I passed the CCS! - Coder2B
Posted: Jan 04, 2013
I passed the CCS exam yesterday! Students out there, it can be done. Now onto the job search, a whole other thing completely, but for now, just trying to recover and let it sink in. I have been studying at Andrews for a whole year towards this goal and now it's here. Thanks Andrews staff and students for all the support!
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!! - student

Whew is right! I am so relieved it is over. The exam was very hard, I didn't even finish, ran out of time. I thought I failed, but did the best I could in the time I had. I guess that was good enough. Thanks for the well wishes.
Congratulations Coder2B! - Another Andrews student

I am currently in Module III and I'm starting to get nervous about the CPC exam, never mind the CCS. Your post gives me hope. Again, congratulations!
Also, you are a coder now, not a coder2b - Congrats!

Adjusting your thinking is going to be important in getting a job. It means the difference between begging for a chance ("I'm still a wannabe! Give me a chance") and showing up with something valuable to offer ("I'm a CCS! I've proven my knowledge and coding ability on the most difficult test there is, and what I learned in my training program will continue to support me on the job. Let me use my skills to benefit your organization!")
Big difference!

Passed The CPC-H Certification! Sep 25, 2012I just got my results in the mail from AAPC that I passed the certification exam for CPC-H! I have been an MT for decades and when my last in-house MT job was outsourced, I decided I'd better get moving on to coding. Coding is very difficult and I had quite a time completing the online CPC-H course offered by AAPC. I started in the Spring and just got certified. I want all the MTs out there to know that terminology, A&P are helpful to already know! It was not easy to get this certificat ...

Has Anyone Passed These Audits? Apr 02, 2014I have yet to pass one, how the heck, with say 3 minor errors can you possible pass these things? I want to quit so badly but have no prospective jobs. So the question boils down to basically, is at what percentage of errors are they firing people? 99.5, 99 what? I just cannot see how this is possible to do. My thoughts are that they are going to try this stupid goal and see who comes the closest to the 99.7% unrealistic BS and keep them. I also cannot see how the Indians are doing this, s ...

For Those Who Passed The CCS Exam On The First Try.... Aug 28, 2014I just received word from my tribe they are assisting me in paying for this exam. So, it is imperitive that I pass this test. I graduated Andrews about a year ago and because I just couldn't afford to take the exams, I didn't becomes certified. I do know it would probably be best to sit for the CPC first, but I am a person who would rather do the hardest first and since my tribe will help, this is the direction I have decided to go.
I am worried since ...

Passed Up A Great Job Offer Feb 19, 2013I had a job offer with a local hospital as a transcriptionist making 15.37 an hour which would be a raise from my dead end job I have now of scheduling. I have been a transcriptionist for 14 years and had to take a totally different job just to get a paycheck when our department was outsourced last year. So on a whim I applied when I saw a job opening at the same hospital that outsourced the entire transcription department. I was offered the job and accepted it but my husband was so stressed abo ...

Inscribe - Took Their Test Last Fall And Passed It May 30, 2012I took their test last fall and passed it and was called immediately. I was told I would be up and running in 2 weeks or less.

They emailed me 8 weeks ago and asked me again to come on board, told them what happened last time and they swore they had all that straightened up now.
