Hello CjHannah,





I am not surprised to find that you haven’t gotten a response to your question. Most people (especially those in the field) are leery about saying anything about a company, course or vendor because of the litigation and cease and desist letters that usually follows. Hence, I will say this:





If you have the time to attend a good local college, vocational or trade school then go that route. It can be expensive but you will greatly benefit from the face-to-face interaction and coaching you will receive. If you don’t have the time or money to go to a traditional learning institution then take an online course but the problem is that there are so many that it's an overwhelming task to choose a good and affordable one.





I have hired several employees during my time within the coding industry and the most knowledgeable ones that I have come across all got their education from the same online medical billing course. Then they took that education and sat for the National Certification Exam given by either the AAPC or AHIMA (they also passed on the first time taking it so that in itself speaks volumes).





When I ask these potential employees why they choose the course/school they did this was their response:





“I chose them because they give you a very well-rounded education, great phone-email-fax-mail support, a choice of different advancement levels geared toward the goal I was trying to achieve and a slew of bonuses that came with the course instead of as an add-on with an extra charge. Here are a few extras: up-to-date equipment used in the industry, a copy of the course in hard copy, unlimited number of final exam retakes, 2 year graduate job database membership, letters of recommendation, reasonable payment options, evaluation of your resume for employment, evaluation of your home based medical billing, coding or medical transcription sales/marketing letter for those that were starting their own businesses and a hotline to help you after you become employed just to name a few.





So here’s one online school/course that I know I can count on when we are looking for new employees to join our company because they (potential employees) are very well versed in all the aspects of medical billing, coding and transcription. Once you get to the website click on the “Medical Coding” link on the left hand side of the page under the heading “Health Sciences”:
