AHIMA (http://www.ahima.org)is the accrediting agency for medical coding courses, i.e., if your course is not approved by AHIMA, your certificate is probably not worth the paper it is printed on. That doesn't mean that you won't be qualified or won't get work as a coder, but you may as well go with the AHIMA course if you haven't already started with Career Step. (I didn't see Career Step on the approved list.) You can also get certified online with the AHIMA course after you finish the course. As with any coding course, completion of the course does not mean you are certified. You have to take a test for that. |
I think you should go with the online course at AHIMA - Barry Watts
