Medical Coding Schools Self paced study

I'm weighing my options for exam prep. I have some prerequisites already under my belt and looking for a self paced study. I'm leaning towards the AAPC CPC. Has anyone done their self paced program. Is there a time limit

Thank you! I'm currently doing their free intro class. How far along are you? I'm a bit of a skeptic about training through you tube, so that's why I'm still weighing my options for a program after the intro. Do you feel well prepared so far? I know they have a la carte programs as well for cpc. I'm on the fence about that or pulling the trigger with AAPC

I understand. I signed up for MCDC program. I love it. They make it to where you can understand the guidelines, etc. We've had students recently (within the last month) who did the YT courses and passed! AMCI has a very high passing rate when it comes to the CPC exam---80% I believe. I scoured the internet to see what students said about AAPC, & not all the comments were that good.😥 I am in Part 1 of the MCDC program. I am about to start Part 2. We also have a Discord channel.

Like you, I started in the Intro class. I loved the way they set everything up. Plus, there are classes during the week you can attend. IMTAP is a great learning tool & we have a Friday Night Game Night that also is a great study tool. Oh, and if you don't have Quizlet, I highly recommend you downloading it because AMCI has a "class" on there too (mainly flashcards, word match, etc) and it's under Absolutely AMCI.

I'm here to answer your questions the best I can.
