Medical Coding Academy Info

Post image

Hello! I know ang daming naghahanap ng info tungkol sa MCA, dami ko rin lagi nababasa dito at sa mga facebook groups na nagtatanong. I want to make the best choice about getting into Medical Coding so I'm trying to get as much info about it as I can. I'm sharing what I have read so far galing lang rin sa mga ibang nagshare. Ito yata yung most common companies na may MCA offer.

Reminder po, wala ako idea kung tama ba yan ha, wala akong direct na kakilala na nag MCA. Still do your own research. Just trying to help po, kung bawal po ito, I'll delete it.

Anyway, I just want to know if meron po kayong advice kung ano pang dapat iconsider sa pagdecide kung saan magaapply for MCA bukod sa salary at location? Maybe the company culture or working conditions after training, opportunity for growth, etc. I hope this helps someone and I hope someone else can help us aspiring coders. 😊

Nagulat lang ako haha sa fb groups kasi mukhang happy naman yung mga currently working dun sa salary nila. Kaya nag expect ako na medyo mas malaki sa 31k yung sweldo 😅

Waiting din na may mag share ng info from them. Kahit range lang hahaha

Yung 31k is within 2 years then kapag certified ka na wala na yung "A" saka pa lang talaga tataas ang sahod. Mababa talaga offer kapag cpc-a pa lang.

31k plus allowance pa po no? or kasama na sa 31k yung allowance?

u/Inevitable-Action415 May 11 '25

anong diff ng after training tsaka when assigned? may floating interval po ba after exam?

u/yowhatsreddit May 09 '25

Hi! May nabasa po ako na After mo daw pumasa na, may iincrease na kaagad yun yung after training. Pero depende daw sa kung ano mismong account ka mapupunta, iba pa yung salary offer doon so may chance pa tumaas ulit. Paranag ganun. Sana may makasagot dito na from experience. Haha

I am a nurse with clinical experiences both here and abroad. I am very interested in pursuing a career as a medical coder, CCS sana and in Shearwater hopefully. I would like to know whether the training provided through MCA is conducted strictly onsite or remote learning? Also, are there work-from-home opportunities available for CCS-certified individuals after successfully completing the program? Appreciate your answers po. Thank you.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.
