  • I had an extremely wonderful experience with MCA and Mrs. Ortega during the time of my 3 day course in Orlando this past weekend! Admittedly, I had doubts about my... read more abilities to learn everything I needed to pass my board exam within only a 3 day weekend course, along with absolutely zero experience in medical coding and billing (not to mention never laying eyes on a single code prior to class). I am the type of person that likes to explore all my options and see everything out as they are. I am telling you now, DO NOT GO THE LONG WAY AROUND THE MOUNTAIN!!! Sign up for her course, it is only for your own good! Absolutely everything that is pertinent to passing the board exam is covered within your 3 days with Mrs. Ortega. Do not waste your ENERGY, MONEY, or TIME with any other program, whether it is a vocational school or online program. You will only be hurting yourself in the end. You will not gain the essential and practical knowledge needed to pass your exam, become certified, and land a job. Mrs. Ortega is absolutely your best coach, and breaks everything down until she makes you completely understand, before moving on. Both her and her staff have an incredible response time, and work around the clock to take care of their students. They absolutely have your best interest at heart while you are a part of their program. She is such a genuine and good-hearted person, and wants to make sure every single one of her students succeed. I know walking out of class that I will absolutely pass my Board Exam on the first try. Long story short, take the plunge, YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF LATER!! �

  • I took the 3-day coding course this past weekend and Miss Ortega was awesome...I will recommend her entire course to others...

  • 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.

  • Where do I begin? I took my test today and funny story, when we were in the class Ms. Ortega’s saying is KEEP IT MOVING. By the way, I wore... read more my bracelet to my test. But anyway, she kept saying, pick this answer and KEEP IT MOVING. The whole time I was taking my test, I literally could hear her saying it every time I chose the right one. I even smiled and laughed to myself. Who does that during a test? Thank you Ms. Ortega and her holy crew for being patient with us, and sharing your gift, your passion, but most of all, your time. I felt like a rock star going into that test and with an hour to spare, I walked out feeling just the same, it’s all because of you. When I pass I know for a fact, I’ll be back on here posting that BIG PASSING SCORE! I’m gonna take a picture. Bless you!!

  • First of all I would like to thank God for leading me to come across your course Mrs. Ortega. Thank you for having a clear vision of life and for... read more bringing your vision and sharing it with us. Thank you so much for investing in students like me whom you have never met. Thank you for walking by faith and lifting our spirits on to a better future. I am so glad that I trusted that little voice God uses to guide us, one we can easily miss. Your love, passion, strength, inspiration, and expert knowledge of billing/coding surpassed any of my pre-conceived notions. I am extremely proud that you have been my teacher and will take you in my mind and heart wherever this journey leads me. Please remember to pamper yourself! God bless you always With love and admiration Annelore Hidalgo (Anne)

  • If you are considering a career in the Medical Coding field I highly suggest the MCA. Mrs. Ortiz is an amazing teacher. I was in the CPC class this past... read more weekend in Dallas and I learned more in her class in the first day than I did in the two year program I just finished. If you choose the course make very certain you do all the necessary pre work and homework before class it is vital to your success in the class. It was long days but well worth it. I plan to go back for more classes. Thank you to Mrs. Ortega and the teachers assistants. I feel confident about taking my test on Saturday 15 Dec. Please pray for me!

I took the 3 days course for CPC without any prior knowledge about coding, I was a bit skeptical going for the classes but on day 2 i felt like i was confident enough to give the exam. Mrs Ortega was energetic and really responsive with the class and guides you through the subject. She is amazing!

I took the online CPC course and PASSED my test! I work full time so it did take me 4 months. The class was amazing and easy to follow. She gives you all the instruction you need to successfully pass the test. Honestly, she gives you more. I learned more from her then from college classes I took about coding. Mrs. Ortega is amazing woman and a great teacher.

I just passed my CPC exam after Mrs. Ortega's 3 day class!!! Yall, let me tell yall, what they say is TRUE. If you take this class and do EVERYTHING this woman says, you will pass. I had an amazing experience in class, she takes her time to make sure everyone is on the same page and everyone is understanding. No one gets left behind!! I actually failed my first attempt of the exam; however I will admit that was me not doing everything she said, how she said it. After I failed, she took so much time talking to me over FG messenger, working with me and talking me through how to pass my next attempt. She even provided me with a couple of extra study guides and mock exams to make sure I had the tools I needed. I can't say enough good things about her truly!! If you're debating doing this course...DO IT!!

Hello everyone, I passed my CPC exam within a short span of 1 month after taking an online course from MCA. Mrs. Ortega will impart an enormous amount of knowledge and tricks on how to pass your exam within the allotted time. She is a fabulous and dynamic personality. You will be captivated by her motivational words. Just do whatever Mrs. Ortega says and nothing else; follow her path. She will amaze you with a plethora of medical coding skills. If anyone wants to pass the national board exam on time, then Medical Coding Academy is the only place you can trust, and Mrs. Ortega is the goddess; just trust her. I am so grateful to her and Medical Coding Academy for making my dream come true. Thank you so much, Mrs. Ortega; you’re a gem.

I just wanted to say thank you to Ms. Ortega and all the wonderful people at MCA. I'm so happy that I took the online course. I saw her videos on YouTube and saw the passion that she had for her program and wanting to help others. It was the best choice I ever made and I would do it again. I recently took my exam Dec. 29 online and found out the next day I passed! Now I am on the search for a job. I will definitely be back to add to my alphabet soup!!

Hi everyone! I passed the COC exam! I am so grateful that I discovered Mrs. Ortega and MCA. This is my second certification under Mrs. Ortega's instruction this year. I took the MCA online courses for both the CPC and COC preparation. Honestly, she has been an unexpected blessing in my life this year. I have no doubt whatsoever that God intervened in my discovering her class. She is an amazing teacher. I am going to get my CRC and CPMA certifications next. I would strongly encourage anyone undecided about taking a class, to make a decision and step out on faith. Nothing is impossible with God.

MEDICAL CODING ACADEMY BOOT CAMP, A PATHWAY TO SUCCESS IN CODING BOARD EXAMINATIONS. I was introduced to the Medical Coding Academy by a more knowledgeable friend in the field of Billing and Coding. He told me that the curriculum is geared towards Board Certification of AAPC credentials, but it covers substantial coding syllabus for AHIMA certification. I was preparing for AHIMA certification, so I enrolled for the just concluded Dallas Medical Coding Academy, and this has made positive impact in my preparation for the exams, focused my mind on the techniques of passing the exam, and as the Lord will have it, I passed my AHIMA CCS exam last Thursday, barely 2 weeks after the Boot Camp. My experience with the Boot Camp was positive, positive, and positive. Mrs. Ortega is a gifted Teacher, who puts the interest of her students at heart first. Her passion to teach, her enthusiasm to impart knowledge, and her desire to carry you along, by making you believe in yourself is unrivalled. She simplifies the subject matter of coding to the level that you can grasp, brings out simple analogy to make the contents to be easily understood and assimilated. Though the program was jam-packed and exhaustive three days, there was never a dull moment. Her drive was incomparable, her zeal was infectious. With that, you were on your toes all through, no time to be bored, no time to slumber or fall asleep. We were all wide awake with expectation of what next in her bag of impartation of knowledge. Finally, at the end of the last session of day three of the Boot Camp, she gave us half hour talk encouraging us, making us believe in ourselves, and that we can surmount this exam, and that the only impediment on our ways is our self-doubts, unbelief, and probably loss of momentum. She encouraged us to carry this momentum to the exam hall, ride the wave of self-confidence and self-assurance, and through God’s good grace success will be our portions. I did all these, and carried the momentum into AHIMA exam hall this Thursday, and it was success. I thank the Almighty God, the fountain of all knowledge for this, and I acknowledge Mrs. Ortega, and all the staff of Medical Coding Academy for their assistance, friendliness, accommodation, and for restoring our confidence in ourselves. I highly recommend the 3-Day Medical Coding Academy to anyone preparing to write either the AAPC, CPC, or AHIMA CCS Board Examinations. Follow all what you are told in the course, and put them into practice, and success will be outcome. Dipo Olabumuyi, CBCS, CCS.
