[Blindtlk] medical billing

[Judy Jones]

Yes, Iyou do have to be certified in Medical Billing And Coding, and you 
also need to be certified with the ICD9 insurance coding.  My daughter went 
through a vocational technical college to get her certification.

I understand from her that many medical offices now scan in their 
documentation, but whether or not that is an accessible scanning system is 
another story.  Some scanning systems turn the documents into image files 
which would do us no good.  However, the agency I work for is going to be 
going to total scanning, and their system will be accessible, as I am told.

No I don't Justin, but  Amy's right.  The field is fiercely competitive and
I know sighted who  are  struggling for  work in the  field.  Coding is more
likely to get a  job--it's more specific and a part of  the  billing
process. It to needs to be certified.  I hear the tests are hard. It's all
done on  a computer though.  IF it talks, it's possible.  From what I hear
medical records are not  accessible to us easily yet.   ACB CareerNet might
have someone if  NFB doesn't.

Good Luck!
