MISSION STATEMENT

The proper education of medical coding presented in an objective environment and dedicated to the preservation and continuation of the correct use of medical coding in all its applications, while adhering to the principles of medical ethics.

WHO WE ARE

Frank Vidal medical Coding is the ONLY educational entity authorized by the International Academy of Medical Coding to prepare medical coding students to take the Certified Medical Coder (CMC) examination given by the Academy.

Frank Vidal medical Coding has prepared an 8 module interactive DVD course designed to give the student the most complete and comprehensive medical coding education available today, on a one-to-one basis. The entire course is designed, taught and hosted by Frank Vidal MMC, the ONLY Master Medical Coder certified by the IAMC in the United States.  Frank Vidal uniquely effective teaching methods provide a productive and nurturing educational environment where students can not only learn, but they can also become a part of something greater:  The international community of medical coders.

Medical Coding education has, by and large, been underestimated as a profession for many years.  Most of the educational resources available today are geared towards a specific vertical application (quick course), or as part of an overall program that includes other educational components that are not directly related to medical coding.  In other cases, the Certification process has become more important that the education itself, thus devaluating both the content of the education and setting back the profession of medical coding.

Frank Vidal medical Coding promotes the education of Medical Coding as the legitimate profession and career that it is.  With comprehensive and complete modules that explore all aspects of medical coding infrastructure, composition and application, it is truly the Ultimate Medical Coding Learning Experience.

Through the Certified Medical Coder course, you will not only learn HOW medical coding works, but also WHY it works.  It is not enough to just know how to look up a code, one must know what the code represents, and how it fits into the overall picture of formulating medical coding equations.  The CMC course is the most complete medical coding education available anywhere.  CMC not only enjoy the prestige of certification, but they also have the security of KNOWLEDGE, which is something that a simple piece of paper can not give you. Our objective is not just to put the program out there to be learned, but to develop individual relationships with each and every CMC, through membership in the International Academy of Medical Coding to further their education beyond the point of certification. This includes keeping each coders knowledge CURRENT, having every CMC up to date with coding changes, giving them a resource to answer questions and a support group to help further their careers as medical coders.

Medical Coding is not just the simple look it up in the book task that it has been made out to be, it is a bona fide and legitimate profession, deserving its own educational infrastructure and support structure.  Frank Vidal medical Coding and the International Academy of Medical Coding provide those structures to allow for COMPLETE medical coding education.
