I’m trained in medical coding but didn’t pass the certification test. I’m currently studying for medical billing certification. The training I received was in depth with medical billing only a introduction to medical coding. Thankfully I trained for medical coding in depth! Thank you for all of your expertise ❤

@beyondrcm 2 года назад

Thank you Vicky for tuning in! Hopefully if enough of the “Powers That Be” at AHIMA get this feedback, they will place greater emphasis in this area as AAPC is surpassing them by leaps and bounds, and the truth is there is a market for it for their members! Please also feel free to spread the word about our page. Next time we will be discussing how to break into the MBC industry as an Entry Level Hire!

Did you have to do anything extra to transfer from NHA to AHIMA? I read I have to have 1 year experience.

@beyondrcm Год назад

Hi Sinccy, thank you so much for checking out the Chanel! When I moved to from NHA to AHIMA, I had already had over a decade of work experience which meant I more than met the requirement to sit for my exam with AHIMA. So I simply signed up for my CCS-P exam (studied like a lot, lol) and did not renew my NHA certification.

Thanks for your information. I have a question...I was going to enroll in Certified Billing and Coding Specialist program with Kennesaw State University and I was told that if I select the option that says, "Voucher" that would count as 1 year experience that's needed to get a job as beginner and it removes the "A" from the coding certification. Have you heard of this?

Hello Charies, Thank you so much for tuning into our channel. I want to provide you with the most accurate information so can you please confirm which organization Kennesaw university is saying they will assist you in becoming certified through?

@beyondrcm Год назад

First decide which type of setting you would like to learn (Inpatient, outpatient, Risk Management) then check out some of the leading coding organizations, their certifications offered, and what type of tools they provide to help you prepare. I also recommend looking at open positions in your field and paying keen attention to the organizations they cite for accreditation in their job listing.

So, I'm taking medical billing & coding online..I'm at my last portion of the course. Getting ready to take exam in few months to be certified through NHA. You did mention one of the online program (which I'm in through them). I need your opinion, should I go ahead & take NHA exam or should I just go ahead & take test at AAPC instead of wasting my time studying for NHA? What do you think? I need your help regarding this...should I focus more on studying towards AAPC instead of studying for NHA?

@mariesia759 Год назад

Thank you for making this video. It's very informative😊

@beyondrcm Год назад

Hi Marie, thank you so much for supporting our channel and being a part of our community. In my humble opinion, I relinquished my certification about 6-7 years ago because I did not think the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) provided the type of community and continuing education for its members for to evolve as MBCs. I honestly signed up with them in 1998 because I was new to the field and didn’t know any better, 25 years later I understand the importance of being a part of organizations that stay current on evolving topics in this industry, as well as provide opportunities for its members to continue to learn and grow in the field. Unless the NHA has completely revamped their model since I left, I can’t in good faith recommend them. I would say, go check out some of the major accrediting organizations, specifically check out their websites, and what type of opportunities they provide to their members in terms of continuing education, that should tell you most of what you need to know. Best of luck to you in your career journey.

@spaces3345 2 года назад

Thank you for this amazing information! I do have a question. Do you think taking a 2 month MBC certificate program is suitable? I want to apply to the school but I'm currently doing research and I've come across videos of people saying 2 months is WAYYY to soon. I graduated college 5 years ago and I worked at the airport as a customer service representative for awhile. Now, I want to take control of my life and do something relating to computers and clerical duties in the Medical field. I have taken A&P but that was years ago, but I'm willing to learn the Medical terminology.

@beyondrcm 2 года назад

Hi Mela thanks for reaching out. Two months is very fast to absorb all the components you will need to become even a suitable entry level MBC ultimately I would beed to see the courses outline to make a definitive assessment. The program I took many years ago was 4 months, and though the info was quite useful, it was not enough to fully prepare me for being on the job. I don’t know if any program truly does that, which Is why I am such a huge fan of internships. Internships help merge the educational & on the job components of being a well rounded MBC.

@OjGiGi Год назад

I ran across this video looking up videos for laptops. I plan to enroll in a one year program soon at a local college but to be as cost effective as possible right now (I'm a licensed cosmetologist) are there any low cost laptops that you recommend specifically for medical billing and coding? I'm on a budget at the moment but don't want the cost of a laptop to keep me from enrolling and getting started as soon as possible.

@TakeshiaDavis-bw6go Год назад

I would ask the local college if they are partnered with any state programs that allows u to pay a flat rate fee or free of charge laptop while completing the mbc program.For instance in Tn there is a program called tnreconnect that allows students to pay a one time fee of $10 to rent out a laptop until completion of said course.Hope this helps best of luck on the transition within your career.💛🍃

Any recommended online schools ???

@beyondrcm 8 месяцев назад

Hello @Shauntaybelton1153! Thanks for supporting the channel. If you want an in depth understanding of the healthcare field and do not just want a specialized certificate in billing or coding, I recommend a college degree program in healthcare administration, or health information management, with the option to get certified at the end through a recognized organization. If however, you are just looking to be certified in a specific area because maybe you have experience already, then my top two organizations are always AHIMA and AAPC. Both of these organizations have coursework to help you prepare for your certification in your specialized area. Best of luck to you!
