23 Work at Home Medical Jobs To Apply For Today

It used to be the case that those in the various medical professions were limited to strictly on-site job options, but that's rapidly changing. As high speed internet connections become more prevalent, video conferencing, which used to require bleeding edge web-building chops, is now a relatively commonplace — making it so that work at home medical jobs exist!

Especially following Covid, there's been a rise in the popularity of telehealth, which has greatly expanded the work options for those with medical expertise.

Medical Coding

In the medical industry, there is a shorthand coding system used to describe various procedures and diagnoses. A coder is responsible for taking medical records and transforming them into code using a specific set of technical guidelines, mostly for the purpose of easier data-management.

If you're looking to get training in medical billing/coding, CareerStep is one of the most reputable schools offering certification.

Telephone Triage

This is a remote medical diagnostic job where you take calls from people who have health concerns and help them determine the most likely causes based on their symptoms.

In most cases, you'll then give them advice on the next step to take for their medical care needs. Thanks to telehealth, triage is something you can do from home.

  • ARO – Hires for telehealth call center work. Calls are outbound. You must be an LPN or RN to be considered.

Clinical Research

This job involves monitoring and analyzing data from medical trials. A degree in life sciences is generally required for positions in this field, and many jobs are only given to those with a PhD.

  • Labcorp – Hires people in the US, Canada, and Europe to be home-based clinical research associates. Visit the jobs database and search “home-based” to find the home jobs.

Medical Scribes

Medical scribes work at home or onsite listening to recordings of encounters between doctors and their patients.
