Hello! You don't have to purchase a coding program to get certified. Thankfully, it's not a prerequisite requirement. This video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKWlmmx7o95lmLcsi=02LNtkAA6xro3UxY) will help point you in the right direction about the CPC exam. I you are trying to decide between a CPC or a CCA this video may help (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3OpppprqNtrsMUsi=E1_k_g7CMqJKJEEd). This one will help with CPC exam prep (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHOpYaxulKp8mposi=srrA20FPSsRGYbBH).

Thank you sooooo much for this video, it came at the perfect time🤗!! I missed passing the CPC by 3 points a few months ago on my second attempt and really needed this encouragement. I have a coding and billing background but primarily in ICD-9. I went back and completed a certification course for ICD-10 in 2023.

Hi Ms. Laquita. I came across your channel this morning. What a God send, you are. Thank you for all that you do. Towards the end this segment, you spoke about negotiating your salary. Would you mind doing a segment on how to, as well as how you have gone about negotiating your salaries? You also mentioned a counteroffer letter. I've never thought of that. We all know we are worth more but it can be so difficult to not only convey that but to also do it effectively, with confidence. If you are able to find the time, it would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. (Your New and Grateful Subscriber).

I have a question regarding applying for the first time as a medical coder, when there has been a large career gap and especially, and particular a low credit score due to absent employment. I'm particularly concerned about credit checks, as it happened to someone, yet, they were in a different career altogether. Would a temp agency be the best way to access employment, thus building credit?

Its crazy because I worked for a big hospital in California doing RA medical record processing and then I graduated College, but am not happy with my current status and have been thinking about learning more about the coding industry because I love the remote hybrid positions I see online and I remember working next to coders when I worked in the Medical Records office.

Can I ask, if someone like me is new to the industry… what would be the most common coding certifications? Would it be the CPC? I know it depends where you live and where youre planning to work but I see some RHIT associates degrees on Indeed too so I just have no clue. I come from the social services world and am new to this and wanna explore it more!

Hi Ms. Laquita. I appreciate this information. I have a CBCS certification. I've held this certification since March 2024. It's been really hard to find a job. I don't see companies asking for a CBCS certification. So, I decided to enroll in classes to attain my CPC certification. Have you heard of the CBCS certification?
@Ms.Laquita9 күн бұрын
Hello, I have never heard about a CBCS cert. Yes, your correct I have never seen a job posting requesting a CBCS cert either. That's an unfortunate situation, but you choosing to pivot to obtain a CPC cert makes sense in your situation and shows your resilience. Some give up right where you are, but you decided to make a decision to keep at your goal. Good or you 👏🏾.

There are plenty of roles out there that will allow you to do RA coding w/o a CRC. My 1st coding role was a RA role as a new coder. I attained my CRC on the job 🙂 by using study guides and practice exams only.

Unfortunately l decided to let the certification expire on me. In this case, can I still apply for these new opportunities you just posted?. I hope to hear from you. Thanks and much love ❤.

There are various online platforms offering medical coding courses that have gained positive recognition. It’s essential to research thoroughly, consider reviews, course offerings, accreditation, and potential job placement assistance before choosing a program. Some individuals also utilize community college programs. I can't personally endorse any courses. I didn't take a course. I learned my knowledge on the job.
