Still haven't heard anything about coding program - too hopeful

Posted: Mar 20, 2014

Guess I'll be going to school since I really, really want to go into coding.

You aren't alone. There are several of us - who are apparently unworthy of courtesy

I'm with you, going back to school in the fall.

I havent heard either, but I completely bombed the test - so I knew right away I was out

Still would have been nice to recieve a reject notice instead of nothing.

Gee if I am invisible to MModal , I guess I can - half-butt it while working now.

I feel like saying F it. Why bother going above and beyond, they clearly have no respect for me as an employee.

was told... - sm

If no response/email by now it means you're not in via sup. Better luck next time I guess. Not sure there will be a next time for me. Too much uncertainty around here for my taste. May just continue the hunt for something different altogether.

yeah, I have a bad taste in my mouth about this - I will fend for myself.

Besides I am not overly confident that MModal will still be standing a year from now.

I am not surprised. - anon

What they should have done is let everyone, those who have been rejected and those who have been accepted, know at the same time. They are a huge company and obviously have the technology and means to have handled this more professionally. Disappointing, but not surprising that they didn't handle it better. Doesn't bode well for the way they will handle this "coding opportunity".

I tend to agree. I think we may have dodged a bullet - Ch. 11 is not a confidence booster

I have to laugh because I am so ticked off about not getting a rejection letter. It seems crazy, but it is just an indicator of how little they really think of us.

I had other plans in place already for retraining anyway.

Well, that is rude not to at least let you know you are not in. - nm

That was the least, the VERY least, they could - have done for everyone, and they -

[ In Reply To ..]
couldn't even do THAT. So low-class.

You might be on standby - sm

There would have to be a reserve pool of people who will be accepted if an original selectee drops out, gets sick, or something.

Not having heard anything is a good sign. I think it means you were close and that you are still under consideration.

What? Why would anyone turn down this - opportunity of a lifetime.

[ In Reply To ..]
If that is true, I will be taking a pass. I am not impressed.

You're right. At least we need to keep our - dignity & have some self-esteem left.

Or that MModal is full of rude and inept people - I vote for that being the reality. NM

Hmm, maybe negativity is why - you were not selected

[ In Reply To ..]

LOL. Okay, MModal are psychics now too. - anon

My negativity stems from their lack of respect or common courtesy.

They are the jerks here, but you kid yourself that they are wonderful and benevolent.

No, it was probably because they weren't - nasty and slimy enough.

Seems odd that they notified some by email... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
and others, like me and you apparently, they just left hanging, no email. That really bothers me...it's just unprofessional. It's like they were so unimpressed with us, they didn't bother.

Hi everyone I feel like I just have to vent a little. Hope that's okay. I've been a transcriptionist for a long time (17 years) but I am beginning to believe that I must really stink !!

now I don't know if I want to be a coder :(. I planned on taking the CPC and then after a few years taking the CCS. Before I started my program, I was naive and didn't realize how difficult and complex coding is. I don't know that I can sit in front of a computer for 8 hours and code all day long. It's almost too much like MTing (desk work, I mean). Plus, I am not confident in my ability to even pass the CPC. I am not very satisfied with th ...

How does one know which online coding program to take when they all seem pretty good, besides the price difference? I specifically want to know about AHIMA or Career Step from someone who has graduated and found a job. I know they have testimonials on their website, but how does one really know? I was thinking about either their program or the one from AHIMA, which seems a lot longer, but apparently with either you will be able to sit for the credentialing exam, and they seem to be close in ...

I am looking for a medical coding program and have been checking into various ones. I came across this one and it seems too good to be true. All others have been at least $1000 but usually more than that. This programs states it is only $349 for a 6 month indepth course. You can find it at www.medicalcodingpro.com or just google Medical Coding Pro. My concern is, does this program really train you from scratch or is it meant as a refresher course for people who have worked in this field pr ...

or does it mostly boil down to going to a school with a good curriculum and then getting a certification? I'm trying to decide between a community college program and Career Step. The community college program, I won't be able to graduate from until 2015, which seems like forever, but with Career Step, I could be done in a year from now. Career Step is AHIMA approved, and MModal (my current employer) told me that the AHIMA approval is important. ...

Does anyone know of a (non-degree) program other than Andrews that upon completion will allow you to be eligible to sit for the CCS and CPC exam. I have researched the Andrews program and think it sounds great and comes with awesome recommendations from this board. I just want to explore any other options available before I take the plunge. Not necessarily needing a degree, already have Masters in Health Administration. Thanks so much. ...

Just got an email from our manager saying they are stopping the program for the next week or so until they get the bugs worked out. We are supposed to type until they figure out their next step. Some of the students still don't have the encoder program. I think a big part of it is because of the ruling to delay ICD9. Who knows if it will start back up again. Will keep you guys posted. ...

MTs, if MModal offers this coding program again, don't do it...it is now 10 months into a 3 month program and has again been pushed back by another 2 months...they make it look good with guaranteed employment and dangling bonuses at you, but don't be fooled..they have no intension of ever paying you or moving you into the job...this is just to dangle in front of customers to say "hire us, we are cutting edge!" ...

I am getting a little overwhelmed with the manual side of coding. The beginning part of the course was a breeze because it was all medical terms and anatomy. The coding part just seems overwhelming. Is working in real life easier with the encoder than it is manually looking up a code? ...

I asked the coding board and just got crickets. I was hoping that they would do another round and I could give the test a try. I heard from a coworker who heard from another coworker who heard from one of the coders in training that they recently dropped the program. I'm not sure if I believe it or not as it would be all over this board I would think. ...

and I think I'd enjoy the job (after researching for the past year). I really want to do something interesting for the rest of my working life (and still have a career rather than just a job like I do now), but now I'm starting to wonder if I am too old at 58. I guess I'd get through the schooling in about 12 months, then take the CCS exam (takes time?) and then I say give myself up to a year to find a job (??). That would mean I could be pushing 60 when I began. ...

I am currently attending Andrews School's coding program and I truly do love it. There are still some things that confuse me a bit and sometimes I have wished there were "training" or lecture videos. By taking this course, I have realized that I am a visual learner and have found that just by having to read everything, sometimes I have to go over it and over it to make sense of it, which then sets me back as far as time and then I have to rush to get all of my assignments comple ...
