    🎉I PASSED my certification test in first try!!! 🎉
    I was pleasantly surprised as I didn’t finish, ran out of time- only answered 89 out of the 100 questions!! I was beating myself up about second guessing myself even though Mrs Ortega made it clear not to- love it or leave it- right!!! Without this program- there is no way I would have passed, especially leaving 12 questions unanswered- and I know better then to do that! 😳
    Thanks again MCA and Mrs Ortega, you ROCK! God bless you

    I just wanted to say Thank you to Mrs. Ortega and her school MCA. I found out today that I passed the CPC exam to become a Medical Coder. This year, and after about a year of doing intense researching on different Medical Coding schools, I finally decided to take the plunge and go with MCA (Medical Coding Academy in Texas). Attending College was nothing new to me. I have been in college over 5 years and completed all my Nursing school prerequisites, along with several first semester Nursing school classes. However, due to my living circumstances, I am unable to continue with Nursing school.
    I have found through countless hours of videos, books, and research, that another area I could do is Medical Coding. I have heard so many great things of people who had started and never regretted it . I researched so many schools, and was disappointed at the "fluff" they would put on their websites and videos to draw in students. I found that many of the classes were unnecessarily assigned and charged at high prices to incoming new students who had no idea that they didn't have to even take those classes to become a Medical coder.
    I wanted to find a school that had their students best interest at heart and not the bottom line dollar that they could charge to unknowing students who would then have to spend years paying back high college costs. I already had debt from all my prerequisites for nursing school. Also I realized, it was unnecessary for these schools to charge outrageously high prices on classes that weren't even needed to pass the certification and books that were charged at almost quadruple their actual cost. That's when I found MCA. Mrs. Ortega strives to have each and everyone of her students pass the Certification Exam. She does this by her no non sense and no fluff teaching. She doesn't charge for classes that weren't required to sit for the exam, and make life even more harder for people who are single mothers and have debts from other things they have incrued from "Life".....No she doesn't do that, she doesn't charge for classes as if though you were getting a degree- when a degree is not needed to become a Medical Coder.
    After attending and completing her course, I have realized that as you go through the coding books, that all the info that she gives are actually all her "gems" that she has learned from her many years as a Coder herself. She really wants you to know your stuff, and doesn't leave you guessing and trying to fill in the missing parts on your own like what I saw other schools' videos that taught Medical Coding. She isn't stingy with her information. She gets straight to the point, ensuring every kind of learning style out there understands what they are learning.
    Mrs. Ortega has the heart of a saint, and she loves all her students and you can feel her love when you watch her teach... you would know without a doubt, that her school is exceptional and unique than all the other schools. And I can tell you first hand, she is the best teacher I have ever had, and you will not find another place that wants you to truly pass and not just take your money.

    Thanks for the video. I completed your online course. LVN who currently works for an external payer. Transitioned from UM,after my CPC-A to appeals for post service medical review. I have gained a lot of knowledge in my claims appeal review. Your course was very straight to the point. Great for adult learners. Thank you! God Bless on your future endeavors!

    Thank you great video. I have been going back and forth regarding self study vs school taught programs. I'm an LPN of 18 years. But your slide shows the CCS do you offer a certification for this particular one. I see the CPC and the study materials. Will you ever off the CCA OR CCS?

      Hi Kimberly!! I will offer the CCS and CCA late in the year God willing..working super hard on it!

      Kimberly, Really, really check out the school programs (critique)! From what I know (I almost went in that direction) you don't need the months of schooling because you don't need to know all the stuff they are going to "teach" you to pass the exam, especially with your 18 years of being an LPN. Mrs. Ortega and MCA can teach you what you need to know in a fraction of the time and a fraction of the costs. Plus the system Mrs. Ortega teaches is ingenious!! She teaches you how to pass the national certification exam and then teaches how to succeed in the real world. The school programs don't teach to pass the exam. In fact, the admissions person I was talking to didn't even seem to be aware of the national certification. I happened to do a little more searching before committing to the school route (because of the cost) and OH MY GOSH! I'm so glad I did and found Medical Coding Academy. I only have a couple weeks until my exam and then I'll be going after landing a job. And you are also taught how to do that with MCA! If I had gone the school route I was looking at, I'd still be plugging away until the middle of DECEMBER 2021! And even then I don't think I'd be prepared for the exam cause the schools don't teach you strategies for passing the exam. :0)
