I got it! I will be dealing with Medicaid/Medicare/Managed Care applicants.....
So, I would suggest putting your resume in for other jobs within the medical office, you never know where it will lead!
