What is the expected salary? any info anyone can provide is appreciatedI am looking into getting into medical billing/coding, something in medical field? i have many questions?
they are not in high demand, all the schools want you to believe they are though. I am a medical assistant and it took almost 2 years to find a job. I worked it for a year then I had to quit due to personal reasons and now i have been without a job for 2 years. I have been looking for the past 6 months and never find ant job openings. Also you can get a job in medical billing with out schooling for it. My mom did. She had never did anything medical and got a job in the billing dept at a clinic. Learned it all on the job.


An online course through a local technical school is your best choice, it will be cheaper and just as good. they can help you get a job too, well at least they try to!I am looking into getting into medical billing/coding, something in medical field? i have many questions?
Online schools are so-so if you already have a degree. However you wont make much more then 12-14 an hour. I work in a medical company.





If you want to be in the medical field I'd sugguest going for something like radiology tech or surgical tech. those make a bit more money and seem to be more exciting.
they are in high demand and it is a stable job that requires you to use your skills check out PureMedicalJobs.com for more
