  • I don't even know where to start! I could talk Mrs. Ortega and this company for days! However, I will do my upmost to help you to understand the... read more impact that Mrs. Ortega has made on my life, and my classmates lives during my CPC course this weekend. I have just arrived back home from my trip to Charleston, SC and even though it is 1am, I could not go to sleep until I wrote this review in an effort to URGE anyone interested to sign up for one of her classes and do it ASAP! Like many of you, I came across her YouTube videos while searching for info about Medical Coding. Little did I know about how that would later turn out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made! I watched one video and thought "Hmmm, she seems nice, I think I'll watch another one". With each passing video, I became more and more convinced that "Wow, its hard to accept the fact that there are actually people like her in this world that are THAT genuine, who care THAT much about helping others, who tirelessly put their heart and soul into educating others so that they are afforded an opportunity to change their life! Trust me when I say, BELIEVE IT! Now, you may be thinking that this sounds a little overkill with the nicey nice stuff. Well, all I can say is that if you take a leap of faith and give yourself the gift of attending one of her classes you will leave there wanting to thank anyone who had any part of convincing you to JUST JUMP FOR GOODNESS SAKE! Don't be fooled by other organizations who lead you to believe that you can't learn what it takes to be successful at passing your board exam AND landing your dream job with a 3 day education! Mrs. Ortega has proven this over and over and over again. Keep in mind that for every day you hesitate because you're skeptical, thats another day you've missed to land your dream job as an EXTREMELY WELL PAID and respected medical coder! Her conviction to teaching and changing lives is 2nd to none! She teaches you INVALUABLE tips for passing the exam and interviewing for the job! She also painstakinly came up with a strategy for not only test taking, but more importantly, helping to familiarize yourself with all of your books and how to use them to properly code. Her tabbing system is something that will blow your mind! Please don't let the little voice in your head convince you that this is too good to be true! It is absolutely NOT A SCAM! It's a GRAND SLAM! I will advocate for this company and Mrs. Ortega in an effort to pay it forward for as long as it takes to convince the doubters out there to trust her and her ability. What you see on her videos is what you get! She is extremely down to earth and very approachable and eager to help you with any questions or issues you may have. She is a POWERHOUSE of a woman in a vey small package but dont mistake that for weakness. She has put YEARS into developing this very unique learning structure in which she is, with good reason, extremely proud of. She expects her students to listen, learm, and apply everything she teaches. You need to come to class prepared to learn and follow all her instructions to a T! It is not and easy course but she doesnt have unsuccessful students. She simply won't allow it! If you put forth the effort and feel as though you are just not quite clear, there is no end to the lengths she will go to in order insure your success. If this is something you really want, be assured she wants it for you even more! I feel as though wriiting this review is the VERY LEAST that I can do to repay her for giving me the skills to change my life for the better! All I can leave you with is this...if you are working at a job that doesn't pay your nealy enough and you're struggling to make ends meet...do yourself the biggest favor and pick up the phone right now and register for the earliest class you can attend. Just do it! For those of you who heed my advice and make it to her class, YOU'RE WELCOME!

  • I registered and took this Bootcamp in Orlando. I can only say that after this intense course. Mrs. Ortega is no joke. I went to college for Medical Coding our... read more professor had a PHD and writes books on coding. My entire classmates including myself graduated with zero confidence to take the state test. Several of us have outsource refresher courses to find the confidence. Not one has passed the state test. I just finished taking this course and am scheduled to take my exam this month. I can honestly say I am confident and comfortable to say I am ready. . Mrs.Ortega prepares you to succeed in your state test. One of my classmates in this course took the exam in Georgia this past Monday and am happy to say she passed. If you like to win and succeed, this is this place to begin. Word of advise pay attention to every word. If you are making the investment take the time to learn. You will get what you put your mind to. If you want to learn; learn this is you opportunity to learn an abundance colleges and universities don't give, but a student loan. Give yourself the opportunity to open doors for yourself. Thank you Mrs. Ortega, Belen and all at the Academy for this great eye opening opportunity. See you guys soon.

  • In need of a career change, I watched a few videos on YouTube and happened upon Medical Coding Academy’s channel. From the first minute, it was clear that Mrs. Ortega... read more was passionate about the industry and wasn't afraid to talk about the ins and outs, whether positive or negative, of the business. I watched every video on Medical Coding Academy's channel and became convinced that medical coding could be the new career I needed. Still, I was a little skeptical. How could I learn all the tools I needed to become a certified coder in three days when the other programs I researched required one to two years? The task seemed impossible until I read reviews from her former students. Like me, they had their doubts in the beginning, but after experiencing Mrs. Ortega’s unique method of teaching, I decided that if all these people could do the unthinkable, so could I. I registered for the three day course that took place in February and now, less than a month later, I’m CPC certified! I passed the exam on the very first try. Before the course, I had absolutely no knowledge of the medical field. Becoming certified took a lot of hard work on limited sleep, but it was all worth it. Mrs. Ortega is a miracle worker and I can’t wait to earn more certifications under her steadfast tutelage. If you are where I was, unsure and wondering if the impossible is possible, do yourself a favor and register for the course. You won’t regret it! Thank you Mrs. Ortega and the MCA team!

  • Oh my God! I've never been able to afford to travel to take MrsOrtegas 3 day class but then i saw she took her course on line! I... read more bought it 5 days ago and I'm beyond hooked!! I was one of the unfortunate people who got talked into the aapc online course last year and it was a total nightmare...confusing and highly frustrating!!! But in taking the MCA online course, I'm just so thrilled!!! i broke into tears just watching the very first video because I already knew I had done the right thing. I was immediately addicted! When I say theres something real special about Mrs Ortega I mean it tenfold!!! You can see right away in her passionate way of teaching that this is no job to her but her purpose...her calling!! Her way of simplifying all of the difficult guidelines are are unreal. I have watched so many educators on YouTube but nooone holds a candle to this woman...nobody!!! Not only are you "sucked in" to her teachings but she is so inspiring along the way and when you least expect it she makes you fall off your chair laughing!!! Shes just amazing to watch and her voice is heavenly! She basically does all the hard work for you and spoon feeds us. Indeed this lady truly is the Mother of Coders. Thank you for being a one of kind teacher ..this industry needed you and we are all blessed through you. I will be posting as I get further into the course. P.s. the Take home test prep kit is head over heals genius! Everything you will possibly need besides the online teachings are contained in the kit. I literally threw away every other study guide I ever had...I'm just in shock over this second to none online experience theres no other word for it.

  • I highly recommend The Medical Coding Academy! I am married, with 3 children and a career, so time is EXTREMELY VALUABLE. Since Medical Coding will be a complete career change... read more for me, I did not want to enroll in a long course to 1) Discover I wouldn't like it. 2) Not get the info I need. Both would waste time and money. I was never skeptical. I considered it a wise investment and I got MORE than I expected! Mrs. Ortega is even more genuine in person than she is in her videos (that was a bonus). It is so obvious that teaching and helping people is her gift and passion! Thank you to Mrs. Ortega and everyone at MCA! ***Tips for success - 1) Do all the pre-work before class (give yourself ample time). 2) If you are traveling, consider staying in a hotel closer. It will be an intense weekend. You'll appreciate the time you save on travel (to rest & study). 3) Prepare to be off line and focused only on the course that weekend (no hanging out, etc). UPDATE 4/13/17- I passed my CPC test on the 1st attempt with an 86%. I have no medical training or experience. I OWE IT ALL to the Medical Coding Academy (and God) and what I was taught in class! No doubt in my mind. I sat next to someone that worked in a hospital, took a 6 month course, and didn't finish the test. That speaks volumes about this course!

  • I want to give a big THANK YOU to the staff at MCA!!!! As soon as I made my first phone call they were able to answer all my questions... read more and guided me through the process to get started. 2 weeks later I met one of the best instructors I could have had. None of my University professors compared to Mrs. Ortega. She is filled with so much energy and really has her heart into teaching. She not only helped me prepare for the CPC exam, but she got me really motivated to pursue more credentials. For anyone about to take the CPC exam I HIGHLY suggest you take the prep class. There is so much information you will miss out on if you don't. I get my results tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited for the future. Thank you MCA!
