Andrews School experiences

I am an MT who was laid off from my job and I am seriously considering coding school. So far, I am leaning towards Andrews, they sound the best. My question is, will I be able to find a job that pays well afterwards? I have looked at a few job postings online in my area and it looks like entry level coders are only 10 bucks an hour. This concerns me as I don't want to put out a lot of money for coding school if I am not going to be making much money. Also, ...

This may not be the right board, but I thought I would put it here. I have been interested in taking the coding course through Andrews for over a year now. I was just wondering if that is the way to go or if I should take a different course that they are now offering. They now offer billing and medical management. I know that medical transcription is out because I am already a transcriptionist and that is not going well. Any and all advice is welcome. Thank you. ...

I need financial aid. Andrews doesn't accept Pell grants. etc. Currently I'm on unemployment. Been unemployed for about 2 months now. Have been an MT for 37 years. I applied for WIA funds (workforce investiment act) and included info about Andrews and medical coding in general, i.e., what it is, etc. They won't pay for Andrews or coding for that matter because they say:(1) Its a work at home job. (2) Its an online program and they ca ...

I think I've decided on Andrews School for coding. My question is any recent graduates get jobs? How quickly? All openings I've browsed look like they want 3-5 years experience...... ...

Those who went through the Andrews School how long did it take to find a job? Thanks. ...

If I could choose a school right now for coding, Andrews would be first choice. I was hoping that someone could share some suggestions for paying for the course. Right now AAPC is having a "sale" on their course which is now 50% off. From my research, though, I think that would not be my first choice, but is muc more affordable than Andrews. Has anyone used any of the Andrews payment plans? How did that work out for you? The cost seems prohibitive to me, but I ...

Does the Andrews School curriculum go beyond what the AHIMA teaches? I ask this question with the following (in quotations) in mind. "One common misunderstanding is that you will be ready to take the CCS exam once you complete your academic training and that is incorrect. You will be qualified to sit for the CCA exam upon completing your training program. The CCS and CCS-P are mastery credentials and reflect two to three years of full time coding experience beyond the academic preparatio ...

Hey everybody, I am having a problem getting onto the Andrews School website. Is anybody else having the same problem? I wanted to check into their coding courses, but every time I go to the website, I get a message telling me that internet explorer could not open the website. I 'm wondering if it's down, or is it something in my computer? Any help would be appreciated! TIA! ...

Does anyone know or can recommend the Andrews School? The cost seems to be high for the course. ...

Andrews School of Medical Coding and Transcription........... Just wanted to say a few words about Andrews School of Coding. 3 years ago I finished an AHIMA accredited program for Health Information, going through the program I realized there were some gaps that I needed to fill in on the coding end. I love AHIMA and being part of the organizaiton, and look forward to working in the field for a long time. What I am finding with Andrews is that they offer an indepth, hands on training spe ...

Looking at coding schools. I saw a few here went to Andrews. Seems to be a thorough course, albeit expensive. Did you get your money's worth? We you able to find a job after getting credentialed and did the course prepare you well for credential testing? Those of you who are MTs, could you opt out of certain classes? What made you choose Andrews? Would it be better to take the course through AHIMA or AAPC, why/why not? How long would it take to go thro ...

I've read so much on this forum trying to get some good information on which school to go with, and all I can find is Andrews, Andrews, Andrews! How can it be the only school that anybody seems willing to recommend? Is the forum just overrun with Andrews students or is it truly the only school that anyone knows of that prepares you for the CCS exam upon graduation? How can that be? And believe me, I'm not criticizing the school or anyone for their opinion, I jus ...

I was looking at Career Step. No? ...

I was wondering what the best coding school is, other than Andrews? ...

I am an MT. I really want to do the Andrews School, but probably from being an MT, I just feel beaten down and depressed and I am afraid to be taken advantage of. On this site, there are so many people who went to Andrews and got such wonderful jobs and it gets such great reviews. This makes me think, could this really be true???? Or are all these just Andrews School employees? I am so worried to spend the money on it, I am not even sure I can come up ...

I am looking into moving into Coding as a profession. I will be talking to Interface Computer School this afternoon as they have a billing/coding class (just asking questions right now), but I am hearing so much of Andrews. I know this is an online course. I feel a little nervous about not having a teacher in front of me. Can anyone tell me about Andrews, what to expect, how hard is it really (sounds pretty strict on grades, etc on the web page) how well communication is and if yo ...

Andrews School and Medical Coding. Is this a good program. ...

Okay -- I think I've made my decision to not go back to my local community college after I finish ICD-9 fall semester. I just don't feel it is giving me what I need, and it is not preparing me to pass anything. Most of the students in my class are taking coding as just another class they have to pass so they can move on to something else. I am paying a lot of money because I'm out of state, and I don't feel like I'm getting value. I've n ...

Anyone know if Career Step or Andrews is a good school? I'm trying to decide on which one to go to. ...

Hi. I am very interested in attending Andrews school for coding. The only problem is I may not be able to pay in full at the time of enrollment. Has anyone done the payment option and if so how did it work for you? Thanks. ...

For 3800.00 I would think they should be accredited most definitely. ...

do they include anatomy? ...

Hi, I am new to this internet typing transcription at home too and am finding it daunting and complicated. Can anyone tell me about their experiences with DIT transcription ? I was supposed to start on June 14, 2010 with them but now I do not know if they do not pay and are not realiable to work for? They were willing to hire me? What kind of dictation is it? Is it foreign dictators, I too wanted to get a phrase expander but at 5 cents a line, have to type 2000 lines to make 50 bucks, is ...

I have had horrible experiences with 2 companies in the past few months that I thought were different and would turn out much better than most medical transcription companies out there. Well, the first one let me go because of lack of work. They had outdated equipment and are actually holding my last check claiming that I did not mail the equipment, and I did. The last check doesn't amount to much and probably isn't worth the time or trouble to try to get it as I am curren ...

So, other than your paycheck being a few days late last week, what are your experiences with FutureNet? Good, bad? How is the pay? They're advertising for a job and I'm thinking of applying. Thanks for the help! ...

Good, bad, indifferent?? :))) ...

Any experiences one is willing to share. Good, bad, ugly. Is their pay too low for IC? 8/3?? thanks ...

What can anyone tell me about their experiences with Amphion? I have passed the test and have an interview set up for Monday. Thanks in advance ...

Anybody have any experiences with this company they can share? Pay, benefits, schedule, errors value, etc.? Thanks in advance! ...

Does anyone have any recent experience with Oracle? Hate to ask such a loaded ?, as there is always good/bad experiences. Do they really just let you get on and work anytime you feel like it as an IC as long as you meet line requirements? Sounds great schedule wise. How is there system? Is it all through the Internet or do you need a phone line for some sort of C-phone? Do they provide the word expander or short hand program? Work load...is there always ...
