I’ve spent a lot of money getting my Certified Professional Coding Certification for medical coding but I’ve yet to even get an interview. Most of these entry level positions/companies want years of experience doing the job. I have 12 years of experience in insurance including medical bills/records. I’ve tailored my resume for postings and included cover letters. Any advice would be appreciated!

12 yrs in insurance is not nothing, that’s actually the part i’d lean on harder. A lot of entry level postings say “coding experience” but they still value people who already know claims, records, denials, and how messy medical docs can be.

I’d tighten the resume around transferable wins instead of just duties. Stuff like volume handled, accuracy, turn around time, denials reduced, records reviewed, billing systems used, anything with numbers. Also make sure the CPC is near the top and not buried under older insurance roles.

If you’re getting no interviews at all, i’d also sanity check ATS formatting and keyword match against each posting, cause sometimes the resume looks fine to us but gets parsed weird. I’ve seen people compare their resume against the jd in ResumeJudge, Jobscan, or SkillSyncer and catch missing terms that were killing callbacks.

One weird thing that matters in coding: are you applying to hospital, physician, or outpatient roles? those 3 can want very diff experience even when the title looks basically the same.
