    Just wanted to drop by to say thank you so much for this much-needed help. I did an online course with a technical college and I did the homework to make it through, not retaining much. Left overwhelmed and lost, I was left with a feeling of defeat. After crying on the way to work today, I remembered I had seen one of your posts. God does place people in your path for a reason, and for that, I am thankful. Pray you and your family have a blessed holiday season❤

      I feel like that to with my online course but looking at the AMCI videos visual kind of showed me how to look up the codes and going over the guidelines and they got us learning pharmacology which is kind of tough. I love the medical terminology and anatomy and how to abstract the information from the case studies. I also love Shamrya videos she showed me how-to visual look up a code. But I also see a lot of people from my online school got jobs from companies listed on linken.

    I started at the front desk in a small doctors office, and kept gaining skills 25 years ago..and moved up to billing and coding..I still haven't taken the Exam, but during the pandemic I took classes just to add to my on the job training I already had..moral of the story, get on the job training 1st, if possible..I know plenty of ppl that have taken the classes and have no job because they have no experience. The channel holder is correct, u have do a job change if u are not in the revenue cycle already.

    Would you recommend this route over going to a community college? (fasfa included)? If yes or no, why? Im currently in the process of finding a job so outta pocket isnt a option, so college looks better. But when I am able to find a job, would this route still be the better option?

    • @PrincessTiana83
      @PrincessTiana83 Месяц назад +2

      I think you should do the college route with financial aid paying for your classes and books🤷🏾‍♀️ I start 2 of my classes next semester, and all my classes and books are paid for.
      So that's what I would suggest for you...over this course she's speaking of.
