When your company hires a remote coder, is it usually a contract position or do they become actual employees of the company?
 
I’m the coding supervisor for a large anesthesia group.. we are looking to hire another in office coder but i want someone that has expert anesthesia knowledge. Which I’m not sure I’ll find in San Antonio.
 
Its up to you as an employer to decide. Some do want someone who is in the area to come into the office for time to time, some are fine hiring country wide. Some will want a person to prove themselves in the office before allowing to work remotely. One problem is likely going to be once you have one remote coder all of your onsite will want to work offsite as well. If you do remote I'd probably limit to someone else in Texas since you will already be familiar with the states labor laws.
 
I have been a remote coder for several years. Most of my positions have been as an independent contractor. I am currently working as a regular employee for a company that does coding and accounts receivable management. None of my assigned clients that I code for are in my home state of California - my assigned clients are in the East.
