    Coders assign codes based on diagnoses of the patient.

    Billers submit the information to insurance companies to get paid.

    I don't think billers work at home, but I'm not sure. To work at home as a coder, you have to have at least 3 years of experience, usually.

    Ask your professor for more info. :)
