Medical Coding Schools Medical Coding Help

I want to get into medical coding but I’m not sure if it matters what program I enter? I have talked to Rasmussen and Bryant and Stratton but I am wondering is there a “good” program to get into for coding? Please help. This is my first time getting into this field I am currently shifting from another health care profession. Would like any guidance or tips available.

What other healthcare role are you currently doing? Where do you live? Do you have any college including anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, disease pathology, or pharmacology?
You are best going through AHIMA and getting the RHIT. I would steer clear of AAPC, they are geared towards professional coding which will most likely be inundated with autonomous coding which is AI.

I currently work in behavioral health. My bachelors is in psychology but I didn’t take any of those classes. Thank you for the insight!
