NOT WORTH IT. Become a certified medical
Become a certified medical biller and coder through National Healthcareer Association (NHA), which is NOT recognized or excepted by most firms that pay good money. They want an AHIMA certification even over an AAPC cert. BTI is $20k for an unrecognized diploma which you can get for free through Alison. Don't bother with this school unless you want to feel like you wasted your money and time. Even their Certified Medical Associate is overpriced! The local hospital, Geisinger, will pay to train you to be a Certified Medical Associate, Surgical Technologist, or Phlebotomist. Don't pay for education at any school when the hospital will pay you to learn their system.
Berks was convenient to me bc of a 4 lane highway and I didn't want to drive to Shamokin-ugh, for nursing school. Plus I want to work from home or anywhere for that matter.
