Looking for feedback as to whether my age, 53, would be a problem in getting hired as a coder if I switch fields to HIM. I do have 12 years experience as a Medical Technologist (MT-ASCP) in clinical laboratories and a Bachelors in Biology. I guess I would just get a basic coding certification to get started because that seems like the quickest and cheapest way to going. We have three hospitals in the area and lots of outpatient and physician office type facilities. Anyone have an opinion?
