“Laureen at CodingCertification.org had such a calming effect on me. Her overall vibe was non-intimidating and she made me feel like I could do it. Whenever I would start to feel nervous, Laureen’s confident, yet laid back approach, encouraged me to keep moving forward. And, I’m so glad I did.”

as patient scheduling and fielding phone calls and then moved into medical records after a year and a half. While working in this department, she developed a real interest in medical coding, but did not feel she had the time or the money to spend on training. “Classroom training was just not practical for me,” she says.
