Answer: Yes, if you have extensive training in using the industry standard codebooks like ICD-9CM. You should also be fairly familiar with medical terminology and know how to work with the encoding software that are used for the job. You may be able to teach yourself enough to pass the certifying examination, but if I were you I'd enroll for a medical billing and coding training at a vocational school before I sit for any credentialing exam. It won't cost you much and you can even do it online, so why take the risk of failing the exam because of inadequate knowledge?
What is so hard about medical billing and coding?
It's not really all that hard. You DO need to pay close attention to the code descriptions, and the coding guidelines at the beginning of each section though. It also helps to have knowledge of basic medical terminology, and an excellent medical dictionary handy to look up unfamiliar medical terms as well. You can get formal training for this now as you can now take online courses or training programs as a lot of providers are now accredited and approved to sell courses online. You can opt for this kind of training if you need classes that needs no traveling to get to, needs no schedule and doesn't cost too much. These trainings doesn't take years or months to finish, you can do it at home. If you don't know what some of the terms mean, it will be hard to know what you need to look for in indexes of the coding manuals--thats where the medical dictionary can be a real help.
