Any advice for people who are interested in a medical coding specialist career?
You need to assess your personality type. If you’re an independent decision-making, detail-oriented type who doesn’t require a lot of interaction with people, this is a good position. If you like talking to people, then coding is not what you want to do. Medical coding sounds straightforward and simplistic: a patient has a disease and the coder gives the diagnosis a number. But it’s more complex than just assigning numbers. It’s detective work, uncovering a mystery.
