    THANK YOU!!! That's what I thought I read before, but then I wasn't seeing it when I was looking this time.... and I overthinked, and panicked....because that's my jam. LOL

    You can earn CEUs in January 2025 - they'll apply to that new term started 2/1/2025. That is ONLY for CEUs earned during the renewal month - once you've submitted your CEUs for the term ending 1/31/25 and generated the new term starting...

    I am going through Practicode, not because I think it's necessarily equivalent to real-life experience, but because I want to get as much of my "terribleness" out of the way before I get a job. This way, I can wrestle with many of coding...

    Yeah, I didn't finish my Practicode. My boss asked me to bring in the information they were looking for, and she will fill it out, even though I haven't quite hit my 1-year

    I was applying for every local and remote coding job I could find, and I found someone who was willing to take a chance on me, because (1) the ink wasn't dry on my Coding certificate and (2) 35 years of customer service experience would give me...

    My advice (as someone who has been in the field 30+ years and is a hiring manager) is that you should consider looking for other roles in the revenue cycle. It's very difficult to find a coding job without experience. Look at jobs in billing...

    A year and a half ago, when I got my CPC certification, my understanding was that the AAPC coding class was considered the "80 class hours", and I just needed to complete the Practicode, or 1 year working. As I am approaching my 1-year...
