Anyone ever taken classes or utilized this place? - Poking Around

Posted: Sep 02, 2013

Has anyone ever taken classes through Ritecode or utilized any of their training modules? I did a search here and can find nothing on them. They were also known as Restuccio Healthcare Group.

Just curious, as it looks like you can take modules individually, paying as you go, rather than paying for an entire course at once.

Thanks!

I am going to look into the school you mentioned, but question for you (sm) - Hopeful

I posted a message above regarding purchasing and studying the AAPC's study guide and practice tests and learning on my own, then paying and sitting for the test. Do you know if that is allowed or is there a required number of classroom or online hours before a person can sit for the exam? Just curious as I am looking for the most cost-effective way to do this - as I am, for lack of a better word - BROKE. Thanks for any info.

From what I've been told by an officer of the AAPC and from what I've read on other boards, no. As long as you have the knowledge, you pay for the exam and have a seat.

I found this thread on indeed.com that probably has more information than I've found just about anywhere. Link below.

Thanks! nm - Hopeful

Link is broken, but outdated info anyway. - Would not rely on it.

If you wanted information about cooking schools, would you take the advice of successful chefs or people who don't know bacon from bologna?

I'd go with a chef.

I answered this above. - But darned if I can see it now!

It's up there somewhere. I thought I'd post it up there to avoid unnecessary duplication. Darned if I can find it now, though.

Yes, thank you. Didn't see it until after I posted my question here :) - Hopeful

I was at our county fair this afternoon (town of 2200) and I know someone who works in the on-line tech school office and she said that the MT classes are going strong and students are graduating and getting jobs, but apparently they are in-house. I am going to get the teacher's name and number and call her and see where they are going and how much they are making as this does not make sense at all.

I want to take coding classes, but the school that everybody says is the best is an online course. I am an MT, working full time and then some. The last thing I want to do is sit in front of the computer any more than I already do. Why can't these classes be offered in a regular class setting? I've never liked the idea of online school as long as I'm working on line. Just too much sitting and staring at the screen. I don't think I'm al ...

I'm new to this board so bear with me. Having been a MT forever it seems, I'm thinking of making a switch to coding. At one point I was even hired as an entry level coder, learning on the job, but when i position came open in transcription took that as it paid better. In hindsight wish I had stuck with the coding as then could have gone either or even both ways. My problem would be having to actually "go" to a school in person , but i would want something reputable, not som ...

Hey everyone, I know what you are going through. I worked for MQ for a very long time . I was tired of not making a paycheck. Try Etransplus. I work for them now and they are the most wonderful people. It is straight typing, no voice recognition AT ALL!! You can make up to 9-1/2 cents a line and they are not picky about how long you work. The benefits are not as good but they do have some. Try them out. It was the best move I had ever made. ...
