Let me start off with my journey… it has been a long one.
I started pursuing medical billing and coding in 2013 and finally got a Claims job last year, only to be laid off this year. I have experience in claims, Accounts Receivable, and sending medical records by mail and electroncially, and as a health and life benefit administrator (dealing mainly with eligibility).

I’m certified as a CPC ( did the online program to get the A off) and have the ICD-10-CM certificate of proficiency. I have to other smaller certifications related to medical billing and coding.

Am I qualified to do medical billing and coding in a specialty office, or medical insurance verification?

I don’t want to come across as whiny or sarcastic. I’m serious and somewhat frustrated. It took me so long to get to claims and I feel like I have to sort of start over. What are managers looking for? I absolutely love dealing with billing and medical insurance. I would love to code. This is my dream job.

Am I getting too easily frustrated? I feel like the doors keep shutting and I have applied eveywhere possible near me.
