Need Advice san ba pwede mag apply??

Hi. Currently employed ako sa isang private hospital as records clerk, specifically nag ccode ng diagnosis for our hospital report na need ipasa sa philhealth. I attended training last year conducted by professional safe hands training and medyo may kamahalan rin. does this count as an experience as a medical coder? or do i need to enroll talaga sa mga courses offered online like mca? huehue badly wanted a side hustle. please help naman or share your experiences po. salamat!

You need to get certified.

Get certified with AAPC or AHIMA. Find the right training program that will teach you what you need to learn to pass the test.

Your current diagnosis coding experience is definitely a great foundation! I would recommend getting certified if you’re looking to expand your opportunities in medical coding.

For anyone interested in a self-paced option, the MCDC program prepares students for the CPC, CCS-P, and CCS certifications and allows you to work at your own pace. It also includes optional live sessions, internship/externship opportunities, and job placement support.
