As I am approaching taking my CPC exam this week, I have been "looking" into the job world once again. I have been searching and talking with people and came across this little snippet.....written by a gal who does some helping in the online job world!
"Thought perhaps you ALL could use some VERY, VERY HOPEFUL news……
~
by one of my well-connected friends told me that more and more ‘State/Federal guidelines’ are being ‘written/re-written’ to REQUIRE US-based employees for state/federal (think Medicaid/Medicare programs) as opposed to off-shore employees.
~
Apparently the guidelines are being revised/rewritten to require that anyone with access to the ‘portals’ MUST reside within the USA…..which means we will very likely be seeing many, many jobs coming back to the USA which have previously been outsourced to other countries…both in Asia and the Mid-East. UHG has recently returned a large portion of it’s off-shored work back to the USA…hence the Large hiring project that they have in Tennessee.

With the impending implementation of I-10 and this AMAZING news…I think it is safe to ......EXPECT HIM/coding job opportunities to EXPLODE in the very near future!!!!!
~
WHAT A FANTASTIC TIME for all you newly-credentialed coders to be entering the field! MAKE SURE YOU ARE SUFFICIENTLY PREPARED NOW!!!
I thought that was a nice thought.....maybe more opportunities out there for all the newly credentialed folks!!!
That is great news! Thanks Kathryn.
That is so awesome and encouraging, Kathryn! What a great field, and great timing, we have chosen. Thanks for sharing it, and I hope all went well on the CPC exam!
