The Home Based Medical Coding Model

Traditionally, medical coding has been a profession that has required medical coders to be present in the hospital or clinic where services are performed. And in truth, this is still largely the expectation of employers.

However, it should be noted that the technology to allow medical coders to work from home has been around for some time. Resistance to the home based medical coding model has typically come from entrenched bureaucrats within hospital systems who have become accustomed to the idea of complete control over the coding process. Some of this is understandable.

But professional managers should take some queues from the medical transcription industry which has successfully transformed itself to a home based production model while adding incredible efficiency to the production process.
