Medical Billing Specialist

I decided to embark on a new adventure and take a correspondence course in Medical Billing and Coding. I enrolled through Stratford Career Institute--it is all correspondence so I am doing this at home--they send me the materials and I pay about $35 a month.  I really wanted to take the coursework online at Stautzenberger College in Maumee, but I am at my Maximum for Financial Aid--I was informed of this by the Financial Aid Office at Stautzenberger and the Department of Education--my max for financial aid meant I cannot get anymore aid for classes--oh well, I will go this route.

I received my first module of assignments and the textbook on September 9 and finished Module 1 by September 30.  I received Module 2 Assignments and the textbook with CD-ROM last week and have began going through those lessons and then taking the Exams.  My grade right now for the course is 99%, not bad for doing this all on my own--I can contact instructors with questions or concerns and I have and they have been quite helpful.  I would have liked to take the coursework through Stautzenberger, but this is not bad and I am understanding the coursework--I will see where it goes and how things turn out.  I have been looking into Medical Coding for quite some time, I just was not expecting to not be able to go to Stautzenberger and take it all online so it would not have interfered with my full-time job.  This coursework through Stratford does not interfere with my full-time job.  I am not leaving my full-time job--not at all, after the training for Medical Coding, there are work at home jobs that I can work from home for added income that is why I am doing this.
