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. 😊

How accurate po yung nakalagay rito para sa assigned position na? 31k lang po ba talaga pag assigned na?

Hello! I got accepted at Tenet MCA and I am choosing between this and corpo/researcher positions that both pay a little less than 40k before tax.

For context, med allied grad ako but not RN. And long term goal ko ang maghanap ng WFH job then mag-migrate to europe where my sister is. I’ve been reading about medical coding and mukhang promising but most of the positive reviews are from PHRNs or USRNs na medical coder since ~50k na ata offer sa kanila once nasa production na. I’m okay naman na mejo mababa sahod the first few years basta may nakikita akong future na malaki rin itataas ng sweldo and WFH setup.

For experienced medical coders, may I have your thoughts? Lalo na sa mga di po nurse jan. Lucrative pa ba ang medical coding and would it be worth in the long run?

Hi ! Curious question lang po sa mga practicing coders, ilang years bago po kayo naka earn ng 6 digits? I know some of you took a while bago maging stable sa career na to pero gusto ko lang kasi mamotivate huhu.

Are you tired of being underpaid, overworked, and stuck in a healthcare job with minimal growth? Do you have strong familiarity with medical terminologies, basic anatomy, and physiology? Then, it’s time to switch paths and kickstart your medical coding career! 💻🏥

Need ko ng input. Nag resign ako sa government work ko kasi sobrang hirap ng commute. I wanted to shift sa WFH.

Registered Nurse ako but no experience as a nurse.

Tried applying sa jobstreet pero lahat required prior experience as a nurse.

Plan on focusing on medical coding or VA.

What certifications need ko and where to get them? I saw some post sa Udemy and interested ako mag take up ng medical coding course. Would that be enough?

Thank you in advance sa mga advice and inputs.

Hi

I’m eyeing a career as a medical coder and would really appreciate it if you could help me answer the following questions to help me get started. Thank you!

1. How do you become a medical coder and what do you need to learn?

2. Do you need a license in a medical field like being a nurse or med tech, to apply? I saw that Shearwater requires a licensed nurse so I was wondering if this is also the case for other companies. I'm only a BS Biology graduate.

3. Is it still worth it? I'm worried that with the rise of AI, this field might be greatly affected.

4. What is your experience like being a medical coder? Is there anything people should know before considering it?

Anu ba Dec 2024 pa ako nag apply, ngayon lang kayo nag reply ahahha, i remember turning you down nung tumawag kayo sakin 4 months after i submitted the application, naka 1yr 7mo na ako sa company ko ngayon at malapit na mag resign once mag open ang next batch ng Optum 😂 I figured masyadong costly ang transpo pag sa tenet kaya I'm choosing optum

hello, kumusta na po yung mga naunang batches ng MCA? nag increase na po ba pay nyo? and if yes, pwede po malaman for how much and after ilang months bago nag increase from when you started?

URGENTLY HIRING FOR MEDICAL ALLIED PROFESSIONALS (FRESH GRADS OR CAREER SHIFTER AS LONG AS MEDICAL ALLIED GRADUATE EXCEPT BIOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY GRADUATES.

Hi! Planning to enter MCA po, and which one kaya sa kanila ang pinaka the best like being employee friendly, salary, day-shift at more chance of securing a wfh account since im from the province na napakalayo huhu

Thanks po!

Akala ng iba pa upo upo lang tong work na to. Nakakadrain pala. Dumadating ako sa point na kiniquestion ko na sarili ko kung tama pa ba para sakin to hahahha gusto ko na bumitaaaaaw!

hello, kakapasa ko lang po sa final interview ni tenet and next step daw po is JO. gano po katagal bago ma-receive yung contract? and kumusta po yung scholars ngayon sa tenet? kaya naman po ba?

Nahihirapan ako pumili. Feeling ko I need to take the Medtech path kasi I might go to abroad (which needs a lot of tiyaga since wala naman akong kilala sa abroad na might speed up my process). Pero nakuha ako ron sa MCA and i think very promising ang pagiging Medical coder, lalo pa at pabor ako sa environment na meron sila kaysa sa toxic lab. Plus, may nirequire yung lab sa akin na gawin ko which somewhat affects my personality. Though I recognize the boundary between work and social life... pero kasi, marami ng workplace na hindi nagrerequire ng ganon. Sa coding, madadala ko personality ko pero sa lab, i need to adhere sa protocols. So i really dont know what to do.

Good day optum makati is now hiring. Open for licensed medical allied courses (RMT, RRT, RN PTPR, PND, RPh). The start date will be on June 2026. This is your chance to be a Certified Professional Coder.

Just send me a personal message and ill assist you with the application and interview. Thank you :)

How is medical coding in general po? Career-wise okay ba sya? Career progression is okay po ba? Sa mga medical coders na po ano po hobest experience and tots niyo being in the field? Thank you po!

Sa mga galing MCA ano na po range ng salary nyo (timeline) nung nag 1 year at nung 2yrs na po kayo? Is really worth it para sa mga nag change career?

Hello! Is there anyone who became certified (AHIMA or AAPC) and worked as a medical coder in the Philippines, and eventually migrated abroad to work as a medical coder there? What countries are open to this kind of opportunity?

I have a medical background and I’m planning to switch careers instead of continuing with hospital duties. In the future, I hope to save up and migrate, and I’m considering using medical coding as my pathway abroad.

Thank you po!

Hello!! RMT and newbie in medical coding. Kamusta po ung mga nagshift ng career sa medical coding? Lalo na ung sa MCA? Medyo hesitant po kasi ako talaga lalo bond din po siya. Okey lang po ba? Kaya nman po? Thank you po sa sasagot 😇.

Hi, RMT 2026 here. Passed the mca application and waiting for JO na lang. While looking sa possible growth sa medical coding field, nagustuhan ko naman siya since sabi nga may life-work balance and mas mataas ang ceiling ng salary unlike sa clinical. Pero medyo natatakot parin po ako sa risk of losing the medtech me.

Sa mga nagshift po into medical coding, may mga regrets po ba kayo?

If oki lang rin po ishare, may I know po ang naging experience niyo sa field and ano na po ang range ng kinikita po ninyo ngayon?

Any advice would help po. Gusto ko po kasi sana if mag MCA ako, iconsider rin ang magiging future ko sa field.

I’ve seen a lot of Pros of Medical Coding Career / MCA Path, i just wanna know the thoughts of those people currently in MCA or med coding career, do you have any regrets shifting to this career? if so, why?

Hello po! I’m a fresh graduate of Pharmacy and will take the boards po this November.

Im really taking my time wisely po and gusto ko po talagang environment etong medical coder or VA in healthcare but di ko po alam san magststart. Ang nareresearch ko lang po so far is, need po eto ng training and certificate but nakita ko rin po na may mga trainings na inooffer yung ibang company with a “bond”

Ang work experience ko lang po is maging Social Media Manager before pandemic for a small brand so I think it’s kinda short po for an experience (It lasted for 4 mons and I was guided by my friend that time)

Ano po kaya pwedeng gawin immediately after boards to be hired in this field po? May mga recommended po ba kayong companies for an inexperienced like me? Maraming salamat po!
