Q: Will the use of electronic medical records get rid of medical record jobs?
A: No, but it will change the profession dramatically. There are too many places that still use paper records to worry too much about the EHR causing any particular upheaval at this point. Electronic records are proving to have some problems that are taking healthcare insitutions a while to iron out. The big difference in the future will be that in order to deal with medical records, you'll have to have a base of knowledge in computer science, where you didn't before. Records will still need to be dealt with, it will just be on computers, servers, disks and such instead of plain old "forms" on paper.
Q: How do you file medical records?
I am about to graduate trade school, and I am applying for a medical record job. I do not know how to file medical records, can any body help me?
The medical records is by Last name and Account number.....
A: Depends on each practices' own filing system, some go by acct number, others by Last name.... I work in a vet clinic and we are paperless.. (thank goodness!) so I don't have to go through that filing hell again!
Q: does anyone do medical records (job) from home, if so would you please tell me?
A: Please don't be discouraged but look at this:
Medical Billing Opportunities
If you are looking for a home-based job using your computer, advertisements for medical billing may be appealing. These ads appear on the Internet and in the classified sections of local newspapers. They often claim that you can make as much as $20,000 to $45,000 a year working from home full - or part-time - no experience required. The Better Business Bureau warns consumers to be careful. By responding to such ads you may be asked to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for software and other materials.
Complaints to the BBB about medical billing opportunities allege misrepresentation of potential earnings, software that does not perform as promised and misrepresentation of the market for medical billing services. The reality is that few consumers who pay for medical billing opportunities find clients or make any money, let alone earn the promised substantial income.
Competition in the medical billing market is fierce, especially for those who are new to it. Many doctors' offices process their own medical claims. Doctors who contract out their medical billing typically use established firms, not individuals working from home.
To avoid losing your money to a bogus medical billing business opportunity, the BBB and the Federal Trade Commission advise you to:
Ask the promoter to give you the names of many previous purchasers so that you can pick and choose whom to call for references. Interview the references to get a better sense of how the business works. Ask for the names of their clients and a description of their operation.
Consult with organizations for medical claims processors or medical billing businesses and with doctors in your community. Ask them about the medical billing field: How much of a need is there for this type of work? How much work does medical billing entail? What kind of training is required?
Check with the BBB, state Attorney General's office and the consumer protection agency in your area and the area where the promoter is based to learn whether there are any unresolved complaints about the business opportunity or the promoter.
If the medical billing opportunity sells another company's software, check with the software company to find out whether company representatives know of any problems with the medical billing promoter.
Before you sign an agreement, consult with an attorney, accountant or other business advisor.

Q: medical records?
ok, I haven't been to the doctor since I was a minor, on my parent's health insurance, but now my husband has a job that offers us insurance. My question is, will a doctor need any health/medical records for me? Do I need the records from the pediatricain? I have gone to Planned Parenthood for regular gyno stuff, do I need to have those records sent to my new primary care physicain? Also, does anyone know if this whole no medical records thing will be a problem, meaning, will a doctor not want to take me as a patient since I have no records since I was a kid?
A: No, no and no. You can start fresh with your new doctor. They will give you plenty of forms to fill out about your medical history. It might help you to have copies of your records, but you can do that right from your new doctor's office. Just ask for "Release of Information" forms, fill them out and send to all of the places you want information from. They may want to charge you for copying records, but it won't be a lot.
It's always good to have all the information on annual exams, mammograms, any pregnancies, surgeries, hospitalizations, etc. But you will be given a form at your new doctor and if you can remember all of that info, you don't really need actual records.~
Q: what jobs can i get in associates of health administratin-medical records?
A: You need to go back to school and learn proper spelling and grammar first before you apply for a job. Did you mean something like, "What jobs can I get with an Associate's Degree in Health Administration concentrating in Medical Records"?
Q: i am trying to find a job in the medical field. I like doing medical records. Is anyone hiring in my area?
I live in the Anderon, IN area and right now I'm working as a medical records tech, but I'm not making the kind of money that I would like to make. I'm really good at what I do, but I'm just not happy with the pay. Can someone please give me some good advice as to how to go about finding the job that I'm searching for?
I have been at this place for three years and yes, I really like the people that I work with, but the amount that I make, well, it's a little embarrasing to say. What should I do? It's also a non for profit company that I work for, too. Anyone with suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Annie
A: I know that I just got a job here in New York (no not the city...lol) and it is at a hospital in the admissions desk...the starting pay is really good full benefits for part time/full time workers, 401K and even 1 week paid vacation after 6 months after 1yr it is 2 weeks. We also get a pay increase after our 3 months training period!! Then after that a yearly raise. I suggest you apply at hospitals they always have tons of jobs like that but here it is hard to get into the hospital. Call HR dept. and ask for a listing then go fill out an appl for each here every friday they have new listings and just keep calling them to add your application to the new postings ask them what you need to do to get an interview. If you know someone that works at a hospital use them as a ref. too. Good luck!
Q: Medical records clerk job?
I just applied online. I don't have medical experience, but really need to start working somewhere in the medical field. How likely is it that I will get a call? (It's a large hospital and supposedly there were 60 positions open around the state). If I do get hired, what should I expect? Thanks!
A: I actually started off as an Medical Records Clerk. I didn't have any experience and was still considered for the job. If you have some office experience like filing or copying papers you have a good chance. However, most employers are really good at giving you a chance and training you for the job. Being a Medical Records Clerk is a good way to start off in the healthcare industry. It truly gives you a sense of where you would like to go next in health care. It taught me how to deal with patient confindentiality when dealing with patient's medical records which is very serious. You will truly learn a lot. I would really pursue it. Who knows you might become in the near future a RN, Radiology Technologist or MRI Technologist like myself. I'm not sure how likely it is that you may get a call back, but just keep your fingers crossed, believe and hope for the job and it shall come to pass. Good luck!
Q: What legal rights to privacy do I have/does Daddy have concerning pregnancy medical records?
LEGAL/MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY, PLEASE.
I am pregnant, single, have an excellent job & insurance. The father and I broke up; he went back to his ex-old lady and made it clear it's over between us. I have notified him that I am pregnant, thinking it's the right thing to do. Now he is demanding medical proof. I have it, would like to supply it. What I want to know is, can he get access to my medical records involving this baby? Do I need to supply proof to him legally? I don't want to be a beeyotch to him, I just want to protect myself and my baby and do the right thing at the same time. I don't want to cut him off if he wants to be a Dad, but I've never been able to carry a baby full term, this might be my last chance (I am 47) I just don't need anything upsetting me right now. I heard from a mutual friend that 1 yr ago he made his old lady get a 2nd trimester abortion because he "wasn't ready to be a father;" I fear he might try to get custody since I am single.
A: If he is the father he has a right to know if it is his child. I love that you want to have your baby and raise him or he by yourself and I pray for you and wish nothing but the best. Have the test and make the prick pay for it. I wish more woman were like you and you make me proud to be a man who loves strong women who stand up for what they believe. call me maybe we can talk.
