Hi Precious, how are you? I studied Medical coding and billing too last 2020 and finished it early 2021, but it didn't go to be like a medical coder. Maybe because I don't get any motivation to continue it. Now, I saw you here, proud of you!
Hello. I’ve been binging your videos. I’ve been researching about what school to go. Im considering AMCI, like u, I have no medical background. But I’m nervous about it. You’re very inspiring though.
Nice video, thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi Precious! I've been watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey! It really motivates me.

Hi Precious, thanks for this video. Were you working while taking a clinical coding course?
I love AMCI and Mrs. Jay's videos on KZread! I was so happy when you said that was where you attended your schooling. I did not go with AMCI, but I did not know of them at the time I started getting into medical coding or I would have. I am currently about to take my CPC exam. Would you say all the costs of CEUs, Codify, and just the yearly expenses are worth the job? I get that it can add up, which is why I am curious about your opinion of the whole thing.

Hello, My name is Yasin. I live in Turkey and I am a pharmacist actually. We use ICD-10 codes in Turkey for Health Ministry. I want to learn CPC practices and join the exam online. I want to ask this question: - After passing the exam, how can I go further? - Do I do my new job remotely from Turkey to worldwide? - Do you recommend that job for the future? In any way I want to immigrate to US in the future. Thank you for your response. Sincerely Yasin
This is inspiring.

Hi so with the ACMI course did you do the one with books and memberships included? or just tuition fee? thanks
once u finish the course from imci is it accepted worldwide? im currently here in germany and would want to transfer in canada as a medical coder. what would u recommend?
Hi congrats for getting job in after cpc certification what are the departments available in this job like u got in hcc like that like emergency coding like what other
Hi! May I know where you took your cpc exam? Did you do the online set up?
is it self paced? i cant find which is the medical coding one in the website.
I was able to enroll and just started last saturday. But i’m confused. You said you took your jan and ended march? But mine said it will take 8 months because each part is 8weeks.😅 how come you finished soon?
Hey I just came across your channel and this is the first video I’ve watched. Are you considering doing Medical Billing too? Or you just sticking with Medical Coding? Thanks!

Hello Precious! I have enrolled to the I2MC course but I am sure I will continue with the complete course for CPC. My question is about the manuals. They recommend the Optum manuals for the course but the CPC Exam only accepts the AMA CPT professional manual. Did you ended buying the AMA CPT manual for the test?

Hi! I think this depends on your budget. If you have enough definitely buy the brand new ones as you have the opportunity to write your own notes on it. If you're tight on your budget go ahead and buy the used ones and work your way on it. I hope this helps.

I am terrible at math does coding involve math? If so how much? I am a mother of 3 been away from school over a decade. To study through amci do I take any math and reading placement test like college? Pls let me know it would be really helpful for me and other similar situation people.

It’s so difficult to find a job as a new coder.. I’ve been trying since 2021, it would be worth it if I could just find a job.

Hi currently looking into AMCI because of your videos. But curious which course you did. Did you do the MCDC independent course without the inclusive package ? And bought everything separately, books membership etc?
There’s a tech school that I know of which offers a 9 month course + CPC exam fee for free.
