I am currently (today), completing my medical coding certification program at my local community college. I completed the program in Colorado Springs, Colorado but am moving back to Kentucky (my home state) on December 22nd, (so, in just a couple of weeks!). I plan to take the National Exam soon. I purchased the study guide through AAPC and intend to take the National Exam if I do well on the practice test. If not, I plan to keep studying and taking more practice exams until I do well enough to feel confident about the actual Exam. I would like to obtain employment in the coding field in KY as soon as possible. I am worried that it may take longer than I am hoping because I do not yet have any on the job experience. I do however, have many years of experience in the court system, as an office administrator. Can anyone please advise me, or provide some leads to medical coding jobs in KY? I'm not even sure where to start. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!
