The ORIGINAL 2 Day Medical Coding Boot Camp

Hello fellow Coders, future coders and MCA family! I have some great news that I would like to share that might encourage someone that’s reading this post. Before I share... read more the news I have to tell the complete story as to why this is a big deal for me. Many of you know or have read my previous post about my recent success ( taking Mrs. Ortega’s 3 Day CPC prep course and passing the board exam on the 4th day ) through the Medical Coding Academy in January of this year. I had shared a little bit of my story about how I had taken the CPC exam a couple of times ( prior to attending Mrs. Ortega’s 3 Day CPC course ) and failed. What I didn’t say, was that i had already been working as a Medical Coder for roughly a year and a half. When I got hired I was made aware that I must have my coding certification within 1 year of employment or I would loose my job because the organization only wanted individuals that are certified . I was also made aware that once I became certified I would get a promotion. I took on the challenge because I was certain that I could get my certification within 1 year. At that time I was enrolled in a coding program at a local technical college. When I took the CPC exam for the first time and failed I was about 6 months into employment. This happened at the end of the year which meant tests were limited and most test sites were already at capacity. I waited about 3-4 more months before I re-took the CPC exam the second time and failed. At that point the pressure was really weighing heavy on me because I knew that I had to get that certification in order to keep my job and I was rapidly approaching my 1 year of employment/deadline. At my 1 year evaluation I was given an extension on getting my certification. That’s when I sought the Medical Coding Academy. You know the rest of the story but, I honestly feel like MCA was a blessing to me and I am/will be forever grateful the experience and the time/effort that Mrs. Ortega puts into her students. The great news that I want to share with you all is that I recently received my promotion and my supervisor gave me a “ shout out” this week at our morning huddle for my name being listed under the “Magna Cum Laude “ section of this months AAPC magazine ( was going to add the pic that I took of my name in the magazine but I don’t see the option to add an attachment/picture). It was a great feeling to be recognized and well worth the stress and anxiety. Lol.. Sorry, for the extensive post but, I felt like it was necessary and I hope that my story might encourage someone who’s in doubt or feeling discouraged. I also want to mention that I recently registered for the CPMA ( Certified Professional Medical Auditor) through MCA. Wish me luck and stay tuned for another successful story. Be blessed y’all!!

Recently spent the weekend in Ms. Ortega's CPC class in Chicago. I have zero coding experience. She is very detailed and intense. You can tell she has... read more her heart in her mission to help others transition to a medical coding career. As a former facilitator (teacher) of MBA's I can tell you she has the communications skills in simplifying what is a difficult subject area and how to handle the CPC test which historically has low pass scores on the first attempt. I am looking forward to taking the test next month. Thank you Ms. Ortega for your "Pot Of God" heart and the effort you put into helping others!

I did my CPC with Medical Coding Academy in 2021. And now I did my CPMA certification with them. Mrs. Ortega has made it so easy to understand. She connects... read more with real life examples which definitely helps to understand better. She is a wonderful teacher. While watching her videos, I feel as if I m in a classroom. Just follow Mrs. Ortega’s direction and move ahead..the success is yours…

Medical Coding Academy online was such a blessing to me! From the moment the shipment arrived, it was very evident the passion and hard work Mrs. Ortega put into perfecting... read more this program. The materials are well designed-from the tabbing system all the way to the flashcards and resumes, Mrs. Ortega thought of it all for her students. The CPC exam is a challenging test, but with this program, I knew I was equipped to handle that challenge. Mrs. Ortega teaches you invaluable information and strategies to master everything the test throws at you. I am pleased to say that I passed the exam on the first try! The most important part of it all is that Mrs. Ortega gives all the glory to God, and her heart is for her students to know Him. She uses her platform for His glory! If you are thinking of getting into medical coding, I highly recommend Medical Coding Academy!

Extremely recommend Ms.Ortega she does amazing work in just 3 days !

she is a gift to the teaching of coding. I was amazed by her skill set. She breaks it down for you in ways you never thought was possible. I... read more left other coding Facebook groups so I wouldn't get confused. I have looked into coding for a couple years now. I searched "coding bootcamp" and Ms. Ortega came up. I was skeptical at first, thinking there is no way. But a part of me was saying do it. Maybe it was my higher power telling me to finally jump and commit. I truly believed she would show me the way. She did! If you have question whether you should take this class or not, please I hope my review will make you jump! I went to the bootcamp in ATL. I won't lie I didn't sleep for 3 days. We were in class for 11 hours and had hours of homework, but it was beyond worth it. She keeps you awake and focused the entire time. Thank you, Ms. Ortega.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Ms. Ortega and the medical coding academy! I never thought I would be able to fully comprehend medical coding and... read more exceed in my career ... but it is because of her and this academy that has completely changed my life! I cannot thank you enough for such a humble, amazing experience ! It was worth every penny!

For the last 10 years I have been a stay at home mom and I'm so blessed to be able to do that. Last summer I was told about a... read more lady who travelled the country and taught medical coding in a weekend. I thought if something is medically related, how can it be taught in a weekend? I hemmed and hawed about it and decided to try it. I had no medical background other than personal and familial experience. She and her wonderful staff sent me a packet and to be completely honest, I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of information that they expect you to have completed before you even get there. Acting on faith I completed every thing and made the drive to Dallas for her class. It was intense to say the least! Mrs. Ortega is one of the most amazing women I have ever met. Due to unforseen circumstances, I was unable to test before the end of the year when guidelines changed. Months later I decided to try again and I'm so glad that I did. Mrs. Ortega is one of those people you just have to like. She's so talented and giving. She really cares for each and every one of us that comes her way. If you don't understand something she will sit there and explain it till you get it. She's not one of those people who are just in it for the money. This is a very lucrative market and she's the best at making sure you get in it! She really goes above and beyond what most teachers are willing to do to make sure you get the best experience. I cannot stress enough: DO THE PREWORK!!! Expect 2 hours of homework. DO THE HOMEWORK!!! It WILL be worth it! Thank you Mrs. Ortega for doing what you do and for being the person you are. You are truly unique in a world of monotony. I can't wait to come back and take the next course!
