@supremo502 No, you don’t need to have an associate’s degree, however, you do need to take coursework and/or have a certification in medical coding. There are two national organizations that offer certifications: American Academy of Professional Coders (aapc.com) and American Health Information Management Association (ahima.org). Check each website for additional information. Also, a medical records technician/health information technician isn’t? the same as a medical coder. Beth Rich

ICD-10 training will put all Coder at same Boat. Just 3 classes? for out-patient Coder, 2-5 years working to get great hospital job. Coders can just do Audits, Medical law, and Contarcts (work at home) Now is best time to get into Medical Coding. Heard if you go to Alaska or North Snow states , Very high Demand… Great pay…
