You have resuscitated my decision to continue my goal of becoming a CCA with AHIMA. I'm doing it scared and prepared thanks to your invaluable advice. The CCA is worth the extra effort; the annual membership dues with AAPC along with the requirement of twelve extra CEU's is a major deciding factors in studying AHIMA. Thank you.

[@kelliontamason2009]

I know this video was primarily about the CCA vs. CPC-A but thank you for the info about the CPMA. I'm currently an auditor and considered getting the CPMA but I'm sticking to getting the CCS-P. Thank you for all your hard work with these videos! 💙

[@ernestoromero3816]

Hello, I want to become an auditor, but first I am studying to pass my CCA, what advice would you give me to head towards the medical auditor position?
I know I have to first get my CCA and get experience and in the future get the CCS. Is that correct?

[@lunawolf3804]

Thank you, Bleu. I have watched a TON of your videoes. Great advice! Fantastic support and encouragement. I did my research, and I know which organization I'm sitting for. The CCA from AHIMA. For me, I feel it is the best way to go. I see many more opportunities to learn and grow. This is my decision for me. No one else has to follow me. I appreciate everything you have shared. I admit... I have binge watched your channel once... maybe twice... regarding several topics. Thanks for being supportive and encouraging! YOU ROCK! 💙💙💙💙

[@KaylisseRuiz]

And here I am thinking a CCA is lower value because everyone I work with has a CPC. I live in MA so it seems CPC is everything and some. Thank you. I feel so much better

[@CamDU-sf4lo]

Hi Bleu, thanks for this, you opened my eyes and stop me doing somethings meaningless. I got CPC while doing the billing job, and was about to get CRC😂 for nothing.

[@NicoletteAdell]

This video shed SO much light on several things for me! Thanks Bleu! I've been binge watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@vidjealatchoumyandrews5987]

Thank you Bleu, you are fantastic! I have decided finally to sit for CCA with AHIMA. So I do not have to purchase their membership while I’m buying their physical book and the Ecourse?

[@jadijones317]

Hi bleu! I am having a harddd time with chapter 15 pregnancy, birth and the puerperium! It would be so helpful if you could do an updated video on explaining this chapter more in depth for a self learner like myself. I am struggling! 😫😫

[@MedicalCodingwithBleu]

When I do videos like that here on TH-cam it's not well received so I only do stuff like that for my Patreons.
You can also consider getting a mentor or tutor to help you.

[@Conknitlady]

Thank you for this video! Has there ever been talk about making some of the CCA fill in the blank?

[@akhilrajak4687]

I have experienced of almost 4+ years as an medical coder BUT for the past 8 months, I have been shifted to Administrative Job (SAME COMPANY) .... NOW I want to remove the Apprentice status from CPC certificate, What should It be written in my current job description?? please suggest .. passed cpc last week

[@stellakenny7877]

Hi Bleu,
Do you teach CCA prep course review?

[@MedicalCodingwithBleu]

No, I don't.
