Where do medical coding and billing professionals work?
As a medical coding and billing specialist, you will most likely work in a professional setting and closely interact with other healthcare professionals. Typically, inpatient coders work in hospitals in pleasant and comfortable offices, working a full or part time schedule. There are also limited the opportunities to work from home and enjoy: no commute, no daycare costs, increased flexibility, and spending work breaks with the ones you love most. Regardless of whether you work in a professional office or at home, you will be entrusted with autonomy to fulfill your key role in the medical records process. In hospitals — where health information departments often are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — coding and billing specialists often have flexible schedules and can choose from day, evening, and night shifts. Overtime hours may also be available.
