Much less so than it used to be.

This profession is being offshored at the speed of light. Overseas transcription services have MD's doing transcription now, and very cheaply, and now voice-recognition software is also coming on. Hospitals and many physicians are so bottom-line oriented that they won't pay for proper editing and quality control, and they aren't seeing how dangerous a position they're putting themselves in.
But I agree that physician billing can be a good work-at-home field. Just avoid anyone who wants to you put money up front, or insists that you buy your equipment from them. And be sure to get a good understanding of both diagnostic and procedural coding, or you'll find yourself quickly buried in rejected claims.
