What word of encouragement could AAPC forum offer to CPC-A's in the meantime....
until I/we get a job? Keep taking the online CEU requirement courses, taking classes like Medical Terminology, Anatomy, Billing and list them on my resume when I/we pass the exams/tests as I/we go along? Would that help potential employers to see my/our effort in continually training myself as well as showing them that I/we will continue to do what it takes to get a job in the healthcare field? I've browsed through alot of earlier responses and can understand the frustrations as I've been looking for and applied for some jobs, even entry level positions and have yet to get one phone call from anyone. Seems like a lost cause when I've emailed externship program contacts listed on AAPC, actually one email came back as ''invalid email address'' and sent an email to another and got no response since Jan, to get some advice on where I should start. I tried to do some online research for billing service agencies in Ark and not much found on Google. Just a constant search with no results. Not sure if local hospitals or clinics offer ''unpaid'' training for someone like myself who have no experience in a healthcare setting. Almost feel like giving up but my only support is from my family who continue to encourage me. I work/drive 30 min from home M-F and by the time I get home most hosp/clinic offices are closed for the day. What to do, what to do? Huh, just need some encouraging word and an ''it's gonna be okay!''
