Mandy Castillo

I did the CBCS course completely online. First off I need to say that I didn't do enough research before hand and I didn't not realize that the certification that one gets through the NHA at the end of this course IS NOT what companies are looking for when you're trying to get a coding job. For that you need to go through AAPC or AHIMA and they are over all much cheaper but can NOT be done with financial AID. So if that's what you want, this is not what you need. Over all, I feel like this worked for me because I had 2 kids at home and I honestly don't think I could have completed the program in a traditional in person course because I just didn't have consistent scheduling for it. If you are a person that really needs direction this is probably not the best idea. While you can email your instructors, there were a few that were really terrible about getting back to me, so you have to be good at researching and working on your own. I will say my student advisor was amazing and was always there to help. I was disappointed with amount of coding that was taught. It was so little but like I said this program will not get you a Medical Coder job so keep that in mind. The externship was disappointing in the sense that I don't think externship coordinator reached out to any of the place she asked me to submit and just stuck me in a place they already had a working relationship with. The typical response time for any kind of question or issue from the externship team was really lagging. They also took 3 weeks to finally get me my scrubs, by then I had already bought my own. I did really enjoy the externship though, the people were great and I was offered the job but turned it down to find a work from since I still have one child at home. Over all, the experience had its pros and cons and I do feel like it was too expensive for what it was. Really consider what type of job you really want as this will likely only get an office job that is NOT a medical coding job.
