Medical Coding

I had a great experience working with Lolita who is knowledgeable in the 3M Encoder and medical coding. She was able to guide me in the right direction and helped me understand my assignment. She provided me with practice questions and answers that were extremely helpful in reinforcing what I had learned. Additionally, she was quick to respond to my questions and had a thorough understanding of the the subject matter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a medical coding tutor.

just what I needed

Amber, 1 lesson with Lolita

She is Everything!

I had a practice exam sent home to me and it was insanely difficult! It took us 2 hours to get thru 5 of 10 questions. She cleared up her schedule and an hour later we were back at it. She showed me guidelines I would need and stuff to highlight in my books. The biggest thing was that even she agreed it was hard questions and plowed right along thru it with me. She typed up everything we went over and even some other guidelines I might want to remember. Best experience ever and I’ll probably continue to hire her anytime I get stuck.
