Thank you beautiful!! I am currently in a certification program and I am learning more from you than I am learning from my instructor!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
This is just superb, been searching for "cpc medical coding certification" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Lukesey CPC Carnage - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.
Same here! It's nice to get your feet wet n see if its something for you before you go and spend on a school. Truly appreciate these videos and the hard work going into them!
God bless you for being such a kind human being with such passion for your profession and for helping others. I got laid off and my last day of work is tomorrow, and I am taking this as an opportunity to start something new, and your channel has truly inspired me. Thank you so much! God bless... P.S. you are so beautiful!
I started an online coding course, and I have been super lost (new to coding) your videos have already helped me out so much. Thank you so much for making them
Coach, please know that your time and effort in providing this channel full of experience, resources and information is extremely appreciated. I am close to tears. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you.
This is so wonderful. I have already learned so much in just a few videos and don't feel so overwhelmed in my classes. What a wonderful heart you have, God bless!
Wow! Love this channel. It breaks it all down, I had been having a little difficulty in reconcilling all i had learnt in my online Billing and Coding. This channel brings it all together for me. thank you.
Sorry for crowding in on this comment but I am really trying to find information. I want to get my bachelors in medical billing and coding. I have no idea which school's graduates are getting jobs like this. I was just wondering what school you went to? I'm looking for an online school but I have no idea which one is taken seriously.
thank you for being a great teacher and resource. I'm on a CPC program right now. just aced my med. terminology ad anatomy this week. and were starting beginning coding next week ! I am a fan ! I will try to watch all you videos to get more info and tips !
I’m so happy I found your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I’ve been in the healthcare industry for quite some time, specifically in claims. Currently I’m an adjuster for appeals & grievances. I’m at a point in my career where I need something more. I took a coding class a few years ago & due to health issues, I had to stop before the class was completed. I did take the CPC exam but did not pass. I really want to try it again & your channel is giving me the extra push I need. 😊❤️ THANK YOU
Wow! You are a God send Angel. I am soo glad I came across your channel before I even begin my classes. I have learned so much just by watching your videos. Thank s for sharing your knowledge with us future Coders
I wish i had known this code master taught a class. She is amazing and breaks down everything, helping me to understand what I am doing! The class I am taking not so much. I highly recommend this code master to everyone I know taking coding.
thank you so much for posting these videos! I was so close to giving up on my classes until I found you!! thank you again your a major blessing in my life and you are greatly appreciated - Callie
I'm so grateful for your selflessness and sharing your knowledge. I am studying in a program with Penn Foster in hopes of gaining the knowledge needed to take my CCA test. Your videos are absolutely amazing and so inspirational. I hope that God continues to watch over you and reward you with the desires of your heart because of this good work you have set forth. God Bless and thank you so much, you have no idea what this is doing for my life
Erica T how is the program so far? Penn Foster seems to be promoting the CBCS certification which doesn’t seem legit. I’m wondering how well it actually prepares students for the CCA or CPC.
I just found your channel and I am so happy that I did ! I am 20 and currently enrolled in an online medical coding course so I can become certified. I now look forward to your videos, you've been really helpful and informative.
just found your channel and Im so glad you have your videos numbered. It makes it easy to find which one is next :) Im starting school for my RHIT degree next month and am excited about learning more.
I just want to say Ms. Coach God Bless you because I am in my third year of working in a entry level position in the medical field where I am wanting to transition over to billing and coding and I really want to learn hands on information. I stumbled to this channel while I was looking at another school checking reviews. I still want to find a school while doing this because your words and the way you present them is helping me to understand especially how the two organizations are is great. Thank you so very much for that!
Just found your channel ,and I am already filled with gratitude. I'm still on the fence ,but I''l watch as much of your videos as time allowed. Thank you.
Hi Ms CodeMaster Coach. I just wanted to say God bless you for creating these videos! I was looking to begin courses this week in this field, so I started doing my research and came across your AWESOME site! For you to take YOUR time & effort creating videos to HELP OTHERS (of which you do not know at all) says a great deal about your beautiful character! I know YOUR videos will assist me GREATLY as I embark upon this new venture! God bless you!
I stumbled on your videos while searching some information regarding the differences between ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, and CPT! I haven't looked through all your videos, so don't know if you're also covering reimbursement. You are providing a wealth of knowledge with these videos! I'm working on an assignment now that I'm struggling with and that's why I started searching for help online. Thank you!
I just want to let you know I'm in joyful tears that I have found this channel. I graduated with honors from school as a Certified Medical Billing & Coding Specialist. The school I attended only offered the NHA certification testing. I passed that testing, but I have noticed that most places are looking for someone with at least 2 years experience and either the AAPC or AHIMA certification. I am so bummed out, but I try to remain positive that I will get hired because of my overall experience in the medical field. I have been a CNA for over 20 years. I am going to delve into these videos because I am determined to work at home as a certified profession coder, because I have 4 year old special needs child, and I need to make sure if something happenes to her medically, I can be available for her without jeopardizing my job.
I want to thank you so much for introducing me to these programs, I was interested in them a year ago but didn't think to go hereto get all the info that I needed to start. I will be starting this year for sure, Thank you again.
Thank you for providing this educational program. I have been searching for information regarding medical coding in order to work from home. Again, thank you.
Thank you! I ordered these books and they are expensive - I totally agree! I have the 2018 ICD-10 and CPT books as well as the Study Guide and Practical Application workbook. When I got them, I was overwhelmed because they are really big and I just let them sit for a couple of weeks. However, I want to work from home and I have been looking into this industry for several years but never made a move. Now that I have, I see that there is a LOT of information to absorb and you are SOOOO helpful and full of information. THank you soo much! I am really beginning to understand this and I am not afraid of looking through the books any more. I want to start this year out with a bang!!!! Working for myself at home is something that I really want to do!
Thank you so much for your videos... you have explained what coding is so perfect. I’ve been a AUA for almost 10yrs and I’m thinking about going to school for coding. You’ve given me so much to think about... going to check out these 2 organizations tonight. 😁
I am so happy I found your channel before I signed up for a $900 workshop. Yesterday I binge watched & took notes on the first 10 of the numbered videos and 3 of the Medical Terminology videos. I have to catch up. Question: would studying your channel qualify me to join the AAPC as a Non AAPC Student? That $50 difference can go toward books! Thank you for what you're doing!
Steve Barton thanks for the response! I’m excited, but nervous. I work full time-but ready for a career change. Best of luck to you. How much longer do you have?
Hello, I'm amazed so far with your channel. This is great for people who are interested and are on the fence about it. Question, I've researched and almost all of the jobs require 1-2 years experience. How do you get the experience if someone is not willing to give a newly certified person a chance? What have been your experiences? Can you work from home for a facility out of state in order to increase your chances of getting your first job? Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
Codemaster Coach I have 3 weeks left in my medical terminology class, in the mean time I will go to the websites and check out the associations that you speak about.
Hello Code Master Coach! I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. They are extremely helpful to me. I wanted to know if you have done a video on Neoplasms, if not can you? Again your videos have help to explain coding to me while going through my coding experience.
I need all the help you can give me. Where can I find some practice scenarios that I can be proactive and start looking up codes? Is there anything you can provide or is there something on the web I want to be ready for when I have to take the AAPC exam?
Amazing I'm so glad I found your channel today I did a quick scan and I cannot believe all the content you have available! This is Definitely just what I need..I took a billing and coding program at my local community college but it really only prepared me for billing. I was able to land a job that I have had for about two years, but I have found what I really want to do is coding. Specifically surgery coding as I currently work in an orthopedic and sports medicine clinic. I have gained an interest in surgery billing and would love to do the coding also. Do you think a focus on inpatient orthopedic sx coding will be too limiting when it comes to finding employment? I also just want to say looking at jobs I would be going for in the future I see that alot of coders are allowed to work from home! That is something that is extremely appealing to me as I am a single mom! THANK YOU AGAIN!!
You are welcome K. Beckom. I think Orthopedic and sports medicine is an area that is really big today and the opportunity to code in that area will grow even more. So, excellent idea. And yes, most coders now work from home.
Hi! I am really enjoying your videos. I would like to watch all of them as I may do so. I wanted to know if you had any suggestions on how to go about getting into a medical office or the foot in the door advice? I have some college with Med Term and some A & P also was a nurse tech. I also am planning to take CPC from the AAPC website. I would love to hear your advice. Thank you for sharing such great info!
Hello 👋. Love your style and energy. I enjoy your teaching seriously. Question: In your opinion which is better 1.) AHIMA? 2.) AAPC? 3.) In the future can you be associated with both? I’m currently setting up a path to get started with AAPC because I can’t understand if AHIMA is offering any classes at this time. Now that I’m watching this video I don’t want to feel like I missed out on anything. Thank you and can’t wait to get started. Many blessings to you 🥰
thanks for your videos!!! I'm preparing for my rhit exam and these videos are helping me soo much! Can you post a list with the most frequently used codes? ...hope you keep posting more videos thanks :)
Hello, coach I am glad I found you and this is the channel I was looking for. Thank you for the video it is so good English is my second language,do I have to be a fluent speaker to be a coder? thank you in advance.
+Melat Negash Glad to know you were looking for a channel like this. That makes me more determined to generate more videos. As far as English being your second language, no you do not have to be a fluent speaker. Make sure you understand Medical Terminology so that you understand what is documented in the medical record. We only code what is documented. If you can do that, you should be fine. I will be doing a Medical Terminology video soon. New video coming soon.
I am a licensed massage therapist and Mom to a child with special needs, so I have experience in the medical field. My goal is to not only work from home, but from the ROAD in an RV with my boys! 😀 Any advice you could give me on which certificate to go for would be very helpful!
Thank you for making it interesting. I am looking to perhaps, follow a career path from being a medical coder and what promotional can I go to. Do you have a video that speaks about Career Path medical coders can follow. Like, do they have Quality Assurance in Medical Coding?
Interesting questions. There are coding auditors, coding educators, team leaders and account managers for coding. So, yes there a promotional careers with coding.
CodeMaster Coach, I'd like to start your video's from beginning, which one do I start for beginner coding. I'm taking on line course but I can see you offer great insights... Thank you...
Thank you so much for your nice explanation of medical coding ... I'm still confused about deciding whether to choose AHIMA or AAPC , and I don't know if I should establish a membership before buying the books or I can buy the books ..study ..then take the test .
Thank you for all the information. Would you recommend going to a traditional college or taking courses through one of these organizations to begin a career in coding? I would like to eventually get my associate's degree.
I started medical coding and billing program through careerstep. I've heard good and bad things about them. I'm hoping I made the right decision. Your thoughts?
Thank you for your videos. I am a Paramedic looking to get into In- patient coding. Would you reccomend AAPC CPC online course? I have read a few reviews on that particular program and the students seemed unhappy with it. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. J
I just love your personality u r so giving and caring thank you for the time you take to give us all the valuable information that is so kind of you I wnat ask you how can I watch alll your videos back from beginning to end to kind know what you are explaining about coding and biking so I can have idea where to star from like I told u am a nurse but in recovery from cancer treatment and trying to work from home and the only way I can do that if I get this certification but I need prepare and learned about it and know which certification is needs in job market plus my experience as nurse is it gana help since I knew the terminology and anatomy what you think Please advice me and guide me trough this I subscribed to your channel and I love to have your email if you don’t mind
ibtissam casablanca, in the search box at the top of the page in RUclips, type CodeMasterCoach and it will take you to my channel. When you click on my RUclips channel (purple flowers), click on the "Video" tab and it will take you to a listing of all of my videos. From there, start viewing the oldest to the newest.
GREAT Information! I am not sure if you've answered this question or not ( sorry if you have). I just enrolled in DeVry and the website says that they are not ahima accredited. Could I take the test and get certified with courses from them?
Is it possible to be members of both associations? And if so, what are the benefits of both together or is it just harder to keep up with two? thank you for the videos.
Yes, it is possible to be a member of both associations. I am a member of both and I really like having access on both websites to information. It is a lot to keep up with and is expensive, but it works for me. I submit my ceu's and I have access to their knowledge banks. You are so welcome for the videos.
coach if yr in both ahima and aApc? how r u afford it? do they pay u or u pay both out of pocket? unless ur job pays u a lot of cash then i dont understand why ur in two organizations it too much money. $200 for aapc and then 150-300 fot ahima thats too much
Thank you so much. I am really on a mission to become a Med coder. I have an appointment with the College at 10 a.m. Thursday. Thanks a million for taking the time to show all of us the ropes. :0}
Your welcome The Preying Naturalist. While at the college, ask if their program is an "Approved" program through any national organizations. That will help you determine if the program is regulated and has to meet certain requirements or if it is just a made up program based on an idea that someone had.
Thank you for that response. It appears that they are *accredited* _Meridian College is licensed by the Commission for Independent Education within the Florida Department of Education_ _Meridian College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges_ www.meridian.edu/programs/medical-insurance-billing-coding/ I am going to talk with them in a bit :0) Eddie
Omg, thank you. I just finished my certification with Kaplan university and they had us to take our certification exam with AMCA American Medical Certification Association: AMCA www.amcaexams.com
IS IT ENOUGH TO WATCH YOUR CHANNEL AND SIGN UP TO TAKE THE CERTIFICATION TEST WITHOUT EVER STEPPING FOOT IN A CLASSROOM??? AND ALSO WHICH ARE THE NAMES AND TITLES FOR THE BEST SELF HELP BOOKS FOR CODING???
I am in a community college for the medical billing and coding certificate program. I want to be able to do Coding and billing, what certification exam should I take? Please answer my question 🙏 CPC- certified professional coder (AAPC) CBCS- Certified Billing and Coding (NHA) I want a certificate that's national
@@codemastercoach6636 I have heard that we won't get hired if we don't have take the CPC exam. I mean I want to be able to do both billing and coding so I can have a chance to get hired since I would be able to bill and code. Please answer my question
Soni Gudia, please check job ads to see if they require that certification where you live. I have heard of them but don't see jobs advertised for them. Most employers look for CPC, CCS or CCS-P for coding certifications.
ok,Thank you. I also checked the websites you mentioned and I'm confused about one thing which is that AAPC and AHIMA give certifications but do they provide courses? Ex. I took a course with ED2go through George Mason University and I'm taking the certification exam with NHA. So does AAPC and AHIMA provide the same thing or they only provide certification. In addition, I want to further my education in this field, do these websites provide a 2-4 years degree and certification?
Happy Will start by taking a medical terminology and billing and coding class either online or through a local college or adult education school. Medical Terminology knowledge is a must to understand what doctors and healthcare professionals are saying. You want to find a good medical coding and billing class to become knowledgeable about finding the right code to bill with and understand guidelines. Beyond those basic classes, you will want to decide which certification you want to go for either with the AAPC or AHIMA or you can get both! I think it is most important to have a good, solid foundation of knowledge on how coding works. There are some schools that offer exam prep courses that can also be of value in addition to the sample tests you can find online through various websites.
Hi..I'm new to your channel. I am trying to self teach myself coding to save money on classes. Am I able to take the certification test on my own without attending a school?
Wow I was thinking the same and thought you couldn't ...since some places need some courses from an accredited place to even take an exam. Good to know.
Thank you beautiful!! I am currently in a certification program and I am learning more from you than I am learning from my instructor!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Thank you for sharing. I'm learning all of this before I even call a school. You've been very resourceful.
This is just superb, been searching for "cpc medical coding certification" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Lukesey CPC Carnage - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.
Mike Shargent what is is it a book or what
Same here! It's nice to get your feet wet n see if its something for you before you go and spend on a school. Truly appreciate these videos and the hard work going into them!
Did any of you guys started and completed a program? How was it? How was finding a job and working in the field?
Your food basket will never go empty. You give so freely . Had to subscribed
God bless you for being such a kind human being with such passion for your profession and for helping others.
I got laid off and my last day of work is tomorrow, and I am taking this as an opportunity to start something new, and your channel has truly inspired me. Thank you so much! God bless... P.S. you are so beautiful!
Thank you Brenda Davila.
I started an online coding course, and I have been super lost (new to coding) your videos have already helped me out so much. Thank you so much for making them
Coach, please know that your time and effort in providing this channel full of experience, resources and information is extremely appreciated. I am close to tears. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you.
Thank you so much P Wills.

Your welcome Bookie Sunmola.
Sorry for crowding in on this comment but I am really trying to find information. I want to get my bachelors in medical billing and coding. I have no idea which school's graduates are getting jobs like this. I was just wondering what school you went to? I'm looking for an online school but I have no idea which one is taken seriously.
SAME!
I can watch an 3 hour long video from you, you detail very well, onto number 4 so excited
Thank you Q Love.

I am in school for electronic health records and my teacher recommended me to your channel. AMAZING!!! Thank you!
Wow! Thank you Chocolate Girl Blushing.
Hello, I'm amazed so far with your channel. This is great for people who are interested and are on the fence about it.
Question, I've researched and almost all of the jobs require 1-2 years experience. How do you get the experience if someone is not willing to give a newly certified person a chance? What have been your experiences? Can you work from home for a facility out of state in order to increase your chances of getting your first job?

Thank you cattycorner.
i wanna say thank you for uploading videos it helps me a lot in a times that i need answer related in this medical coding
Thank you John Macabulit.
Hello Code Master Coach! I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. They are extremely helpful to me. I wanted to know if you have done a video on Neoplasms, if not can you? Again your videos have help to explain coding to me while going through my coding experience.
Thank you for this video you will inspire and help so many of us.
Your welcome Alanda Sylvester.
I need all the help you can give me. Where can I find some practice scenarios that I can be proactive and start looking up codes? Is there anything you can provide or is there something on the web I want to be ready for when I have to take the AAPC exam?
Thanks so much !!! We will make it through in this field with you CodeMaster Coach !!!
You are helping me decide if I’m up to the challenge I want to work in the nurse field but don’t want to directly work with people

That is something that is extremely appealing to me as I am a single mom! THANK YOU AGAIN!!
You are welcome K. Beckom. I think Orthopedic and sports medicine is an area that is really big today and the opportunity to code in that area will grow even more. So, excellent idea. And yes, most coders now work from home.
thanks for the video. im planning to take cpc certification and it really help. hope for more tutorial videos. godbless :)
I am going to college now, this is so helpful thank you
Your welcome Stephanie Miles.
Really informative video😃
+Dana Pfeiffer Thank you so much. I am working on preparing the next video now. I will be teaching the coding content next, so stay tuned.
I just love your videos, thank you so much, they’re so helpful!
Thanks Krista Lynn.
Thank you so much you always explain the information so well ..I love your videos :)
Thanks Laguna Beach gurl.
Thank you ! Very informative
Hi! I am really enjoying your videos. I would like to watch all of them as I may do so. I wanted to know if you had any suggestions on how to go about getting into a medical office or the foot in the door advice? I have some college with Med Term and some A & P also was a nurse tech. I also am planning to take CPC from the AAPC website. I would love to hear your advice. Thank you for sharing such great info!
thank you so much for sharing your videos :)
You're welcome Hilda Tovar.
thank you so much for this free information!
Your welcome Ashleigh Siebert. You know I hear from my peers about offering "free" information daily.
Hello 👋. Love your style and energy. I enjoy your teaching seriously. Question:
In your opinion which is better
1.) AHIMA?
2.) AAPC?
3.) In the future can you be associated with both?
I’m currently setting up a path to get started with AAPC because I can’t understand if AHIMA is offering any classes at this time.
Now that I’m watching this video I don’t want to feel like I missed out on anything. Thank you and can’t wait to get started. Many blessings to you 🥰
I am associated with both. For Medical Coding related issues, I turn to AAPC but as you grow in the profession, you will turn to AHIMA.
Excellent
Thank you Sunshine.
superb.
Your such a good teacher!!!!
Thank you LittleMozart.
Thank you 🙏🏽
You're welcome Jacqueline Williams.
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm learning so much from you. I emailed you as well.

Thank you so much Sufi Ellis.
Very helpful
Thank you for YOU!
Thank you Artisbeauty716.
God bless you
Thank you Jane S.
thanks for your videos!!! I'm preparing for my rhit exam and these videos are helping me soo much! Can you post a list with the most frequently used codes? ...hope you keep posting more videos thanks :)
Thank you Margaret. Frequency of codes depends on where you live. So, what might be frequent here may not be where you live.
Hello, coach I am glad I found you and this is the channel I was looking for. Thank you for the video it is so good
English is my second language,do I have to be a fluent speaker to be a coder? thank you in advance.
+Melat Negash Glad to know you were looking for a channel like this. That makes me more determined to generate more videos. As far as English being your second language, no you do not have to be a fluent speaker. Make sure you understand Medical Terminology so that you understand what is documented in the medical record. We only code what is documented. If you can do that, you should be fine. I will be doing a Medical Terminology video soon. New video coming soon.
+CodeMaster Coach Thank you very much!! I'm looking forward to seeing
you in your next video.
Thank you for the resources
Your welcome Rakia Cargile.
I am a licensed massage therapist and Mom to a child with special needs, so I have experience in the medical field. My goal is to not only work from home, but from the ROAD in an RV with my boys! 😀 Any advice you could give me on which certificate to go for would be very helpful!
Lisa Sanders, I recommend starting with the AAPC CPC Certification. That is the entry level certification.
Thank you for making it interesting. I am looking to perhaps, follow a career path from being a medical coder and what promotional can I go to. Do you have a video that speaks about Career Path medical coders can follow. Like, do they have Quality Assurance in Medical Coding?
Interesting questions. There are coding auditors, coding educators, team leaders and account managers for coding. So, yes there a promotional careers with coding.
@@codemastercoach6636 I appreciate you. Thanks again.
CodeMaster Coach, I'd like to start your video's from beginning, which one do I start for beginner coding. I'm taking on line course but I can see you offer great insights... Thank you...
Pam Austin, go to my channel first, then click "videos", then "from oldest to newest".
Thank you so much for your nice explanation of medical coding ... I'm still confused about deciding whether to choose AHIMA or AAPC , and I don't know if I should establish a membership before buying the books or I can buy the books ..study ..then take the test .
In order to take the AAPC exam you first must be a member of AAPC
Thank you for all the information. Would you recommend going to a traditional college or taking courses through one of these organizations to begin a career in coding? I would like to eventually get my associate's degree.
Has anyone done the Penn Foster medical billing/coding program? How well did it prepare you for the CPC or CCA?
do you have a video explaining the apprentice part of CPC- A?
Ty for doing this
Your welcome MYMYS LAND.
I started medical coding and billing program through careerstep. I've heard good and bad things about them. I'm hoping I made the right decision. Your thoughts?
Jennifer Ruiz how do you like career step? I am getting ready to sign up.
Im interested in career step too.
Any update on careerstep? Been looking into them as well but unsure. Thanks
I’m gonna do Medical Coding Academy
Thank you so much
Your welcome Corey Rowell.
Thank you for your videos.
I am a Paramedic looking to get into In- patient coding.
Would you reccomend AAPC CPC online course?
I have read a few reviews on that particular program and the students seemed unhappy with it.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

I don't know enough about that program to say anything jasen 1971. Sorry.
Im loving you!
Thank you April Johnson.
I just love your personality u r so giving and caring thank you for the time you take to give us all the valuable information that is so kind of you I wnat ask you how can I watch alll your videos back from beginning to end to kind know what you are explaining about coding and biking so I can have idea where to star from like I told u am a nurse but in recovery from cancer treatment and trying to work from home and the only way I can do that if I get this certification but I need prepare and learned about it and know which certification is needs in job market plus my experience as nurse is it gana help since I knew the terminology and anatomy what you think Please advice me and guide me trough this I subscribed to your channel and I love to have your email if you don’t mind
ibtissam casablanca, in the search box at the top of the page in RUclips, type CodeMasterCoach and it will take you to my channel. When you click on my RUclips channel (purple flowers), click on the "Video" tab and it will take you to a listing of all of my videos. From there, start viewing the oldest to the newest.
GREAT Information! I am not sure if you've answered this question or not ( sorry if you have). I just enrolled in DeVry and the website says that they are not ahima accredited. Could I take the test and get certified with courses from them?
AHIMA certification must come from an accredited college but AAPC certification does not.
Thank you so much:)
Is it possible to be members of both associations? And if so, what are the benefits of both together or is it just harder to keep up with two? thank you for the videos.
Yes, it is possible to be a member of both associations. I am a member of both and I really like having access on both websites to information. It is a lot to keep up with and is expensive, but it works for me. I submit my ceu's and I have access to their knowledge banks. You are so welcome for the videos.
coach if yr in both ahima and aApc? how r u afford it? do they pay u or u pay both out of pocket? unless ur job pays u a lot of cash then i dont understand why ur in two organizations it too much money. $200 for aapc and then 150-300 fot ahima thats too much
Do you have a video on how to code Anesthesia, surgery, etc., thanks
Tracey, I haven't gotten that far yet with this channel. It will be coming.
could you post the links in the description area for AHIMA and AAPC? thank you! :0)
AHIMA can be found at www.AHIMA.org and the AAPC can be found at www.AAPC.com.
Thank you so much. I am really on a mission to become a Med coder. I have an appointment with the College at 10 a.m. Thursday. Thanks a million for taking the time to show all of us the ropes. :0}
Your welcome The Preying Naturalist. While at the college, ask if their program is an "Approved" program through any national organizations. That will help you determine if the program is regulated and has to meet certain requirements or if it is just a made up program based on an idea that someone had.
Thank you for that response. It appears that they are *accredited*
_Meridian College is licensed by the Commission for Independent Education within the Florida Department of Education_
_Meridian College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges_

I am going to talk with them in a bit :0) Eddie
It appears to be a great college, two courses of Anatomy and Physiology to start. The course is $18,000.00 with no gurantee of a job :(
do you need to be a member and does it cost?
♥️
Thanks Leovic Rapirap.
What about AMCA, are they recognized in the work field?
Unique, I'm sorry but I have never heard of AMCA.
Omg, thank you. I just finished my certification with Kaplan university and they had us to take our certification exam with AMCA American Medical Certification Association: AMCA

IS IT ENOUGH TO WATCH YOUR CHANNEL AND SIGN UP TO TAKE THE CERTIFICATION TEST WITHOUT EVER STEPPING FOOT IN A CLASSROOM???
AND ALSO WHICH ARE THE NAMES AND TITLES FOR THE BEST SELF HELP BOOKS FOR CODING???
Not yet. I am sharing ICD-10-CM. I still need to cover CPT for certification. I have a list of books on my other channel, MedicalCoderLife,
@@codemastercoach6636
You are very inspiring! Thank you CodeMaster Coach!
I will be 53. Is my age too late to get a career in Medical Coding?
I am in a community college for the medical billing and coding certificate program. I want to be able to do Coding and billing, what certification exam should I take? Please answer my question 🙏
CPC- certified professional coder (AAPC)
CBCS- Certified Billing and Coding (NHA)
I want a certificate that's national
Dayana, I would recommend the AAPC CPC exam.
@@codemastercoach6636 with the CPC- Certificate professional coder (AAPC) can I do Billing too?
@@codemastercoach6636 I have heard that we won't get hired if we don't have take the CPC exam. I mean I want to be able to do both billing and coding so I can have a chance to get hired since I would be able to bill and code. Please answer my question
Hi, I have a question for you, I'm taking my certification exams for CMAA and CBCS through NHA, is that a good association to get certified from?
Soni Gudia, please check job ads to see if they require that certification where you live. I have heard of them but don't see jobs advertised for them. Most employers look for CPC, CCS or CCS-P for coding certifications.
ok,Thank you. I also checked the websites you mentioned and I'm confused about one thing which is that AAPC and AHIMA give certifications but do they provide courses? Ex. I took a course with ED2go through George Mason University and I'm taking the certification exam with NHA. So does AAPC and AHIMA provide the same thing or they only provide certification. In addition, I want to further my education in this field, do these websites provide a 2-4 years degree and certification?
Am taking the coarse now where would I get a job once am done with the class
In Google, type in "Remote Medical Coder" and see all of the employment opportunities available. They are too numerous to count.
Hi mam how can I start learn medical coding
Just follow my videos and you will get your introduction to coding.
Hi I'm looking for a career change. How do I start to become a coder?
Happy Will start by taking a medical terminology and billing and coding class either online or through a local college or adult education school. Medical Terminology knowledge is a must to understand what doctors and healthcare professionals are saying. You want to find a good medical coding and billing class to become knowledgeable about finding the right code to bill with and understand guidelines. Beyond those basic classes, you will want to decide which certification you want to go for either with the AAPC or AHIMA or you can get both! I think it is most important to have a good, solid foundation of knowledge on how coding works. There are some schools that offer exam prep courses that can also be of value in addition to the sample tests you can find online through various websites.
how much schooling do I need to get a job?
The entry level certification is the CPC exam. Go to www.AAPC.com
im thinking of getting into this will a certificate get me a job?
Employers look for certification. Just make sure its a certification that is accepted in your area.
Hi..I'm new to your channel. I am trying to self teach myself coding to save money on classes. Am I able to take the certification test on my own without attending a school?
Yes, you will be able to. Go to www.AAPC.com and get all the information you need about the CPC exam.
Wow I was thinking the same and thought you couldn't ...since some places need some courses from an accredited place to even take an exam. Good to know.
