[nabop] Scoping and or Coding/billing question

[Lisa D. Porter]

Hi all,
I'm new to this list and wanted to see a post to make sure it was still 
active. I just did so am sending my post. This may have been covered 
before, but I just joined this list, so please forgive. Are there any 
people that are, have been or know any blind people that do Scoping or 
Medical Coding/Billing? If so, please either contact me off list or here 
as I'm very interested in getting into the Coding/Billing area for a 
job. I have a friend that's interested in the Scoping. We're both 
looking into getting involved with schools for the training and would 
really appreciate any information that could be given. Thanks.
Li
