The College of Health Care Professions Online Reviews of Certificates in Medical Billing & Coding

"My experience online has been horrible from beginning to end I believe they should try to help students after graduation with jobs. I’ve been applying haven’t got one yet, I understand things take time. I paid money out of my pocket and I just feel like the support hasn’t been the same at all. You have to keep calling nobody really knows anything. Not even on the same page. It is frustrating my externship was horrible not only that I haven’t even received my certificate yet so how can I work without that? I’m sure I can’t, I’m just not happy at all. The only good thing is the test wasn’t hard and the school work was mediocre that’s it. Run as fast! They just want your money. I wished I listened, they don’t help you get a job! Once you graduate you can’t get anyone to help you or even know when you will get help on job opportunities. They don’t give a damn about you! That’s really sad. I found out they’re for profit so they’re just in it for the money which is sad but not surprised months later seeing their true colors."

"I am extremely grateful I was able to do my classes online. I am just disappointed because some information was misleading. I started school here to get my certification in coding (CCS) after I graduated and scored a 90 on my exam I never received my certificate in the mail and when I started applying for jobs I never saw NRCCS as an accepted certification. I tried emailing and calling the school to see if I maybe tool the wrong exam or if I read something wrong. My advice if you're trying to get your certification in coding do not go to this school because NRCCS is not what employers are looking for when it comes to certification requirements. RESEARCH FIRST!"

"I came to this school in search of a CPC certification. I already have a bachelor's degree and wanted the cpc cert to pursue my career in health information management. Although the instructor was awesome I did not know until the end of my term that I was not getting a CPC but a CCS certification which was a complete bummer because of the pay difference. However, I did get a chance to learn a lot about coding and how to actually code. I passed the certification with a 92 and now getting ready for externship. Once I start working after a few months I will take the cpc exam and hope I score just as high."

"While attending CHCP I lost 2 People in my life. Not due to Covid. We also all dealt with learning virtually, students and teachers. The month I graduated my 24 year old son was diagnosed with stage 3C colon cancer. Thank god I was done with school I would have never been able to suffer through that. The career service agent that was assigned to me was Tamilyah (I’m sure that’s spelled wrong). She reached out to me and I cried to her a stranger over the phone more than once. I explained to her that I was not ready to go look for work due to my sons diagnosis. She continued to check on me very frequently. As soon as I told her I thought was ready to work with in that week I had several interviews. I have received the best opportunity to work with some very amazing women that are willing to teach and train me and I have to give all that credit to Tamilyah. She was absolutely wonderful!!! Also Ms.Vicki she also would check on my son and ask how things were going. Just really made me feel I was more than just a student. I can’t say thank you enough for all y’all’s hard work ladies."

"I am 48 years old and never went to college. I decided to try medical billing and coding as a way to bring income into the home and still stay at home at some point down the road. I did A LOT of research looking for the right program for me and for one that was a GOOD program. I have friends in the medical field and I showed them the list of courses I would be taking at CHCP to see what they thought and they said they looked very good. Most online schools do not offer the vast courses that CHCP does and are only for a very short period of time (6 months or so) and are not accredited. I chose to check out CHCP NW campus. I was very excited to get started and very anxious as I had not been a student for 30 years and, at first, I was a bit overwhelmed and wondered what I had gotten myself into. Well, I stuck by it and I am so glad I did!!! I have found the school to be AMAZING!!!! I had 2 teachers there and I loved them both. My instructor for my MCB class, Mrs. Shackleford, was by far the most amazing, kind, caring, helpful, and supportive person. She was beyond my expectations. I was not "just another student" to her. I am about to be finished with my externship now and I truly miss going to class. She made the information meaningful and not just something in a book (a really really big book!). We, as students, were able to freely ask questions without feeling stupid and we would help each other openly discuss things and apply the situations to our lives personally and to real life examples so that we could all understand them. Mrs. Shackelford cares about each of her students as people and truly wants them to succeed. She has a 100% pass rate and that is by no accident. She works hard with each student to make sure that we all are where we need to be and are totally prepared for our certification exam. She also encourages us to go as far as we'd like with our education and our career goals. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in medical billing and coding and I actually already have to several people."

"I went for my Medical Biller Coder but what they don't tell you is that their Certification will NOT get a job as a Professional Coder at all you might can be a biller which is still ok but they pay isn't great compared to the pay of a Coder at all no where close. And the coder books you pay for are good to learn the gest of Coding but their useless because when your done with the program the book change every year and your Cert is not for coding. I just wish they would of told me I needed the CPC through the AAPC to be considerate and Professional Coder making the big bucks. So now I'm back in school for my CPC putting myself in more debt but I know for sure it's the real thing. But the teachers a awesome the people are great but the program is one in which did not get me to where I was trying to be. But I did get the learning gest for being a coder but I just couldn't be one with their Cert they offer. You must have a CPC or higher Cert to make great money."
