[nabop] Medical Transcription questions

Fri Feb 15 12:29:03 CST 2008

the coding books are in PDF format plus there are websites you can use to look them up.  I would looking into a physical school and not online courses for it, to understand it, and do not go to boces for Medical Manager only you need the whole nine yards, I would recommend you go to AHIMA.org which is the American Helath Information Management Association andlook up the school in your state that offers it,  I do not recommend any Branford Hall Career Institutes in any state, this is a bad school wouldn't work with me, had to fight every tooth and nail, and so did my Vocational Counselor, it is a duable course and there are books accessible, but in Medical Billing Software, the student edition of the software is only DOS accessible, when you are checking out schools make sure the at he software the medical software program is windows based.

Those are my recommendations.
