About Cape Coral Technical College Medical Coder / Biller

The Medical Billing and Coding program was instrumental in preparing me for a new career. Mrs. Porta is very knowledgeable and willing to help any way she can. Thanks to Mrs. Porta and this program I now have a wonderful job in the coding profession.

Thanks to the advanced training, technical skills, education and encouragement I received at Cape Coral Technical College I was able to pursue and advance in my career choice of Medical Coding to achieve several certifications from the AAPC.

I am a 2004 graduate of Mrs. Porta’s coding/billing program. When I started the program, I was a new mom who worked part time. I was looking for a program that would work with my schedule but also place me in an essential career field. I never could have imagined the type of opportunities this program has offered me. With this “work at your own pace” type program, I was able to finish in 9 months, and with the internship and helpful job placement the program offered, I was able to find a job within one month of graduating. This program was intellectually stimulating and offered a well rounded real life experience. Even with the current economic times, I see first hand how this field has been continually demanding. I strongly recommend this program to anyone pursuing a stable, diverse, ever-evolving career.

I attended Cape Coral Technical College’s Medical Coding and Billing program in 2006. As a stay home mom in my 40’s, I was terrified of going back to school. The support that I received from Mrs. Porta and the staff of Cape Coral Technical College made going to school again one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Since completing the program and obtaining my CPC, I have had the opportunity to work as a Coding Manager and more recently as a Coding Educator. I attribute a great deal of my success to Cape Coral Technical College and the teaching abilities of Mrs. Porta.
