I am interested in being trained in medical coding and billing for
insurance. There are so many online courses I don't know where to start!
Which one is reputable? Which one is reasonable? Which one is current and
accurate? My head is swimming. I would like to take the online training so
I can do it any time of day or night that I feel well. And then do medical
billing from home, for the same reasons. Of course there's no guarantee I
will find a job, but the first step is the training. Are any of you medical
professionals? Wanna hire me? grin

Afraid that I don't know of any, but good luck and hope it works out for
you.

Georg took online courses a few years ago and I know that she did find
work after completion - don't know which one she had signed up with
though. I imagine that finding the right one would entail checking
the credentials/licensing etc. as with any online schooling.

I suggest you contact your State Board of Higher Education for
references! They generally have jurisdiction over correspondence-
types of schools, and know who is approved and who is not. Also, I
suggest you check with the medical records departments at area
hospitals, since they do the hiring and firing and will be able to
tell you where their personnel were trained. Many of the "work at
home" things in the medical field are scams in that no reputable
medical office will allow sensitive medical data to leave their
offices. (There is actually a relatively new federal law about
medical privacy -- HIPPA -- that will probably apply.) Is there a
community college in your area? Try them.

Most junior colleges offer online classes. Check with your county junior
college and see. Another would be a local technical college. These are good
places to start for accreditation.

I worked for an online college until I found out they were a diploma mill.
They ruined lives when the people tried to get jobs.

I don't mean to scare you Karen, just be cautious.
