reason why I didn't get the CCS - ya know

Posted: Mar 1st, 2023 - 10:58 am In Reply to: Thank you for your kind comments - Linda Andrews, Director, Andrews Medical Coding Sc

I was hoping to get a job with the CPC first because to be honest I was completely broke and too many bills to try to pay and it's expensive to sit for the exam, hotel expenses because I would have had to travel, gas, food, etc etc. The biggest and most notable factor was COVID happened and everything shut down, or most everything.
