HEY everyone, I finally got my first coding job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have only been certified since February but it feels like it has been a long and tough road to get employed in coding. I am finally in and I cannot be more excited to start. I know a JOB is different than the schooling I did but I am ready to learn.
I found out Dec 30th and my start date is Jan 23. I do have to move but it is worth it. I will be working in a hospital too!!! It will mostly be E/M coding for the physicians but that's OK.
Don't give up if you are new and have a CPC-A or other entry level certifications/experience. You just need someone to give you that opportunity and once you prove yourself, then you are set!! I thought it would take longer than it did honestly so I am happy it didn't. I also received compensation beyond my expectation
