Q&A Practicode

[Nisha]

Hello,
I was just wondering is there any difference in buying practicode directly from Aviacode website or from AAPC or is it the same?
Had been on vacation to India and just got back so I missed attending 2 months of the free Thursday webinars.
Thanks and hope to attend next months webinar without fail. It's these webinars that keep me connected to the coding world.
Nisha.

Hi Nisha,

Great question! I don't think Aviacode sells practicode directly anymore since their deal with the AAPC. They sell to colleges to include their package in with courses. CCO is allowed to include it in their courses as well. We include it in our Medical Coding Practicum (MCP) course.

Here is a blog post with video of Alicia explaining the difference in our version vs. the AAPC version https://www.cco.us/practicode-aapc-vs-coding-certification-org-practicode-reviews-video/

Thank you Laureen. Does the medical coding practicum course have any additional courses to be learnt in it or is it just the Practicode alone? In Alicia's video the price mentioned for practicode is $299. But the MCP course price mentioned is $327. Are these two different?

It's the practicode itself with the support classes. The price increased to $327 - $299 was the introductory rate when it first came out.
