I need signatures for a requisition to AAPC concerning job postings. The job posting forum was closed. Many employers would announce an oppurtunity for a CPC-A to get hired & trained on that forum. Now there is nowhere on AAPC for an employer to offer an employment oppurtunity to an entry-level coder. The only job posting available is expensive & the majority of the employers paying for an ad are looking for a highly experienced employee. Please post your full name, aapc credentials if any, and if you are an employer please state your occupation as well, if you agree with the statement below:

Attention to Administrator of Job Postings,
As I'm sure you are aware those who hold the credentials CPC-A are having the hardest time finding employment. Most physician facilities would naturally prefer to hire an experienced insurance specialist. However, some employers will be open to hiring an entry-level CPC-A, but reasonably not at the expense of $125.00 for a 60 day advertisement. There is no longer an avenue to advertise jobs for free because the job posting forum was recently closed. Therefore it is requested that AAPC thoughtfully consider letting those facilities that are willing to hire an entry-level CPC-A post there job ad at no charge. Also, it would be of great assistance to members as well as employing facilities if these job postings are exclusively seen by AAPC members. In this way, employers will not be as bombarded with applications. Thank you kindly for taking this into consideration.
 
If you do not feel comfortable posting your full name on display, please post a message stating simply "I agree".
 
I would like to send the requisition message to the admin person with a link to this thread showing that others agree that AAPC should provide a way for employers to inform entry-level CPC-As that they are willing to train and hire them. If anyone knows another person I should contact about this please let me know.
