Are medical coders required to deal with doctor's handwriting? (Newbie question)

--- Quote ---a lot of docs are using EMR now, so handwriting would not be an issue there. Also operative notes are always typed/computerized so you are ok there too...I would not let the issue of handwriting stop you- coding can be a very lucrative career if you are willing to enter the field at entry level (receptionist/charge poster etc...) good luck!

I agree, many are utilizing EMR however remember NON medicare/Medicaid providers are not, physicians who are older in solo practices are not. I know some who based their opt-out of Medicare on EMR being forced on them along with the ACA. I can't speak on other areas, but where I am.. only one in 10 physicians is utilizing EMR. JMHO
