Hello! My husband and I plan to move to the Quepos area within the next year. I am a medical coder and am able to work remotely however the current company I work for doesn’t allow employees to work outside of the U.S. I have been searching for a contract company who employs people outside the U.S. but I am having no luck. Is anyone a medical coder or know of someone who is that could give me some advice and a name of a company?
Thanks in advance!!

This may be a silly question but how would your ‘contract company’ know that you are working ‘outside of the U.S.’ anyway?
I am self-employed as a medical transcriptionist. Have you talked to your company in detail about moving abroad? As long as you keep a US bank account, they can direct deposit your pay. They won’t be operating within CR & you aren’t going to be a CR citizen so it isn’t like they will incur business tax liability in CR. As long as you are using HIPAA-compliant software to work, it seems you have an argument in favor of your ability to work abroad. I mean, seriously, look at how much medical transcription has been outsourced to India, Philippines, etc! Why wouldn’t they consider long-term employment of a US citizen who happens to live abroad? I wish I could point you to another company, but my business has stayed away from coding & focused solely on transcription so I really have no contacts. I think the MT Stars Forum has a coding section where you could pose your question. Or, maybe you should do what I did & get your own clients? 🙂
