Medical Coding
Job Description
Nestem Technologies is offering:
🎓 Training programs in Medical Coding
📄 “Placement assistance” after training
🏢 Entry into US Healthcare BPO jobs (mainly Chennai/Bangalore/Hyderabad/Pune)
👉 So the real structure is:
Training first → certification → then placement (not guaranteed job offer upfront)
📘 Training Programs Offered
1. 🟢 Medical Coding for Beginners (MCB)
Duration: 90 hours
Covers:
Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology
ICD-9-CM
CPT-4
HCPCS
HIPAA basics
Sample chart coding
👉 This is entry-level foundation course
2. 🔵 Advanced Certification (ACMC)
Duration: 120 hours
Focus:

Exam-oriented training
👉 This is for people targeting:
AAPC certification (CPC)
Higher-paying coding jobs
🎯 Who They Target
They accept graduates from:
Life Science

Dental / Physiotherapy / Ayurveda (BAMS, BHMS, etc.)
👉 Basically: any healthcare-related graduate
💰 Salary Reality (Important)
They mention:
₹9,600 – ₹13,700 per month initially
⚠️ Reality check:
This is training-level or entry trainee salary
Very low compared to industry standards
Actual coding jobs later pay more, but only after:
skill + experience + certification
⚠️ Key Things to Understand
🚩 1. “Placement guaranteed” wording is misleading
Usually means placement assistance, not guaranteed job
🚩 2. Paid training model
“Charges applicable” = you pay for course
🚩 3. Entry into real jobs depends on:
Passing exams (CPC / internal tests)
Communication + anatomy knowledge
Performance in training
🧭 What this is good for
This is suitable if you:
Are a fresher in life sciences
Want to enter medical coding industry from scratch
Are okay with low salary initially + long-term growth path
📈 Career Path (Realistic)
Training → Junior Coder (₹15K–₹25K) → Certified coder (₹25K–₹50K) → Senior coder / QA (₹50K–₹1L+) → Manager roles
🧠 Bottom line
This is:
🎓 A paid training institute + placement pipeline, not a direct job opening
