This is the same score as the free check.
For one manager
Say whether the role is records, coding support, or a registry, and whether it is remote. Ask about the credential and the case volume.
License and training
States do not license this work. Employers usually want an AHIMA credential such as RHIT or RHIA, and cancer registries usually want the CTR from NCRA. Read the posting for the credential the registry requires.
