Manila, Philippines – Leading BPO support provider TeleDevelopment Services, Inc. (TDS) has just announced that exam results have just been released for the June 2014 medical coding certification examination. TDS has successfully trained and prepared 12 participants—11 of which are registered nurses—for the certified professional coder (CPC) certification.
These participants, who are part of TDS’ first public training course meant for non-medical professionals, took the American Academy of Professional Coders’ (AAPC) CPC certification exams and achieved a passing rate of 100%. As the largest medical training and credentialing organization in the US, AAPC sets the highest international standard on medical coders. Coders undergo a rigorous examination to test their ability to read medical charts and assign medical codes for various clinical cases. The entire batch of participants passed the exam on their first attempt, even though exam candidates are allowed to retake the test for free.
TDS’ Senior Manager for Healthcare Training Peter Edu, MD, CPC, CPC-I, CCS, led his team of healthcare trainers in the entire duration of the public training course. Stimson “Timmy” F. Agustin, Jr, MS, RN, CPC-A; Adrianne “Kian” Gonzaga, RN, CPC-A; Liza Mae A. Malixi, MD, CPC-A; and Von Deneb Vitto, RN, CPC-A; all worked with Edu throughout the 9-week course to provide a comprehensive training program that will effectively prepare the trainees for a rewarding career in the medical coding field.
Electronic notification of the first half of the exam results was received on Thursday, June 12, 2014, and the other half the following Monday, June 16. The second batch of classes for those with medical backgrounds officially started on Monday as well.
The overwhelming demand for certified professional coders in the Philippines has opened up better career opportunities for both medical and non-medical professionals this year. Such a change in career promises a better salary and a host of other benefits for Filipinos. Depending on the recruitment criteria, successfully certified medical coders who have trained under TDS’ healthcare training team are afforded the chance to immediately secure a high-paying job for a TDS partner.
