What kind of person does well in a medical coding job?
You have to be able to multitask, answer the phone, talk to a person in the office, check the forms. Sometimes there are emergency patients at the front desk, all three phones are ringing – things go at a very fast pace. You have to be outgoing and really like being with people. And through all that, you have to pay attention to the details and not let anything slip by you. An outgoing person does well.
