I have a job interview scheduled for a coding position. What would be some good questions for me to ask the interviewer?
I would ask them if the organization will pay all, or a portion of your AAPC annual fees, as well as the webinars.
I would not ask this question ... or anything related to salary, benefits, vacation, etc ... in the first interview.
I would want to know how their staff is organized and how job duties are delegated. Would you be one coder among many? Is this a very large hospital-based practice? A billing company? A small private practice? Is each coder assigned certain providers or does the coding staff just parcel out the work as it comes in?
Asking about salary, hours and vacation time are valid questions. My position for 15 years included interviewing many, many people and I had no problem with being asked this. I may NOT have a confirmed answer for you at that time but it certainly doesn't hurt to ask.I have a job interview scheduled for a coding position.

They may cover these topics but if not I would ask:
How many employees to you have and what is your daily quoted that is required?
Salary, hours, vacation time.
What are possibilities for advancement?
Are you taking steps to transition to ICD-10 and what are plans to prepare coders?
Does your company pay for continuing education?
