So, You Want To Be a Medical Coder And Start Your Own Services From Home?

Medical Coding Continuing Education (CEU)

One big concern for professionals who need annual Continuing Education Units (CEU's) is lack of availability and time. They often work full time and have extremely tight schedules, along with their own family obligations which makes attending workshops and classes difficult.

Certification is very important step. NHA offers two paths toward certification: the NHA National Certification Exam and their Home Study Certification Program for experienced medical coders and billers.

Medical Coding Workshops

The need for continuing education programs and workshops to reinforce medical terminology and national coding rules and regulations for medical coding professionals is at an all-time high. Employers ask that their staff partake in continuing education and workshops designed specifically for professionals with medical coding and billing responsibilities.

Obtaining Annual CEUs

 The Challenges:

Availability: Many professionals in the medical coding and billing industry have two or three credentials and certifications for which they need to earn annual CEU's. This spurs the increased need for a continuous flow of fresh CEU workshops, seminars, and programs in any given year. However publishers, organizers, and online educators are hard pressed to meet these ever increasing demands.

Cost: Participation in seminars and workshops that offer CEU's for coders can be quite expensive and therefore too costly for the average coder.

Travel: Most seminars and workshops that offer CEU's are often far away, as a matter of fact, so far away they require advance flight and hotel reservations.

Employers: Some employers fail to recognize the value of continuing education and avoid to offer continuing education meetings and reimbursement for their staff's educational expenses because of their own budgetary restraints.

The National Healthcareer Association (NHA) recognized this need and offers professional credentials, workshops, and opportunities to offer much sought after continuing education programs. Thousands of health care professionals earn their annual Continuing Education Units through them, including medical coders and billers.
