It&#8217;s not easy to get into, however. Worse, there are scams out there aimed at people who want to do medical coding from home and just need a little help getting started. With the right training and experience, it is possible to get into medical coding at home.<\/p>\n<h2>Find a Medical Coding School<\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you need to do is find a reputable medical coding school. Don&#8217;t fall for promises of quick training and an easy path to a job. There are scams out there. Research any schools you&#8217;re considering. I suggest looking at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahima.org\/careers\/codingprograms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">schools approved by AHIMA<\/a>. They have approved several online and local programs for you to consider.<\/p>\n<p>For online courses, I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homewiththekids.com\/careerstep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">Career Step<\/a>. I&#8217;ve recommended them for years for medical transcription training, but they also offer training in medical coding, as well as other programs. You can complete the course at home on your own schedule &#8211; just be aware that your initial enrollment lasts one year. Their program can be completed in as little as 4 months, but needing 8 months is not uncommon. They are on AHIMA&#8217;s list.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homewiththekids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/learn-medical-coding-500x282.png\" alt=\"learn medical coding\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" data-pin-description=\"Do you need to be certified to become a remote medical coder?

Many employers will require specific certifications, while others are more flexible. Getting at least one certification can be a help in finding medical coding jobs. They are not required by all employers, but they qualify you for jobs you might not have qualified for otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>You become certified by taking a test to show you are competent as a medical coder at the level required. AHIMA and AAPC offer certifications for medical coders. Qualification to test for a certification depends on a combination of training and experience.<\/p>\n<p>You do not need every certification. As your career goes, figure out which ones will give you the most opportunities and ignore the rest. You will probably want one of the basic certifications, such as a CCA, but you do not have to get any if you find a job that doesn&#8217;t require them.<\/p>\n<h3>Certifications<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahima.org\/certification\/CCA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CCA (Certified Coding Associate)<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; CCA is a coding certificate suitable for new medical coders. It&#8217;s a two hour test, and you may be able to pass it right after you finish your training. It is offered by AHIMA.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahima.org\/certification\/CCS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CCS (Certified Coding Specialist)<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; The CCS certification is offered by AHIMA and is for coders with some experience. Usually, you need at least of coding experience after your training to get this certification. If you don&#8217;t get your CCA or similar credential, you will need at least two years of coding experience to qualify. Having a RHIA, RHIT or CCS-P also qualifies you.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahima.org\/certification\/ccsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CCS-P (Certified Coding Specialist &#8211; Physician Based)<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; The CCP-P credential is for coders who work in physician based settings, such as physician offices or specialty centers. This certification is for those who have mastered their coding skills, not for those who have just begun.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aapc.com\/certification\/cpc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>CPC (Certified Professional Coder)<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; The CPC certification is offered by AAPC. The AAPC says it is the most recognized medical coding certification in the industry. The full certification requires two years of coding experience, but there is an Apprentice level for those without sufficient experience. The exam takes 5 hours, 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahima.org\/certification\/RHIT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RHIT\u00ae (Registered Health Information Technician)<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; A RHIT certificate (offered by AHIMA) is available for those who have completed a HIM program at an associate&#8217;s level. This certificate may be useful for medical coders or cancer registrars.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahima.org\/certification\/RHIA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RHIA\u00ae (Registered Health Information Administrator)<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; A RHIA certificate (offered by AHIMA) has more rigorous academic requirements, requiring either baccalaureate level or master&#8217;s level completion of a HIM program. I&#8217;ve seen many medical coding jobs list a RHIA or RHIT as a qualification, even though they aren&#8217;t specific to medical coding.<\/p>\n<p>The possible certifications go on. If you want to specialize in outpatient coding, you might want to get a COC. A CIC would be useful if you specialize in inpatient facilities. The certifications go on for the different specialties as you go through your career.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6896\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homewiththekids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/medical-coding-jobs-500x333.png\" alt=\"medical coding jobs\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-pin-description=\"Medical coding jobs are a great work at home option, but you have to get training and experience first.

That average pay rate drops to about\u00a0$45,035 per year for medical coders without certification. It goes up to\u00a0$51,477 for coders with one certification and goes higher for some certifications.<\/p>\n<p>Pay also varies by region. This is likely related to the cost of living in different places.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, you won&#8217;t earn the average amount right away. Pay is often hourly or based on productivity, and you will likely need to improve your skills to earn more money.<\/p>\n<h2>Be Ready To Specialize<\/h2>\n<p>Many medical coders specialize. It makes it easier to get a job within your specialty and can make you more productive. The most commonly used codes for your specialty will be familiar.<\/p>\n<p>Specialties may include inpatient or outpatient coding, emergency room coding, obstetrics and so forth. You may find that you land in a specialty simply because that&#8217;s the job you found which hired you.<\/p>\n<p>Working in a specialty will open up some jobs to you. Many medical coding jobs require that you have experience in a particular specialty. Sometimes these positions will pay more; other times the pay will be about the same.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6881\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homewiththekids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/coding-specialties-500x300.png\" alt=\"coding specialties\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" data-pin-description=\"Are you considering going into medical coding?
