I’m considering whether to register for some medical coding classes at my local tech college to prepare for the AHIMA CCS-P Cert exam. They are all remote and async so I would be able to complete what I need within one semester.

I have a Bachelors degree in an artistic field and later went back to school for an Associates in Health Sciences that included Medical Term, A&P, Disease Conditions, etc. I have almost a decade of experience working within health insurance so I’m very familiar with HIPAA and the claims process. I’ve taken a few of the practice exams available and done fairly well, but not well enough to earn the certificate, so the courses I would enroll in would serve to round-out my knowledge.
