After taking this course you will NOT be able qualify to take the AAPC certification for coding. You need to code under a certified coder in an office setting for 2 years and have a letter of reference that is verified to even take the exam.

You will NOT be able to do medical billing from home, in your spare time, and enjoy a six figure income.

You WILL have basic knowledge of the medical billing occupation. You SHOULD be able to get an interview in a doctors office/hospital and start to learn the real side of billing.

Most likely you will be hired in the financial department doing basic data entry. Other more experienced people will do the actual billing and coding. You can stick it out and move up based on you skill.

Too many doctors and hospitals have been *ahem* screwed , by these at home courses. They have hired people that can’t do the work unless they have the OPEN BOOK in front of them to get an A. They can copy the form and fill out a UB92 but have no idea what goes where when given actual codes and records. Appeals are another area. You word an appeal wrong and lose all future rights for review and LOSE on that claim! One digit off and you end up billing John Doe for a hysterectomy instead of a tonsillectomy.

Take the course if you want to feel like you are learning something and have money to spare, just don’t expect to be a ‘biller’ when you get your open book A.

**No offense to you, I just hate that they are still promoting these classes and pretending that billing is a ‘hobby’.**

I took court reporting and medical transcription and closed caption at AIB in Des Moines Iowa. It is a two year course, and I would venture to say that it doesn’t require a 140 IQ ;or anything like that. I’m not that smart, and I did it! And honestly I did more partying than I ever did studying! I went on after that to become a nurse, but I am sure even if I hadn’t I could have made a decent living as a medical transcriber or a closed captionist. (or even a court reporter) ‘boring’ but you can do it Good Luck

Hi there..

Let me tell you that im doing the course of Medical Billing in USCI… and let me tell you that the lessons are awsome… They are easy and when you have any question or problem you just call and they will help you… If they don’t answer the phone just leave a message and at maximum a hour latter they are calling you back to attend you… =)

I haven’t graduated yet, but until now I’m very satisfied about the course. You should try it. its great…

Any way if you don’t like it at the first course, well just tell them you don’t want it any more and they refund you the money… ( before asking for refound you shouldn’t summit any quiz)

The quizes are open book, and they are multiple choice, maching and very rare compliting statements .. super easy… =D

And if you dont want to mail them, just log in the website with your student ID and up load the answers of you quizes there, and you’ll be able to see you results intantly, you GPA …

Now what do you think?

Any questions just answer me back..

Good luck in the course

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM I took the billing course with my wife and mother. The course is easy, however you will not get a job working from home after taking this course. Their success promise is designed to make you quit. There is no work at home option in their success promise. There is only the option to work in an office and to start your own company. You will not be ready to start your own business doing medical billing after completing this course. They have ignored all of my request for a refund. It is most definitely a scam. The graduate counselor even admitted that in 15 years, she had never seen anyone get a job working from home doing medical billing straight out of school. They take your money, give you a poor excuse for an education and kick you to the curb. Don’t waste your money. They seem to have an aggressive online presence trying to preserve their reputation. People just need to know this is a scam.
SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM. They got over $900 from each of us, all we got was scammed.

Do not give that place any of your money you will not be qualified for a job in your field after your course is completed take your course locally I know it is not as convenient but it will be worth it you will lose your money if you go through USCI. I lost over $1000. Go to Colorado BBB and read the complaints that have been filed don’t just look at the score like I did

Even with all the negativity people are giving about UTI. I’m enjoying the medical/billing. If I dont get a job in the field it feels good to know that I know more than I did before I took the course.
