Hi everyone,
I've recently completed a year of formal education in Medical Coding and passed my ICD-10 certification exam, but am having trouble finding my first coding position. About how long did it / should it take to find something in the field? I'm currently in PA but have a move to NC planned in the very near future as the healthcare industry seems to be thriving there. I know many positions are seeking experience as well as credentials, but so far have I've had minimal success getting my foot in the door. Can anyone offer insight to the process of getting an initial coding position?
Any words of wisdom are appreciated, thank you!
