Can a medical coder also work as a medical secretary?
Asked by Mary
I am thinking about taking some medical coding courses and possibly being a medical coder but I am also thinking about being a medical secretary. I know secretaries should have some coding knowledge, so I thought I could become a certified medical coder. I want to be able to do either profession depending on job opportunities.

Best Answer:
Yes in theory they would be able to, but you would also have to take some further training into more the office area, as medical coding is a very specialized field.

Medical Assistants are usually the office secretaries
