Took me... - CS Grad Posted: Sep 26th, 2016 - 9:14 am In Reply to: How long did it take you to do the CS course? - Possibility
It took me about five months. I passed out of all the terminology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and anatomy sections due to my previous MT experience. Yes, I worked full time as an MT while I attended CS. I obtained the CCS after obtaining my first job while all my schooling was fresh in my mind, as well as to round out my marketability for future positions as my first position was a stepping stone only. Real world coding rules are often very different based on payer guidelines and client guidelines. It is much easier to pass the credentialing exams straight out of school than after mixing in payer rules, etc. I also obtained the CRC (risk adjustment coding credential through AAPC) as that seems to be the easiest type of coding for a new coder to break into.
