I currently have my cca from ahima and cpc from aapc. I have only one year experience coding and it has been a long time since ive coded. I work full time for a hospital and have experience in all other financial revenue, but cannot find a coding position, as most require many years experience. I would not even mind getting into billing, but i have no experience, just coursework. Cannot afford to give up my current position to do an externship. How does anyone get positions without experience? Even my old department medical coding will not hire without at least 3 to 5 years hospital coding. I had only one. Very frustrating to keep up with ceu's and fees, knowing i will never be able to use my credentials to get a job. Would love to find a part time remote billing job or coding and keep my current position.
