In School For Coding and Billing
I am half way through my program of Coding and Billing. What are some things to look for in potential jobs.
What are your priorities?
Money? Benefits? Stability? Vacation time? Coverage for illness? Small office v. hospital?
These days insurance drives a lot of job decisions. A hospital will give better benefits; many doc offices can't afford to pay for insurance.
Take a look at what you are asked to code- can you read the doctor's writing? Do they make you pick the code and hold you responsible for picking the most profitable code? Are the other employees happy? If you have kids, can you take sick days for a sick child? Can you work from home?
