  • Before I found out about Ms Ortega, I took the course with someone else and failed the test twice. I took Ms Ortega 3 day course Nov 10-12 2017. Took... read more the test for the third time in Dallas with Ms Ortega and I passed with 78%. I learned with Ms Ortega in 3 days than I did in 10 weeks. If anybody is looking to become coder I would truly recommend Ms Ortega.

  • Best Course I could have ever taken, I drove all the way from Denver Colorado to take 3 courses all at once so I could get that alphabet soup Ms.... read more Ortega talked about in her other YouTube Videos. If you have the money to take several courses all at once, I highly recommend doing so . I tested out all three of my exams pretty much within the same month and passed all three in the 1st try. Now I am CPC, COC, & CPMA board certified and it is all thanks to Ms. Ortega and her wonderful school, The Medical Coding Academy!

  • Mrs. Ortega has extensive knowledge of medical coding and billing. She is very committed to helping her students, and makes everyone feel important. Her energy and optimism is... read more endless. She breaks down the test in a way that helps you to understand what the most reasonable answer is. It is very apparent that a LOT of hard work and long hours have been dedicated by Mrs Ortega and her team to give you the best opportunity to pass your exam! If you have just enough knowledge of coding to make you overthink the questions on the exam, like me, then you have to trust her and focus on the class. I highly recommend the 3-day boot camp.

  • 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 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!!!!
