I’m trying to figure out what I want to do career wise…again (lol) and for some time I’ve been looking into medical coding/billing. I’ve been working in healthcare for over 5 years now, mostly administrative roles. I would like to know if it’s worth pursuing before spending a lot of money on certifications, so if anyone has any suggestions or advice I’d greatly appreciate it.

If you figure it out let me know as well, I am also in administrative roles but I was thinking of getting into coding and billing but I'm not sure if it's worth it to get certificates before I even know if I can deal with the work
