Are Medical Billing /Coding Technical Certificates recognized by employers in the central Florida area?

Question

I want to go to Valencia CC in florida to get a technical certificate in Medical Information Biller/Coder. Do you think it will be worth it? Do employers in the field recognize that certificate? Do any of you have that certificate or work in that field?

Answer 1

It would likely be recognized, but if you are thinking you'll be able to work at home doing this, you'd almost surely need at least a couple years of doing this type of work in an office or medical facility.

Community colleges often give as good or better training that the privately owned schools, at a fraction of the cost, so that's a wise choice.

Good luck.
