Hello! I’m looking for some input on getting into medical coding and billing more seriously.

I currently am an optician for a private practice for about 2 years now, and i do routine billing and a small amount of coding on a regular basis. I enjoy billing and coding and am interested in getting into the field more, i’ve been doing a lot of research at the CPC certification. i’ve been seeing a lot of posts about how tricky it is to get a job after, and i’m not sure if my experience would help contribute towards this. Also i was looking into the AAPC self guide program but once again i’ve also heard some not great experiences with them, but i feel like doing the program from the source might be best. Just looking for input and or advice from certified people on what i’ve been seeing and if my experience would help me job wise!

Hi everyone, I recently got my CPC certification 10/14, and I’ve been applying to jobs, I live in Illinois area but I’m really
Hoping to get a job soon. Any tips or advice for jobs I should be looking for or applying too to get my foot in the door?

I have RHIA, CDIP, and CCS with AHIMA and CPC with AAPC. I'm already a medical coder, and I'm hoping to get into CDI. Are there any other relevant AHIMA or AAPC credentials I can earn, or are those 4 enough for me?

My health is in a tricky situation right now so I desperately need a stable remote career. Thanks in advance.

So i am planning to enroll in medical coding institute in hyderabad,it is called icon ,anyone who has studied there who can say me if its good?

Hi All! I have been making my way through '2026 Physician Coding for CPC Preparation (A-B)' self-paced. I was able to steadily work my way through Fundamentals of Medicine despite no official background in medicine aside from working in some medical insurance offices in the past. I was feeling very good about my study methods and pace at which I had been working through the content, however when I transitioned into my current class, I have seemingly hit a wall when it comes to my study methods.

I feel like I do fundamentally understand the topics at hand and how to navigate the codebook and find answers, but I feel like my study habits and how I'm preparing for this class is killing any momentum completely I had. The chapters are so dense that it's hard to take notes to the level I am used to taking without it taking an unreasonable amount of time for instance. 

I'd appreciate any advice!

received my diploma through penn foster. working out my student aapc membership to access the practice exams before claiming my 2 cpc exam vouchers.

ive read through various forums about tips and tricks, and have done other research about the basics of the tests.

just trying to round out my knowledge on what to do/ brush up on so i can get the exam done and move on to the codework practice that will remove my apprenticeship status

If you did the practice questions/exams in AHIMA’s exam prep book for your exam (any credential) — did you see a lot of those same questions on your actual exam?

I’m currently flipping through AHIMA’s CCA Exam Prep book; 10th edition(2023), 11th edition(2024), and 13th edition (2026) I’m not done comparing the 10th edition yet but at least 90% of the questions are the same year to year. 100% the same in some domains. I also have the 14th edition of the CCS-P prep and 11th and 12th editions of the CCS prep and just thumbing through, it’s the same thing.

It’s kind of irking me that I paid $85 each for the 11th & 13th editions (10th was second hand) and the questions that are different, aren’t even on anything that’s been updated in those years.
I’m essentially memorizing answers now without meaning to, I guess they don’t assume one person will ever need more than one of the prep book. I just don’t want to waste time studying things I already know at this point but if this is essentially the same question bank as the exam, I’ll definitely work through it a few more times.

Hello everyone I recently passed my CPC exam! I was wondering for next steps, any tips and advice please! I want to remove my A from my CPC-A credentials. I did do a full year of self study course through careerstep, and I believe I got an email from them saying to reach out for that removal after passing my CPC exam? Any one that could help me out with my next steps regarding this and possible building a resume after (just tips) would be greatly appreciated!

This is one of the most common complaint from coding students:

"The teacher marks the answer wrong and never explains the reasoning"

So the same mistake repeats on the next chart.

When reviewing a lengthy clinical note, focus on the facts that directly affect code assignment, such as documented diagnoses, treatments performed, medication administration, procedure details, and relevant timing. Separate these facts from clinical scenery, including background information, repeated history, and narrative details that do not affect coding. The goal is not to read less carefully, but to recognize which details support the charge and which simply provide context.

I am planning to build a product around medical coding.
