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 school near you. They might offer what you are seeking. If you aren't seeking any designation from them they might let you audit the training.

I'd like to know how much it costs (financial aid) to go to school for medical billing & coding?

We Answered:

The Career Step course is only $2,200 and is has everything you need to become a medical coder and biller. $20,000 is outrageous! Not as many medical coders and billers work form home though. There are some who do but it is not nearly as common as it is for medical transcriptionists. So if that is your main goal, you may want to research the career a little more. I do believe that AviaCode hires coders from home. Either way, if you want to look into medical transcription, Career Step offers training for that too.

Clyde Said:

Is medical billing and coding something that you have to go to school for or on job training?

We Answered:

Yes, you have to go to school. Most places prefer or require that you are certified through AHIMA. (www.ahima.org).
It's a 2-year degree.
It pays average... Depending on where you live, it could be anywhere between $10 and $20 an hour!
Experience is essential.

Are you a Medical billing & coding specialist? I have so many questions!?

We Answered:

A biller deals at the front office with the patients directly, you need excellent communication skills to deal with people who are more often than not unhappy with the charges and rebates their health fund gives them. You process accounts, and health fund claims and take payments. Most insurance claims are done electronically at point of service.

A coder has to put the treatment/procedure into code and send the data to the relevant department, medicare etc. You work independently and have no dealings with the general public.

I worked in a medical centre, we had a small day hospital. I had a huge manual to help with the hospital coding. Everything had to be accurate. The data had to to sent directly to medicare. A coder is totally different to a biller in my experience.
