I was on office worker in a small privately-owned medical clinic for a while back in 2009-10. One day my boss (the owner, office manager, accountant, medical coder & biller) handed me a stack of charts and the ICD book and told me to find the right numbers for what was in the charts. I loved it! She'd have me do that every now and then when she was falling behind on it. I thought it was just general paperwork. I wish I had realized I could have a job doing just that!

I completed the Preppy program in May. Step 4 is LOOOONG but Core of it. Currently trying to practice coding, and get my AAPC Certification

[AMG_Creates]

On Step 4 Lesson 9 of the Preppy courses. It's hard to cram it all into my head but I know it'll be better when I'm DOING it rather than just taking notes.

[charlenefranks]

Diving in to the medical field as a complete beginner and taking a course on this while working full time and it’s scary and feels overwhelming at the age of 42. But I am hoping with your videos I can do this.

[MrsKRRJ]

I wish I had seen this channel before I spent 2 years getting an AS in medical coding and billing. Especially since it really didn't go in depth on how to code or bill. Now I find myself starting over at 43. I hope I can do it.

[chrissy]

I wish I knew this before, I got my billing and coding certification from a different school and I’m unable to get a job so now I’m going back to get it through AHIMA

[jaymehayes]

I am currently working on my credential through aapc. I personally am finding all of the rules to coding extremely overwhelming. I am doing it on my own. It just seems in this day and age that there must be a more efficient and streamlined way of coding. Software perhaps.

[Jesswatchtheseries]

A HIM degree is what im aiming for. 1. More money (in Florida) if i have one.

2 . Im not an online learner i need to be in an actual classroom.

Been doing insurance verification for a hospital system for nearly 10 years now. Considering some related avenues to keep things fresh and raise the pay ceiling a bit. Appreciate your videos.

[tms]

Do you need to be fast as a medical coder?

[theycallmeashe]

I’m doing the whole ‘I’m 40+ so let’s try to do a new career’ phase of life. Was a phlebotomist and went to school for MA but life got out of hand after graduating, then got partial paralysis (is there a ‘didn’t eat the salad and walk off a broken back like the doc said’ code? 😅). So not new to medical stuff but it’s been a few years. Would that help getting with this sort of job both with understanding and being getting employed?

[HeavenWithouttheE]

???Just retired from the V.A Hospital in Nashville and worked in cardiology but early on in my career, I was an outpatient clinic clerk. We did our own CPT codes from drs orders and progress notes…I loved it! I am now 58 years old and want to code pt…I sure hope there is not age discrimination?? Surely not…Hate the billing aspect. Just want to learn icd-10 and work pt for 10 or so years…what do you think that looks like in my case? Thank you in advance! Kelley from Nashville :))

[alishasoto]

Hi! Loving your videos so far! Took the masterclass but had a couple of questions: does Preppy give physical textbooks needed for the exam or do we need to purchase separately? Also, does Preppy include medical terminology & anatomy and physiology courses?

[LadieBjj]

It’s hard. Be prepared to learn Medical Terminology and Anatomy because it is hard.

[asguegliaas]

Question I passed my CPC I have a job interview for path and lab coding do you have a video or website that shows how to dissect a medical record for example I have a practice MR that I have to code for Resp Path Panel and ABR Panel, do you offer one on one teaching LOL jk... but seriously any advice would help

[sunitapandav]

Hi... How to prepare case scenario in ccs examination

[agriffith]

The program Im in will prepare me for Certified Professional Coder (CPC) and Certified Coding Associate (CCA) exams. Is this good or should i be considering different training?

[alchemywithalea]

Wait… I’m confused… so if I have kids and pets, I shouldn’t do this job if I wanna work from home? Did I understand that correctly that a lot of employers will kinda frown upon that?

[lifeofbeautyk]

Thank you for all your videos. I will but haven't yet watched your masterclass. I have a question though, the local online program i am considering is 18, 000 it says

Certifications

Student are eligible for certification for:
(NCICS) National Certified Insurance and
Coding Specialist (NCICS) from the National
Center for Competency Testing (NCCT).

The Medical Billing and Coding Specialist Diploma Program is

medical billing and coding field through a combination of both
clinical and administrative training. Students will learn and practice

billing using the ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS II coding system manuals.
The program is focused on preparing students for certification.

I know that was a lot sorry, what do you recommend? Thank you for your time and help! I am still in the process of binge watching all your videos.
