In this thread, I asked about medical transcription as a career and got a consensus of response that, between speech recognition and overseas outsourcing, it doesn’t seem to have much of a future for a U.S. citizen.
So how about medical coding? It’s more technically demanding with more overview required and requires certification…and yet it’s still within my capabilities and aptitude. Is this likely to go down the same road as transcription or does it have a brighter future?
And, if so, could anyone recommend a good online school? CareerStep has a good reputation generally and the Medical Coding course is less expensive than others on the net…but? Does anyone have any experience with it?
Thanks for any insight you might be able to give!
