    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!

    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
