Has anyone purchased this program and do you recommend it? I am graduating from a Health Records Coding Program next Friday. I interviewed for a position this week and I was given an offer for employment. There was an oversight on HR's part, in the job description it says they require CPC. I am a CPC-A (I passed my CPC exam in early April). I was called yesterday and told that they were very sorry, but they couldn't offer me the position I had accepted, but they could offer me another position that is more entry level with a lower pay grade. I accepted because I want to work and I want to get experience. However, they said that as soon as I am able to get the A removed from my certification that they would move me up into the higher paid position. Since I have completed the 80 contact hours with school, 1 year will be taken off of the apprenticeship. I also have 4 months additional experience with an externship. So I would have 8 more months of experience to gain before the A can be removed. I was thinking I could purchase the Practicode and have it completed within about 3 months. I am willing to dedicate weekends and evenings to completing it, as well as work on it while I am on vacation in June. I have read some reviews and some people seem to think it has helped them a ton but others are saying it is full of errors and they are getting bad scores because of it and they do not recommend it. Since it is almost $300 I do not want to waste my money if it is not going to be beneficial to me since I only have 8 months left to gain, but if it will be helpful and I can get my A removed sooner then I would seriously consider it. Please give any advice you may have.
