no testing so far... - wondering

Posted: Oct 30th, 2015 - 4:47 pm In Reply to: Has anyone allowed you to test and if so how did you do on the employment test? - sm

We have only 1 local hospital. Their coding hiring policy states "must have 2-3 years" experience, and they will not offer opportunity to test without this.

Entirely self-study with some coding experience from many, many years ago. I scored very high on the CCS exam and feel confident about my ability. Frustrating.

Thanks for your reply.
