Going for certification is wise option. As coding and billing require you to clear certain exams. Modules keep varying as per industry standards. You should go through an organisation so as to keep yourself updated.  :)

--- Quote ---Self learning is the best way to learn anything. But there some courses which require a reliable certification, Medical billing course is one of them. So, according to my opinion you should go for a organisation, to learn more professionally.   Internet is the best platform where you can find such kind of organisations. Research well, before hiring any one for you.

I do not AGREE.. Certification is ONLY as good as the course behind it. THERE IS NO NATIONAL Or even NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED Certification for medical billing. If your being told that you are being misled.    From the way ORGANIZATION was spelled I'm guessing those two pieces of advice came from OFFSHORE and may even be from same person... none-the-less. I don't want to mislead you.. while yes it's always possible to learn something online, this business is LIKELY not one of them. Try to stay away from the companies that claim you can do this online for a few hundred bucks.

DMK:
From a self-learned point of view, I would recommend finding a job in the health care field in a entry-level position.  You need to find out if you're even interested in the field.  There is nothing worse than finding out after you've done a ton of training that you hate the industry.

Maybe attending a few seminars or working part time in an office or talking with other billers or coders would help you find out if you would like it.

Don't get me wrong, there's so many things I love about what I do, but it's not for everyone.  It's labor intensive, it's critical that there are no mistakes, and it's very important that you understand the responsibilities and are willing to take on the risks.
