Medical Transcription?

Question

I'm located at Minot AFB in North Dakota, in a few weeks I will be completing my Medical Transcription course and I was wondering if there is anyone who can give me advice about getting an at home job as a new Medical Transcriptionist. My goal is to do all the work directly from home, so I'm not sure how or where I could apply for jobs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am already three-quarters of the way through a Medical Transcription course, so I'm not just looking for any at home job

Answer 1

What you're looking at is called "coding" in the medical world... the coding --transcription -- is easy enough, but it will be up to you to convince doctors and clinicians to work with you -- someone they don't know from Adam. A giant feat in itself.
THEN you will need the coding books as new codes are made, or old ones modified; you will need to know how Medicare/Medicaid operate with hospitals, etc., and how to file properly coded data in order for them to pay up. The job is very involved... if you can find physicians willing to work with you, great. But you had better be able to produce results, or they'll drop your services FAST!
I know all this because my hubby works managing coders for a major hospital in my town.

Answer 2

It relies upon on what your concentration is. All 3 of those jobs would tie into one yet another, yet each are taken from a various attitude. Transcription- could have great typing qualifications, being waiting to decipher diverse physicians, awareness of scientific time era, and so on. Billing - being accustomed to diverse coverage payors and their regulations and regs for paying claims, understanding a thank you to talk with coverage firms eapecially Medicare/Medicaid. Coding- awareness of biology, scientific time era, drugs, pathophysiology (ailment technique), ICD-9, CPT, DRGs, coverage firms, coding regulations, and so on. in my view, I want coding. As a coder you in addition to mght finally end up being a biller at cases additionally. whilst claims are rejected, between the coders jobs is to check the chart to work out in the event that they utilized the final code to claims. additionally, it under no circumstances gets boring being a coder, no count while you're doing oupatient or inpatient coding. most of the topics that those sufferers have are actually not in basic terms academic and exciting, yet is likewise hilarious at cases. additionally, in case you get a activity on the final well-being middle, the pay is great.

Answer 3

It's likely that you will have to get a year or two of experience working in an actual medical office before you can find any work from home. But apply anywhere you can, and if you get an interview, you can always ask them if any work from home is available.

Good luck.

Answer 4

I'm sorry, but first I had to respond to the first person who answered this question. Who told you that transcription=coding? That is so completely incorrect.

Anyway, I'm also sorry I can't really help. That response just really annoyed me (I'm presently a transcriptionist, but have coding skills as well)
