Question

What does a medical coder do?Can they make a good living starting out?

Answer 1

You can check out real coding jobs on the website below and compare one region to another, beginner vs. experienced.

Answer 2

I recommend you avoid ANY scheme that tries to convince you they will put you to work in your home and you will make great money.

DO NOT BELIEVE IT!

Try to get a job with a real health insurance company or a REAL company that processes medical claim forms. A real company has an office and a desk and a computer where you will work. They give you training, they provide benefits, and you have a boss or a supervisor and co-workers. That's the best way to learn. THEN, after you have some experience and they have confidence in your abilities, you might be able to work from home.
