   Veteran coders are so important to this industry right now but instead I see people in their 50’s getting laid-off when the transition would be much easier for them. I also see work going out-of-the country because it is “cheaper” putting the American coders out of jobs. We not only have to deal with ICD-10 issues but the language barrier of other countries too.
