I would like to be able to keep them for about 9 months if possible. The chocolates have a cream filling in them and some are just nuts, raisins, coconut etc. One of the most frequently asked questions around here is how long can you freeze candy and other tips on storing candy for the long term.
AHIMAâs online Coding Basics Program is self-paced, but can be completed in about 15 months. Many online certificate programs in billing and coding can be completed in less than a year, but if you are looking for a degree, an associate degree program is two years, and a bachelorâs is four years, classroom or online.
That translates to around $15 an hour, and you will find plenty of job postings for medical coders offering that wage. $10-15 an hour is all you can expect without certification. With certification you have a chance to earn more. The AAPC also shows a jump in 9% in earnings for coders with a two year degree. If you have a four-year degree, you can make 21% more than that. If you have a masterâs degree, add another leap of 46% in earnings, up from the bachelorâs degree earnings. So you can see how at the lower end, you would barely make enough to support yourself, much less a family. At the upper end, you could support yourself and others and still live comfortably. According to this data, a degree is a worthwhile investment for a medical coder. So I strongly urge you to go for an associateâs degree to start with.
