Sis can go to Penn foster and do their professional coder program for $2,500. And then go take her CPC exam! It takes a year off her apprenticeship.

Very good information, thank you.

OMG, I love your energy, I'm starting from ground zero. I have established a 5 year plan which includes my new MBC career as my mentor (you ). I try to share you with people that I know are struggling so I understand your frustration with people that just won't listen, or, they want everything handed to them. Just because that blessing isn't dressed the way you think is should be, shouldn't mean you dismiss it. I soooo appreciate you and I'm really looking forward to this New Journey..Thank you

Omg I had an interview for a coder today and they decided to test me by asking me questions and I had to step by step explain what what I was doing and I’m sure I totally bombed it!! Smh😅

Thank You for Every Video, Pep Talk and ALL your Advise....You are Wonderful

Thank you

I'm in the anatomy and medical terminology portion of my classes. I'm ahead of schedule, but my teacher told me to start going over the guidelines (rules of the road). So here I am starting to watch these videos. Thank you for taking the time to make these. . .in doing so you continue to grow in your knowledge as well!

It is very frustrating when people ask you ridiculous questions. They obviously aren't doing any research on their own, which does not bode well for a career in medical coding. Especially when they can't even type correctly. To me, it seems like they do not care enough to appear professional. Thank you for making all of these videos! They are very helpful Bleu❤

Bleu Thanks for making videos! I love your content & I appreciate your brutal honesty about the industry. I am taking my CPC exam for the 3rd time in a few weeks & your videos give me great insight. I appreciate you! ❤

Great video! Thank you for sharing the auditor's role in coding. 💙🩵

Thanks again for all your help! ❤

Hello!

I so appreciate your honesty, I can't wait to get started, classes begin in two weeks and I'm so excited. One day at a time

Thank you as of now I am in the Medical Terminology study. This is my impression of this medical language ; it is as a never ending story. For me this story is very interesting. I was out of high school when the internet was added to the school learning resource. I relate to the old school study and learning method. Thank you for the tips. 💙💙💙

Would 5 years of doing patient care as MA be considered reasonable experience for a medical coder job opening? Considering im an entry level medical coder.

Thank you ! Thank you from this present day August 1st , 2024 I am wondering if those former exam study guides with answers are relevant in this present day of 2024 ? Do I need to get updated versions to benefit my self studies? I hope I am asking the question in the correct way. Thank you Ms Blue . 💙💙

Hi Bleu! Thank you for your videos they have been a great help! My question is.. is it possible to do two courses a month? I am Pregnant and baby is due for arrival in February so I would like to complete two before January that way I can take a month or two off while I recover.

🤦🏾‍♀️ 😂 I always appreciate these videos!

You are right. I had to drop a medical coding course because the instructors were extremely disorganized, bad grammar and couldn't read the medical terminology correctly or not even try to say it so it was difficult to follow. The instructor repeatedly said "pacific" and "pacifically" when she meant specific. And these were instructors who've had 20+ years in the field. I personally need people to be more professional. Sometimes I feel like our future is cooked because people are lazy about learning.

I have an Associate degree in medical billing and coding. I graduated with honor in 2006. Well, I never work in the field due to illness. Thank God my student loan was forgiven. Now I want to use my degree. Can someone guide me on how to work part-time at home with a flexible schedule. I'm tight on budget. This inflation is killing me.

Thank you for the motivation and inspiration to us we have skilled willing to start our career as mc ....skilled speaks louder than a a just a bachelors holder

You’re no nonsense. I have slowly began obtaining materials to self study. I would like to start coding after I retire. Starting a 2nd career is nerve racking, but I think it’ll be worth it.

Great video, Bleu! 💙🩵

Boom 💥

😂😂😂❤🙏🏾

I'm so glad you said that about the temp agency. It's been about 15 years that I've been in a hospital/clinical setting. I'm looking to temp agencies and volunteer part time through the Red Cross to add to my resume and network up.

Thank you for tonight’s podcast. I am greatly encouraged. Thank you for all the tips and directives. 💙💙

Have you done a video about those who completed the degree but don’t have past jobs that would help? I’ve driven a bus for last 12 years and I feel like my resume looks ridiculous 😂 love your videos❤

Thank you so much for your video and roadmap to medical coding. It really means alot!! Im a nurse of 12 years and looking so hard for something to do instead of direct patient care. ❤

Thanks!

Thank you for all your videos..They are so helpful. ❤

Bleu, I have a question. Ive been a nurse for almost 40 yrs now..have done more quality/chart audits/Hedis and director positions. I have a bachelors as well. We used to do icd9 as a nurse too..Wondering your thoughts for the CPMA.

Thank you for your helpful advice and tips. I just wondering as a new coder does anyone will double check my work to be sure that I don’t make mistakes!

Hi- is it necessary/important to obtain CCA before working toward CCS? Trying to understand if there is a progression to obtaining the CCS credential.

Another awesome video! Thank u for making things simple, direct, and to the point 🤓👍

failed 2xs and took aapc class that was to fast passed. I feel like such a failure and wasted money. I am a biller for a hospital and I have wanted to be a coder for along time.

I am going to keep applying, it hasn’t been easy a lot of places asking for experienced coders. For a position I passed the assessment yet because I didn’t have experience they didn’t hire me. I’m still hopeful , God didn’t bring me this far for nothing. I have the RHIT and ccs-p. I am a patient coordinator now so I’m in health care so I’m hopeful. ❤thanks for your great advice as always

Thank you 💙💙💙

Thank you for this! I’m just starting out and I’m sure I will come back to this video a few times. Where do you get the workbooks?

Which should I get, the CPC or CCS? I have been researching this so much, yet still can't make my decision. Can I get the CCS take training then pass a test in less than a year, or do I need prior coding experience for this. I would like to have the ability to do both inpatient and outpatient

I love your crisp, clean, straight forward explanation! Thank you 🙏🏾

Preach ma'am

Bleu, thank you SO much for your videos! Your channel has been so helpful as a person looking to switch careers. I appreciate you!

I just turned 63.... I'm going for it!!🎉😊

Do you still have the syllabus available? I know this is an older video.

Can I go for my CCS without having my CCA certification? I have my diploma but haven't taken the test. Thank you in advance

Very helpful content. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I appreciate all your knowledge!

Bleu, you are amazing, a powerhouse! I'm enjoying your videos. At age 63 I will probably be seeking your resume and interviewing help. I'm planning to get training for medical coding and billing. Thank you for all you've done.❤

What is it like working in a team? Do you work with a team of coders on site/or remote? Is it individual based -team based?
