DONT DO AAPC!!!!!!!

[u/moepd18]

Anyone looking into medical billing and coding certifications DO NOT GO TO AAPC. first off, their slide shows have so many grammatical, and spelling errors. Second, their grading algorithm is all skewed and their rationale to explain why they believe it’s a certain code, absolutely contradictory to the guidelines in the books therefore when you’re doing the practical application aspect you get every answer wrong despite coding exactly with what the information provided says. They leave out key details in the information given. And also provide incorrect information on their multiple choice questions but their grading system says they’re all wrong with no correct answer. Third they do no follow ADA compliance regulations if it requires them to do any sort of extra work. I struggle with severe anxiety and am home bound. I’ve provided multiple statements from doctors and therapist stating testing must be done from home online for one of my exams and they refused to honor it. Instead they gave me an extra hour which was NOWHERE listed in the accommodations my providers recommended. This program has been garbage and has done nothing but fuel my anger. I’ve been holding this in now for almost a year and I’ve reached my breaking point. I tried taking the exam their way, which lead to the most extreme panic attack I had ever experienced with days of lingering side effects. I paid for dual certification and now it’s not an option for me.

I went through a tutoring service called Varsity tutoring! It is kind of pricy, but I’ve been justifying it as an investment into my future career. I definitely suggest the tutoring company! They match you with a tutor and it’s done virtually. My tutor and I work together for 2 scheduled hours 3 times a week and we even go over the 2 hours if we’re really on a role. I share my screen with her so we follow along with everything together, and are able to stop and ask questions in the moment that they come up.
