<<1. I was wondering if an online diploma from Pennfoster is enough to land a job in this field. Am I being realistic? >>
2. Also, are there enough job opportunities in Los Angeles?
3. Will a bankruptcy affect my chances of getting a job?
<<5. Is being trilingual in English, Spanish, and Portuguese a plus in this field? I also have a web design, internet marketing background<< Certainly it can be a plus if you maybe start out looking for the bilingual offices, there are many of those
Roused my curiousity. Does anyone know - can a doctor get a medical license in the U.S. if he cannot speak and write English? And - are there Practice Management Systems / Billing software programs out there for sale in the U.S. that have the CPT and DX codes loaded into them in a language other than English? Until now, it never occurred to me that these would exist, but maybe they do. If billing software in a language other than English does not exist in the U.S., then being multi-lingual as a biller or coder (rather than front office desk) would be useful only if the doctor was writing in a language other than English. Here there would be a need for someone to translate other-language chart notes into English billing codes.
