Hi,
My name is Leena and i am a doctor ( Pediatrician) overseas but in US i choose to be a medical coder so that i can work from home.
So, i am new in this field and i have CPC -A certificate and completed Paracticode and now i got CPC certificate and meanwhile i came across COC accelerated course so i enrolled in it as when i looked in medical coding job requirements, there were things like OPPS and APS and APCs and i had no idea of it. Now i have basic understanding but there are some questions that i want to ask , if anyone can help me.
1, As a medical coder, what exactly i have to do? I mean do i need to enter code only( procedure and diagnosis) or do i need to fill claim forms as well or is it biller's job?
2, Do i need to fill in for revenue codes, occurrence codes, condition codes, APC codes etc ? If so , then where i can find there codes?
3, How many cases do i need to complete in a day?
4, Do i need to submit charges of services as well? Or they will appear on their own?
5, If there is any software that i have to look for it? If so, please suggest me one.
6, Is there any coding related material that i should look as well? please let me know.
Thank you
