Tania Ang Medical Billing and Coding Student "Switching my career to medical billing and coding is one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. It is already opening so many windows of opportunity for me in such a small amount of time. Upon successfully completing Medical Insurance Billing A-Z Plus, I received my certificate of completion, which helped a lot in searching for employment in the medical field. Immediately I was offered a job opportunity working in a physician's office. The instructor went above and beyond making sure we were ready to learn. She always reminded us of important regulations for billing, answered all of our questions during the class, and provided one-on-one office hours, if needed."
