  • I have worn many hats since I was 14. I have been an Ophthalmic Tech since 2014 since and have been looking for a career change. Where I've been for... read more the last 8 yrs, I've taken on the role of filing insurance as well. Finally I made a decision to pursue something more along those lines. A coworker had mentioned this program that his friend took and it was what I was looking for! Ms. Ortega knows what she is talking about. She is an excellent teacher and I wish I had a chance to meet her and thank her personally. Her tabbing system is a God send! Some of the videos are dated but they are working on making things more current. ☆ I scored an 82% on my CPC exam ☆ Thank you Ms. Ortega, Ms. Beverly & MCA ♡

  • I just passed my CPC test on my first try and I couldn’t have done it without Ms. Ortega. I debated for a long time and I can say I... read more don’t regret my decision at all. I was promised that through this 3-day course I will pass my CPC test and that is exactly what I got. The course is not a joke, it takes a lot of determination with less sleep. Ms. Ortega is compassionate and such a beautiful human being, but she can also be a beast in this 3-day course. She will do what it takes for you to pass that test. I will truly treasure the experience I had during this course, and the love that was given to me by Ms. Ortega. Take a leap of faith and you’ll soar through the test!

  • 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.

  • Just finished my 3 day class with Mrs. Ortega. All I can say is WOW! I was so happy in my decision to take this class. She is a fantastic... read more teacher! She is so knowledgeable and personable. She made the days fly by. It was a lot of hard work but so worth the investment. She shared a wealth of information and she presented it in such a way that it was easy to comprehend. I am excited to take the CPC exam and enter the field of coding. If you are on the fence about her boot camp, let me set your mind at ease. It will take faith and some hard work, but if you trust her and you are teachable then you will learn and be confident in your ability to take and pass this board exam. God Bless you Miss Ortega !! Thank you again for being so selfless and sharing your gift to Bless others! Mihaela~ Ontario class March 2018

  • I took the 3 day coding bootcamp in Atlanta in June 2018. Mrs. Ortega was a wonderful, patient, knowledgeable, and caring instructor. There was a lot of pre-work and many... read more nights of only 2 or 3 hours of sleep. It was all worth it. I am now CPC certified thanks to her! You will learn so much and feel confident at the AAPC if you take her course.

  • Words can’t come close to describe Mrs. Ortega’s teaching style! She is unique, tactful and called by Jesus. I came into the class on Friday morning, honestly not even sure... read more a teacher would show up...I was skeptical. She was the best teacher I have ever had in my life- including college. I learned SO MUCH and I didn’t even know what coding was at 8am on Friday. It’s Sunday at 5pm and I’m a confident “Go-to-coder” xoxo, Mrs. Ortega, it’s all about youuuuUuuuUuu 😂
