Of all these certificates, I did not see Medical Coder. This job required alot of studying to get the certificates, the more you have, the more marketable you are. Coders work for 1) themselves, 2) in nursing homes, 3) hospitals 4) Dr's offices, and many other places. Coders "code" the medical treatment given. If the paperwork submitted isn't coded properly, Medicare and insurance companies don't pay or reimburse the facility. This work has to be done manually, a computer cannot pick out everything that is to be charged. Dr. offices typically contract this out to facilities to to private individuals. Look into this. Lots of room for advancement, flexibility to move around, and maybe someday, start your own coding company. Good luck Bill
