This is basic Economics - Supply and Demand.
Higher supply than demand equals lower prices, which lead to more consumer spending via increase in the demand. This is natural to the market! This is how recessions end - via price adjustments. You can help everyone with money, but if prices are...

Michele Said:career in the medical field?We Answered:There is nothing wrong with starting as a nurse and then going on to earn your M.D. Several physicians I've known over the years had to work their butts off to pay for medical school, and that's how they did it: working as nurses until they earned that MD and obtained their license to practice medicine.
It can be a long process, though: I'd suggest starting pre-med instead of nursing if you can afford it. Oh - and you'd better bring that GPA up - WAY up - competition for admission...

And not all RN jobs have horrible hours. Clinic positions are M-F, 8-5 kinds of jobs, with occasional weekends if the clinic is open then. But they can be a boring job, and they don't pay as well as hospitals. Hospital jobs might have...

Alice Said:What does a Medical Administrative Assistant do?We Answered:A Medical Administrative Assistant job is a combination of front office & administrative tasks. This includes assisting doctors in their daily duties, maintaining & retrieving patient records, and being a functional point-of-contact between a patient's family and the hospital administration.
So clearly, this does not involve handling or dealing with blood (that's where a pathology technician comes in) but you will be required to know medical coding & billing to start with, and pass the CPC exam.

Frederick Said:Senior in high school, future career help?We Answered:Here is my advice: don't stress yourself out trying to make a decision right now. It is a huge decision and could easily change several times over the next couple of years. I did the same thing when I was a senior in high school and I felt so pressured, but I didn't discover what I really wanted to pursue until I graduated and did 2 years at a university. You can always start your core classes at any school, and that will give you more time. Rushing into a decision will...

Actually, they want nurses to do the billing and coding since nurses are much more experienced in the medical field. And it makes total sense!! You may be one of the lucky ones who can find employment in this field BUT I don't think it pays very well.
I think you should go to Nursing School or even a therapist of any kind. ...

I know many good transcriptionists who graduated from Career Step. I know many who felt it did not adequately prepare them to enter the work force. It really depends on the teaching style that best accommodates your learning style.
Medical transcription is a legitimate work-at-home job. It can be difficult to get the first job, as most employers don't train and require 2 years of experience, but it isn't impossible. It will be easier...

And just fyi, coders are said to need their certification(s) and 1-2 years experience or more to get a job as the company can get a pretty hefty fine if a claim is coded incorrectly. Please also think about what you would like to do at least 5 days a week, 8 hours a day to help...

Also, which makes the better money?We Answered:Both jobs, and they are jobs not careers, regardless of what the tv commercials say, pay minimum wage to start, increasing to maybe $10 an hour after years of work.

What are your goals after completing whichever course you choose (get a job or start your own business)?
Are you aware that both professions are hard to...
Sara Said:Looking for an on line Medical Billing and Coding class, any suggestions?We Answered:Perhaps your local community college offers an online course if even a non-credit course. A county vo-tech school may have an on-campus program, but it doesn't seem that they have the online courses as of late. Please stay away from those 'online schools' such as penn foster and stratford career institute as employers don't usually find them to be reputable.

Darren Said:Medical Billing/Coding training online program?We Answered:Online medical billing and coding schools are very suspect when it comes to training on the latest medical/billing software since most medical centers have very customized medical software which is not normally shared with trade schools and the like. In the real world of medical billing and coding, training occurs on-the-job. We therefore do not recommend that you subscribe to any online school for medical billing and coding and concentrate on entering a medical internship program at your local medical facility/center for medical billing/coding.
On another subject: the major bulk of medical billing/coding work in...

Terrance Said:What are the qualifications and/or education needed to do medical billing at home.?We Answered:Most employers require that you are certified before they will hire you. Training is usually needed to be able to pass the certification exam. Since you have medical terminology knowledge you will be able to go through that section of training more easily. I would recommend that you take a training course before you take the certification exam. The training course will teach you how to use coding software, how to look up codes and properly code different types of items/procedures and therefore bill them.

Teresa Said:can medical billing and coding be done online from home?We Answered:Some medical coders and billers work from home but it is not as common as medical transcription. Usually a medical coder is able to work from home after a year or so of proving themselves in the office- that is if the company allows you to work from home. Most likely hospitals will not allow you to work from home. The only employer that I know of that allows their employees to work from home is AviaCode. They are out of Salt Lake CIty, UT. As with medical transcription,...

Nina Said:Im Medical Technologist with MBA. need training in Medical billing/coding, EKG & Ultrasound.How do i do it?We Answered:There are a vast number of medical billing software programs available and each includes training when purchased.
EKG's are easily mastered. Most medical assisting schools include this, so you may be able to contact an instructor and pay for specific tutoring in that alone.
Unfortunately, I believe ultrasonography won't be that simple. I think the best place to look for this kind of training will be through a community college. You also might want to see if there is a Keiser...

You've described your limitations very well; but you have not given much information about the things that you can do; or the things that you enjoy doing. It is easier to give you ideas of where to look for work if we know what you do. For example: do you cook or bake? Do you do laundry and iron clothes? Do you draw, paint, sketch? Do you sew, crochet, knit,...

Leah Said:I want a career change i cant decide which field is better the medical field or the education field?We Answered:I can tell you this much: Teachers in public schools live just above the poverty line in some states. In TN, they barely break 22k a year in my area. This may vary from state to state, but the general consensus is that teachers do not get paid enough for what they do. They have to take their work home with them, have to deal with student conflicts, etc. Apart from early childhood education, most teachers have a bachelor's degree.

If you do get pregnant, though, they don't have to know it was because you were TRYING...that's not their business!! And if you did get the job then ended up getting pregnant anyway, think of the benefits you would get!! :) Good luck!...
Janet Said:Which is a better career field Medical Assistant or Medical Office Specialist?We Answered:I would say neither. With either of those occupations you would be making barely more than someone who didn't have vocational training and is working at a clothing store or a restaurant. It isn't worth it. You can get two year degrees that make you 50,000 a year. instead of 30,000. Which is about what both of those occupations make.
Check into these medical occupations that are the same amount of schooling and make much more money. Occupational therapist assistant, physical...

Emily Said:For Someone Going To College To Pursue a Career In Pediatrics, what would they major in?We Answered:First, it's MCAT, no K.
Second, anyone trying to get into med school should take a pre-med minor in addition to whatever major they choose. This will include all the necessary bio, physics, and chemistry classes. As far as what major to choose, that's completely up to what you like. Nursing isn't really a great choice because the course load is very specific to nurses, and you should probably steer clear of any major that requires very specific courses or required clinical or off-site...

Debra Said:Has anyone completed an online course thru US Career Institute for Medical Transcription ?We Answered:I understand the appeal of courses such as this. Very low down payments and monthly payments. Promises of $50,000 a year starting out. Traditionally, education clearinghouses, which are businesses that offer training in 100s of different programs are not the best for training medical transcriptionists.
I used to assist with hiring for an MT service and I looked for graduates from top schools and those with some experience. I would not consider graduates of educational clearinghouse businesses.

If they won't pay for this specifically some places offer a certain amount of tuition reimbursement every year. This means if you pay for courses...

Clayton Said:I'm interested in a career as a medical coder but don't know from who to get information...who should?We Answered:Go to you local community college, but just be aware that they can offer two different programs.
Some offer a certificate program that is like 3-6 months of classes, I know people who have taken this and cannot find a job--do this only if you currently work for a clinic or hospital and have a job lined up where (or if you already work in medical records) they do on the job training.

Donald Said:what is a better career to get into a medical transcriber or a medical coder?We Answered:I can't give you both sides.. only one, medical transcription. Perhaps you'll get someone who has done both.
I was a medical transcriptionist working from home for 13 years.
Many transcriptionists get their training through a course of study while others carry their medical terminology knowledge with them from other health related fields. You would need to get the terminology down, and then get started. Many companies want experience so there's a catch-22. However, doctors and hospitals may be hiring, and after a time you can...

However, you may wish to check with Gatlin University -- they are online but actually go through colleges like Tallahassee Community College, which I am considering. There's financing - and they find a college near you. The fees and everything are listed. You get the certificate from the college, not them, which I think is better.
Maybe you can tell me how you like transcription?

Andrea Said:Am I making the right choice pursuing a Medical Coding career?We Answered:I think almost any medical career right now is a good choice at least for the next 20-30 years because of all the aging baby boomers. You might want to find a forum on medical coding and post your question there for people with experience to answer you. Also check with your school and instructor to see what they recommend for finding your first job.
You would definitely be able to get a job in a physician's office without being certified, but you'd need a...
William Said:Out of medical transcription and clinical coding as careers, which would bring in the most income?We Answered:It depends.
Transcriptionists typically get paid by the line (must type a minimum per day) and get paid more for the more they type. I think it is a more forgiving position but terminology and keyboarding skills are crucial. You do not want to be transcribing a brain and put in a term for the abdomen.
Coding is probably more scrutinized because it deals with the money/billing. You do not want to miss-code a $500,000 account to Medicare...

I gather that these people are engaged by the government to help unemployed persons to find jobs. This is not an easy task, and although as you say some of the people there were rude, nasty and pushy, this is no reason for you to be rude or nasty. Just telephone them and let them know that you will not be going to that appointment which they have arranged as you have been granted disability. They will need...

Normally those physicians who have already been to one residency in a specialty, are then post graduate fellows (or in a fellowship) for a second specialty.

Bernice Said:Which would be the best medical career to go for?We Answered:First of all, tease out the pediatrician, as that is a major change from the other careers. That is a MD--do you wish to go to medical school? That is 4 years after a bachelors, and a 3 year residency. This is by far the hardest one, but also the highest paid, out of your list. It is also the most stressful, and the most expensive to achieve (med school is around $200,000.00); but it is the one at the top of the pyramid, so to speak....

If you are planning to graduate and work for a while before applying, most jobs in the medical field would require a certain amount of training. You can become an...
Erika Said:What medical careers require the shortest training period?We Answered:It may depend upon the school in which one's attending. A course for EKG (electrocardiogram) tech is perhaps the shortest though I'm not sure that there are too many classes for ekg by themselves. The "diagnostic medical sonographer" (used to be referred to as 'ultrasound technician) usually needs an associate (two-year) degree from an accredited program within the industry. However, there are NOT supposed to be too many jobs for the sonographer or even radiologic technologist (used to be referred to as Xray technician) despite what those private...

Physician's Assistant: What it sounds like. It's "higher up" than nursing, and I believe you can prescribe medication (though I may be wrong), but the doctor is still the overall boss.

Grand Rapids, is coming up city, which means, there arent much attractions to keep you entertained and out on the move, its also a bit farther to Lansing than Ann Arbor.

Bill Said:A career in the medical field?We Answered:careers in the medical field are pretty broad. they range from jobs without patient contact (office stuff; staffing, hospital supply chain management, unit clerk, etc.) to jobs that require direct patient contact.
jobs that require direct patient contact require at least some sort of certification (which pay less) up to jobs that require a degree (like nursing or respiratory care) and a certification (which pay more).
with your office background, and with hospital's increased reliance on customer service, you could probably do something relating to customer relations/member services departments (which field complaints from patients, among...

Claude Said:What are the top rated Medical Transcription schools in the US?We Answered:If you plan to take courses and stay in your state, it's best to take them at a community college. Also, the future of this profession doesn't have a really good outlook. Doctors are being pressured to go to automated dictation, which means they have machines that they talk into and it transcribes itself.(kind of like VOIP.)
If you look on a site like careerbuilder and just type in medical transcription, there really aren't that many jobs around the country.
Also, they really don't pay more than about 14.00 an...
