I’m wondering if anyone has been in the same sort of situation as me before, and seeking advice on what my next step should be to get
back to work in coding.

I graduated MATC/Madison college in 2010 with my CPC-A license.

I worked at the VA in medical billing and then Pharmacy billing.

My husband and I then started a family and I have been staying home with my kids until now,( 1st grade and 4k)

I’ve kept my license/certification current every year and kept up with CEU’s.

I’ve ordered the PRACTICODE internship/externship online program from AAPC to help refresh me on coding.

I’d like to (eventually) work from home, but I don’t even know where to start.
I’m hoping that practicode, in addition to removing my A and giving 1 year of exprience, will refresh and I’ll feel more
confident about coding again.

Has anyone gone back to work from being a stay at home parent for a number of years? I don’t feel confident coding
yet, so much has changed…are there places that will let you job shadow/train on the job when you haven’t had
recent expirience? I’ve also had about 7 years experience in healthcare claims prior to school for medical coding.

Thank you for any and all advice!
