This school is a huge ripoff and I do not recommend it to anyone!!! They lie, manipulate and are highly unethical! They didn't bother telling me they weren't accredited through the AAMA to which my state requires all medical personnel to be. They pretended they didn't know but they did. The laws were changed/passed in my state before I even began my classes online. They lied and I found out because I was offered an interview with a very highly recognized hospital and when I went to sign up for the... Read More

Well first off the school staff never gets back with you unless they want something and the other part was the "oh we can place you in a job or at least get you information on jobs, we have several companies waiting for your graduation date" lies the school has done nothing for me, what leads they have gave me are bogus.. I wouldnt recommend this place to nobody unless they want to pay a lot for nothing.

This school sounded good to start with but is now my nightmare. I can not get anyone to call me back. I can't find a job in my field and this school will not help me for what ever reasons.
I am in the middle of getting a lawyer for my financial issues with them seeing they have my private third party payer as a "Scholarship".
Nothing but issues being an online student. The campus life with this school may be better but I wouldn't ever do online with them again.

I would not recommend this school for a few reasons, I graduated with an Associates degree that is only a degree at their school. If you tried to transfer any of the credits to a community college or University they would not count for anything. Very expensive school for something that I could have bought any of the books needed for certification as a personal trainer and read them myself. They tell you lots of hands on but it is mostly someone reading out of the book to you.

Do your research. Just because it seems easy, doesn't mean it is worth it. This school is just like the rest. Online school is easy and it won't get you anywhere. Go to a university that challenges you. Then you will get to where you want to. Good luck.

I think this school is a great choice. I was searching and then they called me and we set everything up within a week, I started and now I am two months away from graduating!! I a super excited.
I am not going to lie the classes can be challenging due to learning the material so quickly but if you put the time and effort into it, I wouldn't change it. I have had nothing but a great experience with the instructors and school staff. The student success coordinator calls you about every course to make... Read More
I have been told the tuition is a little high from other people in my area who have attended school in the same career, but am happy with my decision, I was able to attend do my school work online which is great so I didn’t have to take my son to daycare to attend school.
Thanks PCI, I recommend anyone who wants to attend the school to consider this one, have not had any problems and they are very understanding. They send you dean’s list certificates, and excellent awards for each course, I got an excellent award after almost all my courses, and made the dean’s list twice!!! Very exciting. Hope this helps :o)

The Medical Billing & Coding program was a great program overall. However, their tuition is a bit high in comparison to some local schools. However, due to my work schedule, I found taking online courses much easier. The instructors were always very helpful and would work with you when you had problems. The program director was usually there as well. The problems began after graduation...because I lived in a different state (as most of the online students did) their ability to help in career placement... Read More

Everyone here is very nice and they want you to be successful. I am currently enrolled at PCI Online and I am taking the course...Medical Billing and Coding. At first it seemed like it was gong to be hard. I consulted the teacher with my problems and they were resolved very quickly. When it's time for you to get your books for your classes, they send you an email to go to the online bookstore. You don't have to worry about going out to a campus and ordering your books; they are delivered to your... Read More

I am currently taking the medical insurance billing and coding online class at this school and overall I love it. It is challenging but I figure I can get pass anything if I put my mind to it. The instructors respond quickly to any questions you may have,they have an online library, and great books that assist you with your assignments. This is a great school to attend.
