Go To Coders® Modifiers Laminate

Just wanted to thank the Jedi CodeMaster Ms. Ortega – what a GREAT 3 day class you presented in San Diego (May 12-14, 2017). A little about myself, I... read more am a self employed business person and have no experience in the medical coding industry. I knew about the profession and like the idea that you can become a remote coders once you build enough experience. Heard there is a demand for this profession thru friends and websites. I was planning to take an online program or classes at a vocational school on medical coding. I did some research. What I found out worried me. Most of the respondents said that after taking there classes, they still didn’t feel confident about taking the credential exams or were more confused about coding before going to these schools. I even had a friend, who is now a CPC Coder; took him about 5 times to finally pass the exam. I asked my friend what was the challenge and he said it was the time. Could never finish all the questions in time. That’s when I realized I needed to find a school that also teaches test strategies and time management to tackle this exam. I googled “Medical Coding with Test Prep” and Medical Coding Academy shows up as one of the results. That’s when I discovered the You Tube videos Ms. Ortega put on her website regarding all that is wrong with the curriculums of other schools and why so many students were frustrated. That convinced me that Medical Coding Academy was the answer to my prayers. Was able to sign up for the class in my home town of San Diego. (Check out her YouTube Videos) If you do decide to take the CPC 3 Day course, be prepared to do the pre-work and don’t come to the class with some lame excuse you didn’t finish it. She will get on you for not doing it not because she wants it done but you will get lost the minute she starts the lecture. Not only that, you will slow the class down because you will be asking questions like “what do you mean by - “see code 99655, or “- No Units”. That wasn’t in my book - that’s because those were the pre-work notes you had to write in the books before going to the class. You will be doing about 15 to 25 hours (depends on how fast you can highlite and handwrite) of pre-work organizing your 3 books (ICD-10, CPT and HCPCS) with Ms. Ortega’s tabbing system, highlites of key words and hand written pre-notes. WARNING: If you don’t do this, you are just wasting your time and money and won’t learn anything. DO THE PRE-WORK!!! She does not waste time and gets right down to teaching exam techniques that will get you thru the exam and finish all the questions within the 5 hours and 40 min. Along the way, she has teaching moments that will help you once you get a job as a coder. Once you finish her 3 day lecture and decide when you want to take the exam, the Academy gives you more homework in preparation for the exam. Ms. Ortega won’t leave you hanging and recommends you take the exams A.S.A.P. so you don’t forget the techniques she has taught you. So weather you take it 2, 3 or 4 weeks from the day you finished the lectures, she will have a review outline schedule for you. That was just icing on the cake for me :-) BOTTOM LINE: I highly recommend her class - this is from someone who has no experience in the field. I feel confident that I can pass this exam not from memorizing everything but from organizing all the resources in the 3 books in such a way that you can find the resources quickly and not get stuck on a question. Planning to take the CPC exam 4 weeks from now. TRUST what Jedi CodeMaster Ortega teaches you and you too will feel the confidence in tackling the exam. I plan to take her classes in the future for the CIC and COC Good luck and God Bless. Vince M.

I took Ms. Ortega's 3-day Boot Camp mid-March in Dallas because I'd heard great things about it and of course, I was eager to pass my CPC exam on my... read more first try. Well, let me tell you... the course is a real Boot Camp!! It's very intense and you really have to work hard, sleep very little and pay attention to everything Ms. Ortega says... in the end, you'll feel tired, but it will all be worth it!! I took my test last Saturday and today I got the awesome news that I passed the test on my first try with a score of 87%!!! I'm sure that without Ms. Ortega's teachings, I would've gotten lost in all the confusing terminology, double and triple guessing myself after each answer and would've never finished the test!! We all know some cases can be extremely confusing, but with Ms. Ortega's strategies, you'll be able to abstract the most important information and answer fast and accurately in order to "keep it going" and finish the test with enough correct answers to pass on your first try!! I had no previous coding experience and I just did!! Thank you, Ms. Ortega!! I sure hope to come back for more of your teachings to obtain more certifications!

I just took the CPC course with Mrs Ortega and it was great! Not only did she make sure everyone understood the lessons, she taught us techniques that will... read more help us be faster and better coders. You can tell Mrs Ortega cares about her students and she knows how to teach. I recommend her course. I also recommend that when you do sign up that you DO THE PRE WORK! Thank you for creating this course Mrs. Ortega!

I recently attended the 3-day Medical Coding Class in Dallas, Tx taught by Ms. Delissa Ortega. Before this class I did take a 9-month course in coding at a local... read more college. However, I feel that I learned more in the 3-day class then the 9-month course. Ms. Ortega is a very dedicated teacher my and she inspired me to accomplish goals. I feel this course has prepared me for a rewarding future in the medical coding field. Also, you will learn something new if you decide to attend one of the courses that are offered.

Just finish a intense 3 day Medical Coding class! It was worth every moment. Mrs. Oetega is a awesome anointed teacher sent from God.

Believe me when I say that Mrs. Ortiz is a woman of her word... I can't even exaggerate how simple BUT knowledgeable this woman is. She literally took a beginner... read more and made a GO 2 Coder!!! I say this from my heart. You will cheat yourself if you go anywhere else. I was amazed and impressed on the first day. Opening books not knowing what I was doing to feeling like I could (and I can) walk in any job and code like I've been doing it my whole life. Don't take my word for it. Just see for yourself!!!

Taking medical coding academy has really been a blessing for me. Mrs. Ortega is very detail . With the help of god. she makes yu believe in yourself and no... read more tht nothing is too hard to handle. Follow her directions and stay focused in class and you will get back what the devil tried to steal from you. I thank god for allowing me the finances and time to go after my dream and passion.
