Hello, couple years ago i received a degree and Medical Billing and Coding, and in January i am planning on taking an online course to pursue CPC certification. After that i want to go ahead and try to find a job in medical coding, but now i hear that some medical coding jobs want the coders to have experience in handline medical record processing, and i hear from other people who are trying to find a coding job, that some employers want to have a certification in RHIT or something that shows that they have experience in processing medical records. IS THIS TRUE? Do i, NOW, need to get medical records experience to higher my chances in getting a medical coding job?
