I am about to graduate with an associates in applied science for medical billing and coding, and I was wondering what could I expect going into the field?
It is frustrating because everyone usually wants 2+ years experience, BUT APPLY ANY WAY!! That's what I did and I sold myself...told them I am capable & want to learn and that I am a clean slate which will allow them to train me however they want. Just be confident!!! They hired me right then and there. That was my first coding job as an Air Ambulance Coder back in 2010.
Did the same thing with my current job here at McKesson Corporation!!I have been here as an Anesthesia Coder for about a year and a half now.
Good luck and don't get discouraged!!!
