Frequently Asked Questions


What exactly is medical billing and coding, and what will I be doing after I graduate?

Think of us as the translators of the healthcare world. Doctors see patients. We turn those visits into codes, and those codes get turned into money. Medical coders and billers are the behind-the-scenes superheroes who keep healthcare running, and getting paid.

After you graduate, you’ll be trained to:

  • Read medical records

  • Assign the correct CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes

  • Bill insurance companies correctly

  • Help practices get paid faster (aka, you’ll become the money magnet)

Whether you work in a hospital, doctor’s office, or from your couch with coffee and a toddler climbing you, just know this skill is in demand.

Do I need any healthcare experience to start?

Nope. Nada. Zip. You don’t need a medical background, a college degree, or even to know what a deductible is. You bring your drive—we’ll bring the step-by-step game plan.

We built this for moms, career changers, and women starting from square one. So yes, you’re in the right place, even if you haven’t taken a test since high school.

The only must-haves?

  • A high school diploma or GED

  • Authorization to work in the U.S.

If that’s you, then welcome. You’re cleared for takeoff.

How long is the program and how much time should I set aside each week?

Our core program takes 12 months, but many finish faster depending on their schedule. We’ve had students binge it like Netflix, and others chip away at it during naptime and late nights.

Plan for:

  • 6–8 hours/week if you want to finish in 9–12 months

  • 10–12 hours/week if you’re ready to fly through it in 6–8 months

It’s flexible, but structured. Because you need a path, not pressure.

Is this course live, self-paced, or something in between?

It’s the best of both worlds:

  • Self-paced content so you can learn on your own time

  • Live coaching calls for feedback, tutoring, and “OMG help me” moments

  • Community access for 24/7 support from fellow students and instructors

You’re never learning alone. You get structure without the 8 a.m. Zoom classes that ruin your morning routine (and your edges).

Will I have access to an instructor if I get stuck?

Absolutely. You’re not enrolling in some ghost town where instructors vanish after your payment clears. Inside Super Coder Academy, you’ll get access to a certified instructor (aka: a real human who actually responds) through:

  • Weekly coaching calls

  • Email support

  • Community Q&As

  • Optional one-on-one tutoring sessions

This isn’t one of those “Good luck out there!” programs. We’re with you the whole way.

Do I get real feedback or is this just a bunch of prerecorded videos?

Oh, we’ve heard the horror stories. Pre-recorded videos, no feedback, no idea if you're on the right track. Nope, not here.

You’ll get:

  • Live walkthroughs

  • Feedback on your coding assignments

  • Real-world coding scenarios with answers broken down

  • Access to expert reviews so you know what’s right and why

Think of it like learning to drive. Videos are helpful, but you need someone in the passenger seat too. That’s what we’re here for.

What happens if I fall behind or get overwhelmed?

You’re human. You’re a mom. You’re juggling 47 tabs in your brain. We expect life to happen.

That’s why we built in:

Flexible pacing

  • Progress checkpoints to gently re-engage you

  • Support messages (not guilt trips)

  • Real people to talk to when you feel like quitting

You’ll have lifetime access to the course content and a community that doesn’t judge your timeline.

Does this program include help for the CPC exam?

Absolutely. Passing the CPC exam isn’t optional here—it’s the mission.

You’ll get:

A full CPC prep toolkit

  • Timed practice exams

  • Breakdown videos of the trickiest sections

  • Weekly exam coaching calls

  • And a final exam strategy so you don’t freeze up on test day

We’ve helped a lot of overwhelmed moms pass this exam, and we’ll help you too. (Even if you haven’t taken a test since dial-up.)

Will I be able to work from home after I finish?

Working from home as a medical coder or biller is a very real possibility, and it’s why so many of our students enroll. But let’s be honest: we can’t guarantee any job, remote or otherwise.

Here’s what we can say:

  • Remote coding jobs exist, and they’re growing.

  • Many of our students are working from home part-time or full-time.

  • You’ll be trained to apply for in‑office or remote roles with confidence.

  • Employers are actively seeking certified, well-prepared coders, like you.

Bottom line: we’ll help you build the skills and tools to land the role you want, but how and where you work depends on your goals, effort, and job market timing.

Do you help with job placement or finding internships?

We don’t have a career services department, but we packed your toolkit to smash interviews and shine:

  • Resume refreshers that spotlight your new skills (and hide the career-change gaps).

  • Mock interviews so you can fight off nerves and sound like the pro you are.

  • Exclusive job board access with listings from employers who respect Super Coder grads.

  • Inside coaching on how to pitch your CPC or CPC‑A confidently to remote and local employers.

We’re not underwriting your job, but arming you to target it, and hit it. .

How much money can I realistically make as a coder or biller?

Let’s keep it real: income depends on niche, geography, and experience. Here’s a quick snapshot:

  • Entry-level freelance or part-time WFH gigs: $18–$22/hr

  • Full-time remote or local hospital roles: $25–$35/hr

  • Experienced or specialized coders (e.g., cardiovascular, radiology): $40+/hr

In just 6–12 months, you're looking at a career that pays you what you're worth, and grows from there.

Is this good for moms with unpredictable schedules and no flexibility?

Yes, and that’s kind of our whole vibe.

  • Learn modules self-paced.

  • Watch coaching call recordings whenever elbow room opens up.

  • Take assignments on lunch breaks or after the kids go down.

This isn’t a rigid 9-to-lack-of-childcare class. It’s designed to flex around your life, so you can show up when you’re ready.

Is AI going to replace medical coders soon? Be honest.

AI is like that overachieving intern: it’s learning fast and can do some of the heavy lifting. But:

  • It still screws up modifiers, specialty nuances, and edge cases.

  • Regulatory changes and CPT updates come at warp speed, and AI isn’t always current.

  • Employers still rely on human coders for quality control.

Think of AI as a sidekick, not the hero. You’re the one making the judgment calls, and that's staying f‑king important.

What is AAPC Practicode, and why does Super Coder Academy include it?

Practicode is your virtual coding training ground, run by the pros at AAPC. It gives you access to hundreds of real-world, redacted medical records, coding challenges, and instant feedback—so you can learn by doing in a safe space.

The real bonus? Complete Practicode with a passing score (usually 70%+), and you can waive the “A” (for Apprentice) in your CPC-A certification, meaning more credibility and faster path to the full CPC designation.

It’s not a job, but it’s a real-world simulation that shows employers you’ve gone beyond the basics.

How much does the program cost, and what’s included?

Our tuition is clear, simple, and designed for women who are tired of fine-print surprises. You’ll never get nickel-and-dimed here.

The full program includes:

  • 12-month access to all core course modules

  • Weekly coaching calls & live Q&A

  • CPC exam prep tools

  • Practicode by AAPC

  • Real-world coding on redacted live charts

  • Hands-on training in actual billing software

  • Full walkthroughs of charge posting, payment posting, claim submission, and insurance follow-up

  • Access to our exclusive job board

  • Resume & interview prep

  • Lifetime access to recorded content

Most big-name schools only teach coding theory and leave students totally unprepared for the job. We don’t roll like that.

You’ll graduate knowing exactly how to do the work, because you’ve already done it. Inside the program. With expert guidance. In real software.

Total investment: [$X,XXX]

No fluff. No filler. Just job-ready skills from day one.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! You’ve got flexible options designed to meet you where you are.

Choose from either:

  • Pay in full and save (our lowest rate)

  • Or low-interest financing through SweetPay (based on credit approval, but they work with all credit scores)

We’ve partnered with SweetPay because they understand our students are hardworking women rebuilding their future, not looking for a mountain of debt.

Is there financial aid or a scholarship option?

We don’t offer federal financial aid or scholarships at this time.

But with flexible payment plans and SweetPay financing, we’ve helped women from all income levels make this work. If you're serious about building a new career, we’ll help you find a doable path.

What’s the refund policy?

We don’t offer refunds, and here’s why:

We’re not here to take your money and disappear. We’re here to give you every tool, every resource, and every ounce of support we’ve got, right from day one. That includes access to all content, community, and resources the moment you enroll.

Once you’re in, we’re committed to you, and we ask that you be committed to yourself.

How do I enroll and what happens after I sign up?

Easy. Enroll directly through our website. It takes less than 5 minutes, and just 6 steps to get started after you sign up:

  1. Get instant access to your student portal

  2. Be welcomed into our private student community

  3. Get a step-by-step guide to start strong

  4. Book your optional orientation call

  5. Dive into your first module and start building your new career

  6. We don’t wait for semesters. We build momentum immediately.

I’ve been burned before. how do I know this isn’t another scam?

Girl, we get it. Too many schools are great at sales and terrible at showing up after you enroll. You pay thousands, get a few outdated videos, and suddenly you’re coding with Google and praying for a miracle.

That’s not us.

Here’s how we’re different:

  • You’ll get real human support with weekly coaching calls, live Q&A, and actual instructor access.

  • You’ll code real redacted medical charts, not textbook fairy tales.

  • You’ll train in real billing software, learn charge posting, payment posting, and how to send claims and follow up like a pro.

  • And when you finish? You’ll actually feel ready.

We didn’t build this for profits. We built it for people like you, because we are people like you.

What if I fail? Be real with me...

First off: You’re not failing, you’re starting. Big difference.

But let’s be real:

  • You might feel overwhelmed.

  • You might cry after Module 3.

  • You might doubt yourself more than once.

And that’s normal. That’s why we built this school with support, structure, and people who give a damn. You won’t be doing this alone. We’re with you—when you’re hyped, when you’re tired, and especially when you feel like quitting.

Because the women who succeed here aren’t perfect, they’re persistent. And if that’s you? You’re gonna make it.
