I am a recent graduate of Concorde Career College with a diploma in Insurance Coding & Billing Specialist. I got my CPC-A in Feb 2011 and trying my hardest to find a job in Medical Billing/Coding but getting the same story from physicians and HR managers they want more experience. I even have applied to the five companies in my local area to do Project Xtern and not getting anything beneficial in that area either. The federal and state government paid for my training and I know they didn't do so to have me stay on unemployment. I have even just applied for a File Clerk position and can't get that. I maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout my schooling and passed my CPC-A exam the first time with a 86%. But the physicians and HR don't seem concerned about that. They want hands on experience. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks,
Brian Hazel CPC-A
