  • I just completed Ms. Ortega's 3-day CPC Exam prep last night and it was extraordinary. She is an exceptional teacher with a heart as big as Texas! I don't... read more know how she managed to fit so much course material into those 3 days, but she made it happen. She is prepared beyond belief with slides and lectures that explain medical coding in a way that even someone brand new to coding can understand. She expects her students to be as prepared to learn as she is to teach, so DO THE PRE-WORK! Once you register for the class, you will receive a packet of instructions from Medical Coding Academy. This is called the pre-work. It does take many hours to complete, so don't wait until the last minute to start. It may seem like a hassle while you are working on it, but it is definitely worth it! I believe it is the second reason I got so much out of he class. The first reason is Ms. Ortega herself. She seems to have 2 passions in life, one for coding and one for teaching. This combination makes her a clear choice when deciding who to entrust with your career education. I first met Ms. Ortega by pure luck. She just happened to be the instructor for an ICD-10 class I attended a few years ago. I knew then that whenever I decided to sit for the CPC exam, she was the only one I would trust to help me prepare. I am so thrilled that she has taken her class on the road and that I was finally able to attend! I am registered to take the CPC exam in less than 3 weeks. I'll be doing the homework she gave me and feel confident that I can pass. Thank you, Ms. Ortega. You've been a blessing to me!

  • Wow! I passed my CPC exam! Mrs. Ortega and Medical Coding Academy (MCA) took 3 days to teach the CPC coding course techniques that I’ve been studying for... read more years. I did great with my coding online studies through AAPC, but when it came time for testing, I missed it twice. I thank GOD for putting people in my life that has helped me achieve my goal, to be a CPC. Thank you to my husband and family for helping and encouraging me. Thank you to three ladies who are friends/coworkers that also encouraged me and lead me to MCA. Thank You Mrs. Ortega for showing me that I can do this and for staying with your class throughout the long hours. It was so worth it! Don’t hesitate - go for it! You won’t regret it! Take this course and be on your way to a rewarding career! The cost was minimal compared to what I spent for my previous studies.

  • I had been looking into medical coding for the last year. I had narrowed the decision down to online courses with either the AAPC or AHIMA. Soon after... read more I became even more indecisive after researching both organizations due to mixed reviews. Then in March I came across one of Ms. Ortega's YouTube videos. After watching the first video, she had me hook, line and sinker!!!! This woman is truly a God Send!! Like everyone now reading these reviews, I thought this is crazy amazing!! OMG this is just too good to be true! How am going to become this Go To medical coder in only three days??? Please believe me when I say, it is truly possible. This is the real deal! During the months following up to the three day course, I had watched all of Ms. Ortega's videos....more than once...and took notes. The course only costs $1280 and MCA works with you in regards to a payment plan. After registering for the CPC course, MCA mails their students pre-work. The pre-work will take roughly 20 to 25 hours to complete and it is truly essential when taking the course. I attended the course in Dallas, TX at the end of July. We had about 95 students attending the class. One student had even flown all the way from Hawaii just to attend! I'm not going to lie, the course is intense but you will learn a vast amount of information in only three days. Ms. Ortega and her MCA staff are truly amazing!!!!!!!!! She is an explosive powerhouse of coding knowledge and breaks everything down for you by having you work from the ground up. I can not stress enough how important it is to complete both the pre-work and homework. The completion of this work can either make you or break you on the board exam. Ms. Ortega also gives you interviewing tips along with helpful real world practice scenarios that will benefit you after you pass the exam. Now with the Dallas course, students are given an option of taking the board exam on the fourth day. I was one of those students who chose to take the exam on the fourth day. Unfortunately I did not pass the first time. It had absolutely nothing to do with Ms. Ortega and her classroom instruction. From what I've heard many students pass on the first try. Unfortunately I was not one of those students. I felt pretty good coming out of the exam room and thought I had at least passed with a 70 but to my dismay I missed it by three points. Three points!!!! You know what though....It's okay. AAPC offers one free retake!!! Thank you God!! After I found out the horrible news, I texted Ms. Ortega. She was extremely understanding and suggested I retake the exam within the month. For the next three weeks, I studied at least one hour everyday. I took the retake exam and a week later found out I PASSED!!!!!!! I'm still elated from the news and can't wait to continue on with my medical coding career!! So in conclusion if you feel beyond confident with taking the board exam on the fourth day then I say go for it but if you're someone who may need more time to study, I would suggest delaying the exam for a couple of weeks. Good luck future Go To Coders!!!

  • Medical Coding Academy has been a great blessing. I went in my first day of class as green as anyone could be. I had heard about billing and coding but... read more didn't know much. Mrs. Ortega is passionate about teaching and you can see the excitement and love for her students. Mrs. Ortega teaches with enthusiasm and simplicity to where you understand and get excited about medical coding. I was blown away by how a code can explain so much about a patient. At the end of my 3rd class I knew and UNDERSTOOD what I needed to know about medical coding and most of all I have everything I need to pass my exam. I recommend you sign up and take this 3 day course. You will go from, "what did I get myself into" to "I got this, I can do this". Thank you Mrs. Ortega for lighting a fire in me. I can't wait to see what awaits me in my career path.

  • The 3-day course was a excellent experience for me and let me tell you that it was a lot of work but in the end after taking the exam on... read more the 4th day it was all worth it. Let me tell you about the star of this course Mrs. Ortega. She is a wonderful teacher I have never met any teacher who is as dedicated to her students as she is. She is there to help you no matter what , if you can't find a page she will come to you and help you find a page if you can't understand a topic in class she will explain it to you until you get it. She really wants us to do well and help us. I feel really blessed to have met her and I am really grateful for all she has done for me and for our class. Its not just the her but even her staff has that same dedication she has. They will help you and put in all what they have to achieve your goal. Everyone there is so kind and helpful. The biggest thing I can tell you is just trust Mrs. Ortga because she knows what she is doing listen to her and do what she asks you to do all the pre work and homework because in the beginning I wasn't too sure what was going on with the pre work but once she completed the course everything was so clear. So just trust her and follow her instructions and you don't have to worry because she and her staff will be there for you.

I have no experience in medical coding but after this 3day weekend, I feel like a medical coder already!! I know I will pass this test on the 1st try! Take this class, you will not regret it!!!

  • I attended the CPC boot camp in Atlanta Oct 13-15. I drove six hours to get to her and I would definitely do it again if I had to. It... read more was AMAZING!!! Mrs. Ortega truly has a gift, the way she teaches is one of a kind. She is the best teacher I have ever had. She is tough and she doesn't accept excuses. Her strategies and well thought out class gets you WELL prepared to pass the CPC on the first try. My exam was last Saturday and I passed the CPC exam with flying colors. Mrs. Ortega even provides support after the class, if you need her all you have to do is text her. Let me tell you! The boot camp was intense the work before class that has to be done is serious, then you have homework while in class. It took 3-4 hours each night. I was exhausted, but it was well worth it because I passed on my first try. I had a coworker take a local community college course and she failed the CPC exam. Mrs. Ortega gives you a fail proof plan, there is no way you will not pass if you do EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING she tells you. If you are serious about wanting to enter the medical coding field, then this is the course for you! Thank you so much for sharing your gift Mrs. Ortega. I couldn't have done it without you!!!!

I took the 3 days course for CPC without any prior knowledge about coding, I was a bit skeptical going for the classes but on day 2 i felt like i was confident enough to give the exam. Mrs Ortega was energetic and really responsive with the class and guides you through the subject. She is amazing!

I took the online CPC course and PASSED my test! I work full time so it did take me 4 months. The class was amazing and easy to follow. She gives you all the instruction you need to successfully pass the test. Honestly, she gives you more. I learned more from her then from college classes I took about coding. Mrs. Ortega is amazing woman and a great teacher.

I just passed my CPC exam after Mrs. Ortega's 3 day class!!! Yall, let me tell yall, what they say is TRUE. If you take this class and do EVERYTHING this woman says, you will pass. I had an amazing experience in class, she takes her time to make sure everyone is on the same page and everyone is understanding. No one gets left behind!! I actually failed my first attempt of the exam; however I will admit that was me not doing everything she said, how she said it. After I failed, she took so much time talking to me over FG messenger, working with me and talking me through how to pass my next attempt. She even provided me with a couple of extra study guides and mock exams to make sure I had the tools I needed. I can't say enough good things about her truly!! If you're debating doing this course...DO IT!!

Hello everyone, I passed my CPC exam within a short span of 1 month after taking an online course from MCA. Mrs. Ortega will impart an enormous amount of knowledge and tricks on how to pass your exam within the allotted time. She is a fabulous and dynamic personality. You will be captivated by her motivational words. Just do whatever Mrs. Ortega says and nothing else; follow her path. She will amaze you with a plethora of medical coding skills. If anyone wants to pass the national board exam on time, then Medical Coding Academy is the only place you can trust, and Mrs. Ortega is the goddess; just trust her. I am so grateful to her and Medical Coding Academy for making my dream come true. Thank you so much, Mrs. Ortega; you’re a gem.

I just wanted to say thank you to Ms. Ortega and all the wonderful people at MCA. I'm so happy that I took the online course. I saw her videos on YouTube and saw the passion that she had for her program and wanting to help others. It was the best choice I ever made and I would do it again. I recently took my exam Dec. 29 online and found out the next day I passed! Now I am on the search for a job. I will definitely be back to add to my alphabet soup!!

Hi everyone! I passed the COC exam! I am so grateful that I discovered Mrs. Ortega and MCA. This is my second certification under Mrs. Ortega's instruction this year. I took the MCA online courses for both the CPC and COC preparation. Honestly, she has been an unexpected blessing in my life this year. I have no doubt whatsoever that God intervened in my discovering her class. She is an amazing teacher. I am going to get my CRC and CPMA certifications next. I would strongly encourage anyone undecided about taking a class, to make a decision and step out on faith. Nothing is impossible with God.

MEDICAL CODING ACADEMY BOOT CAMP, A PATHWAY TO SUCCESS IN CODING BOARD EXAMINATIONS. I was introduced to the Medical Coding Academy by a more knowledgeable friend in the field of Billing and Coding. He told me that the curriculum is geared towards Board Certification of AAPC credentials, but it covers substantial coding syllabus for AHIMA certification. I was preparing for AHIMA certification, so I enrolled for the just concluded Dallas Medical Coding Academy, and this has made positive impact in my preparation for the exams, focused my mind on the techniques of passing the exam, and as the Lord will have it, I passed my AHIMA CCS exam last Thursday, barely 2 weeks after the Boot Camp. My experience with the Boot Camp was positive, positive, and positive. Mrs. Ortega is a gifted Teacher, who puts the interest of her students at heart first. Her passion to teach, her enthusiasm to impart knowledge, and her desire to carry you along, by making you believe in yourself is unrivalled. She simplifies the subject matter of coding to the level that you can grasp, brings out simple analogy to make the contents to be easily understood and assimilated. Though the program was jam-packed and exhaustive three days, there was never a dull moment. Her drive was incomparable, her zeal was infectious. With that, you were on your toes all through, no time to be bored, no time to slumber or fall asleep. We were all wide awake with expectation of what next in her bag of impartation of knowledge. Finally, at the end of the last session of day three of the Boot Camp, she gave us half hour talk encouraging us, making us believe in ourselves, and that we can surmount this exam, and that the only impediment on our ways is our self-doubts, unbelief, and probably loss of momentum. She encouraged us to carry this momentum to the exam hall, ride the wave of self-confidence and self-assurance, and through God’s good grace success will be our portions. I did all these, and carried the momentum into AHIMA exam hall this Thursday, and it was success. I thank the Almighty God, the fountain of all knowledge for this, and I acknowledge Mrs. Ortega, and all the staff of Medical Coding Academy for their assistance, friendliness, accommodation, and for restoring our confidence in ourselves. I highly recommend the 3-Day Medical Coding Academy to anyone preparing to write either the AAPC, CPC, or AHIMA CCS Board Examinations. Follow all what you are told in the course, and put them into practice, and success will be outcome. Dipo Olabumuyi, CBCS, CCS.
