I also recommend avoiding resume-distribution firms with wild claims of success. Most people do have great value that they can offer, however they are poor at communicating what that value is. Let me tell you from experience on both sides of the desk, if the hiring executive is convinced of the value that you can deliver, you will likely get an offer that is higher than what you felt you deserved. Many executives have contacted me seeking employment and have started by telling me what they thought they deserved and were worth? You know what? I couldn't care less. If they wouldn't sell me on the value they can deliver first, then why should I be interested in what they want.
A recent American Hospital Association survey showed that about 18% of billing and coding positions remain unfilled due to a lack of qualified candidates. Most companies and practices are looking for schooling and experience mostly because of the legal ramifications of incorrect billing practices. However, medical billers and coders are also able to work independently out of their homes where they established a home based billing office. They will guide the medical coder through current modifiers, code changes, additions and deletions. HIPAA books help to develop an effective HIPAA compliance plan and DRG books are needed for Medicare's classification of inpatient hospital services based on principal diagnosis, secondary diagnosis, surgical procedures, age, sex, and presence of complications.
