I have been a coder for almost 3 years now. I'm wanting to get into remote coding. Does anyone hire CPC remote coders? ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I've had my license for four months and still no luck!! I have 8 plus years experience in Healthcare. It sucks but friends of mine in coding are doing really well. I guess we have to be patient.
The economy is partly to blame. Experience is another issue. Why hire someone with no coding experience, when there are those with 3 or more years that are also looking for work? Many places do not have time to train new staff, so they do tend to hire those who have coding experience with other companies. That way, training time is very short, thus less expensive.
Be patient, the 8 years that you have is great. Now, you just have to leverage the experience that you have. Put it to work for you so that you can get a job in a coding department or working appeals and denials and then see if you can advance from those jobs to working at home.
Good luck with your job search.
It is funny to me that companies would post a coding position on their site for months on in and not take the time to train a new coder. It cost money for a company to work short handed by paying employees overtime. A lot of new coders would take a lesser salary to gain the experience.
It is frustrating at times for new coders like myself but I will remain patient as being a coder is my career goal. I believe that there is someone out there willing to give me a chance, but I can't find that person sitting around feeling sorry for myself.
