My name is Vontreal Daye and I took this class this weekend May 17th... I was so nervous about what to expect. Nervous about if I would learn anything, but... read more more than anything else nervous about if it was a fraud!!! The teacher Mrs. Ortega is AMAZING AND EXCELLENT AT WHAT SHE DOES! I am so excited about this board exam and passing it. Because I will on June 1, 2019. I want to say thank you so much for your teaching and your wonderful spirit Mrs. Ortega! This weekend was hard, but so worth it!

I had no medical coding experience prior to taking Mrs. Ortega's 3 days CPC class but after the 3 days I was impress on how much I have learned. I... read more took the 3 days class in Dallas on July 28-30. I took the exam right after finishing the class but I didn't pass. I think it was just nerves. So I let Mrs. Ortega know right away. She was very encouraging and did everything in her power to help me prepare for my second exam which I took three weeks later. I just found out today that I PASSED. I strongly believe if you don't pass the first time, then I will guarantee you will pass the second time but the goal is to pass the first time!!! Mrs. Ortega is one of a kind. she is tough but dedicated, caring, and supportive teacher. She mean everything she said. She puts 150% into her class. I highly recommended everyone to take her class. If you plan to take her class, then Please DO ALL THE PRE-WORKS that are given to you because if you don't then don't even bother to show up to class. You will be totally lost in class because there is no time to waste. The class do goes fast but it is all worth it in the end. She said "A short term pain is a long time gain!!!" Anyhow, thank you Mrs. Ortega for your knowledge and talent that you have pass on to me. I will forever be grateful for what you have done. I plan to take some of her other class to up my credential later on down the road. MRS.ORTEGA ROCKS!!!

Amazing Class. Very fast pace but very well thought out. Learned more than I thought was possible in 3 days. You are doing a Great Job!

What a great 3 day course!! When you complete all of the assignments as requested especially before day one, you will gain so much more from the class. It is... read more intense. However, Mrs. Ortega superb teaching skills are top notch!! More importantly she actually cares about ensuring that everyone can achieve success, if they also do their part. I'm so happy I found Mrs. Ortega and decided to go to her class now finally I can soon start my next career!! I will see you at your next course in July/Orlando for the COC...BECAUSE YOU'RE AWESOME!!!

I just finished my 3-day CPC bootcamp in Philadelphia and all I can say is wow! From the get-go, I knew from the YouTube videos that if I was going... read more to learn medical coding the ONLY person who could teach me would be Mrs. Ortega. I don't like being confused by 'fluff' and left hanging, not knowing what information is important over other information, etc. or just plain boring classroom instruction or online instruction. I was RIGHT. Mrs. Ortega is far from boring and she doesn't fill you up with fluff. She gets right down to the essentials. The 12 hours FLEW by. I enjoyed every second of it. I learned so much more than I ever imagined. I feel 100 percent confident in not only passing my CPC on the first try but I also feel very confident in entering the field. Mrs. Ortega is the real deal. She is the ONLY instructor for me. I look forward to taking more classes with her when I am ready to attain additional credentials. Thank you Mrs. Ortega for your knowledge, teaching expertise, and the sacrifices you make to travel to us!!! I know when I pass my CPC exam in two weeks that I would have never been able to if it weren't for your class. Lea :)

Mrs. Ortega and the Medical Coding Academy is real ! I was a little skeptical at first. "How can a three day course help me gain all this knowledge?"... read more I took a leap of faith and I must say, I am happy I did ! Mrs. Ortega is a fantastic teacher. If you come prepared and open to learn, you will be excited to want more of her knowledge. I will say one thing, THAT YOU MUST DO YOUR TO DO LIST AND HOMEWORK!! You will struggle in class. You will get no sleep trying to catch up and do the work she assigns you. I would like to thank Mrs. Ortega for getting me excited to want to move even further in this industry. Thank you again for sharing all your knowledge and giving me the drive to move forward. Will see you soon.

A Power House Teacher!!! Thanks to Mrs. Ortega and the 3 day course I am Eager to take the exam and this time I am so confident about it- I... read more couldn’t say that before. She has so much knowledge and cares for her students. The pre-work and after class homework totally worth the time and effort. I am that person that earned the 2 year Associates Medical Billing and Coding Degree/ Summa Cum Laude. Took the board exam twice and failed. Through the university I learned countless office and AHIMA’s policies but no coding or exam prep. I am still paying the school’s debt and no medical billing and coding certifications yet. I wish I had known of MCA’s courses and save me time and money. I can’t wait to test and post an update. A big shout out to the MCA team as well Mrs. Landers, Mrs. Underwood, Mrs. Newbbie and Mrs. Belen were all so kind and helpful.

This class is a must for anyone wanting to be a medical coder. Mrs. Ortega and her staff are amazing!
