Wiki Can I work remotely outside the US/internationally?

[scttonyco]

Hi fellows.
I am a CPC and I am working on-site as a medical biller/coder.
I know it’s kind a weird question but I am leaving the States in a few months because of family issues. I will go back to my hometown where it’s outside of the country for several years.
I am looking remote coding jobs but I doubt those companies allow me to work remotely outside the United States because of the time zone issues. (For example New York is 12 hours behind of Hong Kong)

I really want to stay in this field. Does anyone have any related knowledge? Thank you!

I think it depends on the company. Many of the really large ones may have offices or allow international workers. You could consider working for a payer or other type of employer which is not just on the provider side, that may give you more options. It's probably going to take a lot of digging to find one. Some of them may not have set schedules or times as long as the work gets done.
