Work at home Medical Coding Jobs

Working from home and being paid well for it is a goal of many individuals. While searching out ways to accomplish this goal many have stumbled upon a niche field in medical administration called "medical coding".

Medical coding positions are present in hospitals, physician offices, insurance companies, home health agencies, and just about anywhere medical services are being provided and billed for. In addition to traditional hourly employment in this field there are also a number of opportunities to do this type of work from the comfort of your own home.

A standard, hourly, medical coding job is what is usually advertised in the classifieds and help wanted ads. These positions usually require individuals to be present at a specific location, punch a time clock, etc. Employees are usually paid at an hourly rate and receive benefits such as paid vacation, health insurance, and paid holidays.

In contrast, most work from home medical coding jobs are independent contract positions. This means that a larger company who has multiple clients farm out the work into smaller portions on an individual basis. Individual medical coders who are awarded a portion of this work are called independent contractors and are considered self employed.

Most often an independent contractor will agree to receive a specified amount of work each week, code it within a specific time frame, maintain a certain accuracy standard, and in return are usually paid on a "per. chart coded" basis. While such positions usually do not include benefits such as paid vacation, medical insurance, and paid holidays it does offer an extremely flexible schedule and the ability to work from home, which saves on travel, attire, and other related expenses.

An independent contractor can expect companies that award coding contracts to provide the work and coding software while they will be responsible for providing the computer hardware, internet connection, and medical coding books. Independent contractors are also responsible for withholding their own taxes since their payments are made on their gross earnings. At year end individuals will receive a 10-99 instead of a W-2 and will need to file schedule 1040. This can also be a benefit since work related expenses such as coding books, internet, computer, etc. can be considered a tax deduction.

Most independent contraction positions are available for a specific specialty, such as pediatrics, emergency medicine, or dermatology. These positions normally require that contractors hold either a CPC or CCS coding credential and have a minimum of three years of coding within their specialty.

Each coding specialty has its own bar rate and standard pay rate. These are important to know when discussing a contract. For example, when coding emergency medicine the standard bar rate 25 charts an hour and the average pay rate is between.65 and.75 cents per. chart for professional coding. Based on these numbers and an average work week of 40 hours (for full time) or 20 hours (for part time) an independent contractor can choose the number of charts to contract for each week based on their own speed.

For example, individuals who code the standard 25 charts an hour and only wish to work 4 hours per day (that's a 20 hour week) should contract for 500 charts per week and could expect to gross between $352 and $375 each week. The faster an individual can code the more money they can make, so an individual who can code 50 charts per hour can either choose to contract for full time work and receive full time earnings while working only part time hours, or they can choose to contract for a large number of charts and increase their earnings.

While speed is important to an independent contractor's earning potential accuracy is equally important. Most companies who award coding contracts stipulate that the medical coder must maintain a certain accuracy in their coding in order to keep their contract. The accuracy rate usually falls between 96% - 99%. Charts coded by the medical coder are routinely audited by the company to ensure their rates are being maintained.

Prior to being considered for a work from home medical coding job there are several things one must do. The first is to earn either a CPC or CCS coding credential. While there are multiple coding credentials that are awarded by numerous organizations these are the only two that are commonly recognized among employers nationwide.

The CPC stands for Certified Professional Coder, and is awarded by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC). The second credential, the CCS, stands for Certified Coding Specialist and it is awarded by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).

Each of the two credentials can be earned by sitting for and passing the 5 - 6 hour coding exam. Proper education prior to sitting for either exam is strongly encouraged and selecting the right organization to prepare you should be done carefully.

Once an individual has earned either their CPC or CCS credential the next achievement should be to gain some on the job coding experience. This is required by most companies that award independent coding contracts. It is also more beneficial for a medical coder to start out this way as well.

Succeeding as an independent contractor is dependent upon both speed and accuracy and a new coder will be neither. It is best to earn an hourly paycheck when starting out when you can code as slow as you need to and you are able to ask as many questions as you may have to.

Once an individual has gained two to three years of on the job medical coding experience they will be considered for most independent coding contract positions. The next step is to find such companies that offer these types of positions or contracts.

Most internet searches for "at home medical coding jobs" and "medical coding jobs from home" usually return more solicitation or articles than job leads. It is better to use search phrases such as "medical coding independent contractor" or "remote medical coding jobs". Attending local AAPC chapter meetings is also a good way to hear of such opportunities from the local coding community. In addition, an individual may try calling medical coding organizations and ask if the positions they are hiring for have the ability to become remote.

Examples of some companies who hire independent medical coding contractors are avia code, maxim health information services, and med data.

10 Tasks to Outsource to your Virtual Assistant

Many small companies can benefit from working with a virtual  administrative  assistant or VA. Here are ten things to consider outsourcing:

Elance is great place for find a VA 

1. Call Handling

A virtual assistant can answer the phone in your company name, speak to clients on your behalf and then, depending on the nature of the call, either action it or else email the details of the call to you for your attention.

2. Email Handling

If a lot of your time is spent responding to emails with basic information, then let your Virtual Assistant  handle them on your behalf. Consider setting up a separate email address for these types of inquires  which your virtual assistant can access. Any emails which are not straightforward to deal with can be forwarded on to you.  Another option is to create a rule in your email account.  

3. Bookkeeping and Accounting 

, Your virtual assistant can keep your financial records up to date, reconcile bank statements and issue invoices via the online accounting systems like Quicken 

4.  Accounts Payable 

A virtual assistant can handle your billing systems for your clients 

5. Customer relationship management system 

A VA can collect  all your business cards or client contact details into a user-friendly  CRM  database and then regularly ensure that it is up-to-date with all names and contact details.

6. Newsletters

Your contact database can then be used for issuing out newsletters to clients in either email or paper form. Your VA can put together a newsletter for you and print it, if required.

7. Meeting arrangements

If you need to arrange a meeting, a virtual assistant can arrange venues and refreshments or catering, send out invitations to attendees and collate their responses.

8. Travel arrangements

A good virtual assistant can book your travel arrangements, whether you need hotels, flights, train tickets, long-term parking or a taxi.

9.  Social Media  management

If you use social media, a VA can keep your Twitter and  Facebook page or your blog up to date. 

10. Typing and proofreading

For meeting minutes, client correspondence or even copy for a brochure, ask your VA to type it and proofread it before it goes out. You may know what you want to say, but a second pair of eyes typing it out can pick up nuances that you may not have noticed.

By finding and working with a virtual assistant who suits your business, you can offload the mundane activities, freeing up more of your time to concentrate on delivering to your existing customers and finding new ones.

January 2013 work at home job income report

I get a lot of questions about am I am really making money online. I think it is important that you can make money while working at home without  MLM or direct sales. 

I want to start tracking each month for my readers how much money I am making at home doing call center work and some of my other gigs.   Due to Non disclosure agreements I signed  I am not comfortable in saying which call centers I am working making  this money. 

Call Center work I track by the number of hours I am logged in and taking calls.   Some call centers pay a flat hourly rate and some pay only on sales and other pay per talk time.  

Call Center work  

Time work  102  hours 

Pay $1682

Average pay per hour  $16.40

My goal is to try to hit 120 hours a month doing call center work.   I did a field trip at the school plus my usual 2 days of volunteering in the classroom.  I had a lack of motivation this month working the phones as  I really need to hit 120 hours  to help with the family expenses plus our vacation fund. 

Elance and other short task work including mturk -aka non phone work 

Pay  $320

This was mostly elance. I took on a project for a real estate agent that I think too much time for the actual tasks. That can sometimes be a downfall.   I had hope to take some on more jobs at elance but I worked with a difficult client. 

I am not including anything from any  survey and rewards programs as to me those are just extras and I usually save them up for Christmas.  

Gross Total  $2002

Expenses  Landline phone and Internet  $75  

Net Total   $1927 
Compared to last month + $104

Since all of my work is as independent contractor I take 25% and put it in a saving accounts for tax time.
