[ In Reply To ..]Based on the previous reply, it sounds like they have you doing real reports. So in essence, you're paying to work? LOL We may get the work back onshore from India and the Philippines after all. Somebody's making a nice chunk of change.
yes, so it is, one pays for the feedback they give on the reports you type and edit..nm - ..

MediTec Question
Nov 29, 2011
I know MediTec has great reviews for its medical transcription/coding/billing courses, but I've been debating on enrolling in their combo legal course (legal transcriptionst/paralegal certification). Does anyone have any information about whether their legal courses are as stellar as their transcription courses? Before taking the plunge, I thought it be a good idea to check here since so many MTs (like myself) seem to be debating taking the plunge into other career avenues. TIA for ...

Just cannot decide between Meditec, AAPC, Career Step or Andrews.... ARGHHH I am hoping to get into outpatient coding, preferably in an orthopedic practice! I want the most in-depth training that is out there. I want to be fully prepared. If Andrews is most expensive but offers the most in-depth training, I will go with them. It's a hard decision to make especially with so many different schools out there! ...

If you wouldn't recommend Allied as a school, who would you reco ...
Coding School - Considering Going To A School
Sep 22, 2011
I am an MT who is considering going to school for coding. I am thinking about taking the course through Andrews and will probably start next year because I will have to save up some of the money. I am wondering if you think coding may eventually go the way of medical transcription and be outsourced to India. I do not think it will so I just wanted to get the opinions of other coders. I realize it will be a hard course but I think it will be worth the effort. Any thoughts would be appre ...

Like so many others at MQ and everywhere, I went back to school, spent 4 1/2 years and $40 K+. That was 1 1/2 years ago. I cannot get a job teaching nor subbing, not even in a clerical capacity. Student loan has come due and I'm back to struggling here at Q, making hardly enough to pay bills, much less take on the $350 a month student loan payment.

Would it be possible to get certified if you have not attended school? I have a friend who has worked as a coder for almost 20 years and has never pursued her certification.

Coding School????
