Ultimate Medical Academy

Program waste of money, almost $30000 for MAA DEGREE. This school is nationally accredited meaning I would not be able to transfer to Regionally accredited. I'm paying all that money for something I can take at local school for $2000-$4000.... I would get an entry level job making between $8-$11 a hour. The school refund check was $1200 and so much loans taken out verses local community college I wouldn't need to take out any loans. Not to mention Career Services doesn't help assist with looking... Read More in same field of work or similar, if they can get you an interview flipping burgers they would. This is all to protect their retention and placement disclosures to be accredited.

This school is a scam I completed my first course all the way until the last day when they suddenly canceled my enrollment "for financial aid" but instead of letting me finish my last test they said that I would have to redo the whole entire course if I wanted to re-enroll so they let me attend for 5 weeks of school and made me pay for a whole entire course when they canceled me I did not ask to be canceled and then tried to get me to retake the whole entire course that I just took absolutely ridiculous... Read More they made me file my taxes over 16 times it was a runner-up no one could answer me no one could tell me what was going on and they just kept transferring me it was the worst experience I have ever had in my life I was getting all A's in my class and I was super excited and then this I will never again try to do school online I will stick to local schools

I graduated with high honors, on the honor roll every quarter. I felt the school was rather easy. I had issues with a few of the instructors. One would not answer any questions I had. I had tried to reach her by business phone, cell phone and email. It took over a week to get her to respond. I then was basically blown off with my needs. I rarely reached out for help but when I needed it I felt no one was there for me. My other issue was I was told my cost for Diploma and Associates program would... Read More be a total of $17000. When I finished my diploma program I owed with interest $17000 and they want another $10000 for the Associates program. I feel like I was lied to and swindled. My spouse who's getting a Bachelors Degree with an actual university is spending a total of $22000! I feel like I was ripped off!! I cannot say I would recommend this program to anyone just based on the cost factor.

My decision to attend UMA was based entirely on my desire to become the most educated and prepared medical biller possible. UMA is dedicated to providing all of the training essential to student success in the medical profession. The instructors at UMA are some of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They truly care about their students success, and continuously go above and beyond to make themselves available to their students for support, both educational... Read More and personal. I am a two - time graduate of UMA, and I will always return to UMA for all of my secondary education needs.

I found it very difficult to get any assistance when I needed it from advisors or teachers. I found several of the teachers to be bias to their own opinions; meaning they would not accept another person's argument that was persuasive. I am now working in a call center as a health agent, that is soon going to be out of yet another job due to open enrollment ending. I needed help with the certification exam and did not receive any until it was too late. I am still paying back students loans for an... Read More 'education' that is useless.

From the moment I started my journey with my admissions advisor to the the very last day i spoke with my Student Advisor, my experience with UMA was wonderful. They are always just a phone call or email away and sometimes even a text. They helped me with all my questions; issues if any with financial aid; the teachers were very helpful and willing to help you grasp the subject you were studying. The mock interviews were a HUGE help especially being your first time in the medical field. They helped... Read More me prepare for interviews and even helped me with getting my current job where i have been for almost 2 years. I wish I could go back to UMA to further my education into a RN, there is time still to do that. I hope that those that choose UMA have a great experience just as I did.

I was working for a large retail company when I married my husband. I had been interested for some time in Medical Coding. Well he convinced me to quit working so I could put 100% of my time on school. I treated it like a job, got up and started at 8 stopped for lunch and finished at 5. I held a 4.0 GPA all the way through my courses. I absolutely loved going to UMA. Everyone from start to finish was there to help no matter what the problem. I was six weeks from finishing my Associates Degree in... Read More Medical Billing and Coding when my career advisor called me and told me he had the perfect job. It was all I requested close to home and part time. I really didn't want to start work yet but he (Moe) convinced me to go to the interview. I went to the interview and was hired that day. The part time only lasted for two weeks. I work full time as a billing coordinator for six offices in a major home health company. I even went to Tampa, FL and walked across the stage to receive my diploma. UMA is an amazing school. You can't go wrong attending whether it is the ground campus or online. I have recommended UMA to several friends and anyone else that asks about my degree.

I couldn't have asked for a better college! From the moment I applied to my very last day I was always in touch with my student adviser or my professors. I am a wife and a mother of two kids and after being a stay at home until both my kids were in school full time; I decided to go back to school. I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to do but I did know it was going to be in the medical field. After research and a personal reference for Ultimate Medical Academy; I made the decision that changed... Read More my life. Two years later I had my Associates degree in Medical Billing and Coding. You want to take charge of your future; you want opportunities even after you graduate. I highly recommend Ultimate Medical Academy. They're still to this day helping me find a job after I recently relocated. I promise it's one decision that you'll be happy you made.
