I’m interested in Medical Billing and Coding but I want to move overseas in a few years and I don’t know if I can do the work from there. Can you provide me with some information in this matter. Thank You.
Response:
If you currently have an employer or can find one who will allow you to work remotely it may be possible. However an employer may be reluctant to have work done overseas to the difficulties of ensuring HIPPA compliance (patient privacy and security of data).
If you are planning to work for yourself, probably the biggest obstacle would be getting clients. I don’t know how to convince a client to outsource their work without meeting in person and being able to occasionally meet with them. Client’s we’ve had like to be able to meet with us occasionally and it really helps to foster a personal relationship with the client.
Hope this helps.
