"Tina, I must say I have enjoyed you as an instructor - you are very through and fair.  Keep up the good work!" Charlotte C. Snyder   

"I wanted you to know that because of the classes I took with MAB that everyone at my job thinks I'm all smart or something.  I just giggle and tell them the classes are available for them too!"  Susan Kozell

"Shirley you are very intune with your students, you can sense when there is a problem.  I really appreciate you."  Patricia Swanig

"Dear Shirley, Thank you for the 97% and answering me so quickly.  I have learned alot and have enjoyed the course, even though it is a lot to absorb in six weeks!  thank you for your quick answers and that you are always accesible and interested in if we are learning the material, instead of just throwing it at us and forgetting about it.  Thanks again!"  Cindy S.

"If I had to attend a brick & mortar school for this, I probably would not have started yet.  I LOVE online learning!!!  My schedule is so full right now!"  Susan Kozell

"All the information was great, but I really liked how in-depth it was.  Learning so much on Medicare and learning how and why it all came about is really helpful.  The legal section is helpful, especially when you never know if or when you will need it.  Like I said, everything was in great detail and that is what is needed."  Karen Stephens, Medical Office Insurance

"The Medicare information was very useful."  Vera Hall, Medical Office Insurance

"Learning about pain management procedures (epidural injections) along with other surgical procedures (was the most beneficial information for me).  I  recently started billing for pain management and now I have a better understanding of the codes.  This course has given me the guidance that I need in my everyday work.  Shirley was very informative and always quick to respond to any questions that I had."  Jean Shore, Introduction to CPT Coding

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your guidance and support.  You didn't let me get discouraged.  This course was a great tool for me.  I've learned a lot.  I am looking forward to going to the seminar (Code-ology) and take the exam to be a certified coder, but first I need to finish all the courses."  Fiorella Vargas, Medical Office Insurance

" The career change has been good. Thanks for the classes that I have taken from the Association (MAB), I now work next to Tampa General Hospital on Davis Island in Tampa. Just think, I would not have passed the entrance exam if it was not for the classes that I took from the Association (MAB). Sammy (instructor) is great. All the students she has and still is personal. Vary supportive. She helped give me the confidence to take the test! At age of 44 I just sat down and aced the (test). Now I'm going into a new career. Thank you."        Karen White

"I'm new to coding but I think that you give us the most current info and didn't give us excess non-related info!"   
Serena Benson

"This was my first experience with a online class, I like the convenience of doing the work at my own pace. I feel it was as good as taking a class in person."   
Cecilia Petrak

"I though it was a great program and was very happy with the flexibility it allowed me. I enjoyed the course and had a great instructor, Sammy Dustin."

"The content explained things very clearly and gave good examples to apply.  I felt the information presented was to the point and precise."  Denise J. Perry

"I have taken the Medical Terminology class, the Introduction to Medical Office Insurance, and am halfway done with the ICD-9-CM class and the classes are some of the best I have ever taken!!  The instructions are easy to follow and the level of the information and classes are wonderful!  I would recommend your classes to anyone."  Barbara Burton

" I appreciate the efforts your staff puts forth to assist the general billing world have a better understanding of the types of issues that they may be faced with each day. Being in this business is not just about doing data entry, so many times the practice will rely on you as their billing staff for guidance. They trust you know what your doing and are doing it correctly. I know that our staff can rely on MAB for help when we are unclear."   
Jeri Newbold

"Evaluation gets all excellent from this participant. I couldn't have asked for a better curriculum or instructor. Everything was presented clearly and expertly, and I learned a great deal about coding issues that confront all of us in healthcare. Thank you for the experience. I would like to see advanced ICD-9 Coding on a regular basis."   
Marie Dooner

"Sammy is a fantastic instructor. She brings out information that is vary beneficial and she helps you believe you can pass the course!!!"   
Cynthia Thompson

" I never thought that I would take any kind of classes after high school.  I took these classes to better understand my job and I wouldn't have if they were not offered on-line.  Since I have been taking the classes I have enjoyed them and they put me to the test.  Being a single working mom the classes on-line have been wonderful and I can spend more time with my child that I could if I was driving to and from class.  And my instructor Sammy, couldn't be any better.  She seems to be a very nice person.  Thank you."   
Jamie MacGeorge

" I looked all over for a school to go to and learn medical billing and I believe I found just the right school.  I tell all my friends about it and that if they would like to learn about medical billing to call the school.  I worked in medical records before and I went back and got a job doing it again thanks to your school.  I told them I was going to school for medical billing and got a job!  I told them what school I was going to and I am sure someone will be calling you soon wanting to know more about your school."   
Paula Gray

"(The most beneficial information was) the helpful hints on dealing with insurance companies, denied claims, etc."    Charles A. Moffitt

"I give this course an excellent rating with a first class instructor!  I would love to see advanced ICD added to the program.  Thanks so much."   Marie Dooner

"It was all beneficial and its hard to say what was the best."   
Audrey Knestrick

"In my opinion the class does not need improvement.  It is an excellent training program."  Barbara Burton

"The on-line Seminar I took was fun and informative. I found it to be very challenging unlike most of the other seminars I take. I think that it was great! I have put several of the examples into place in my office. I think the examples are great because you can put them into place right away and feel like you are using some of the information that you learned immediately."  Stephanie Parrish 

" The student must, in addition to turning the lesson answers in weekly, read and study each lesson. The courses are full of vital billing and/or coding information. The final exam asked questions which were not part of the weekly assignments, which gave another opportunity to study and possibly "catch" info skimmed over the first time. Sammy is an excellent instructor and is available to the students via e-mail each day. She is most willing to take whatever time necessary to clarify the lessons and/or questions. The biggest mistake a student could make is assuming before asking Sammy for help."   
Kathlyn S. Bergin 

"The most beneficial information was that all the info was valuable. Mrs. Sammy Dustin is a wonderful, helpful instructor!"   
Nancy Bellissimo

" Sammy is an excellent trainer. She has always answered my questions in a very timely manner. This is very much appreciated."                    Crickett Montague

" The most beneficial information was the ability to converse with the instructor on my own time."      
Jeannie Gonzales

"The most beneficial information was the answers from the instructor. You ask a question and you have an answer by the next morning."   
Karen White

"The class gave me more detailed information regarding modifiers which helped me to put them together with the coding examples. I can not say enough good things regarding these classes."   
Mary Homer

          Association Note:

"We are very proud of Mary! She just passed her
CPC Exam from AAPC! Plus the CMBS from MAB!
Way to go Mary!" 

"My overall class rating is excellent. I am VERY busy and find online classes the only way to go. I have wanted to go back and get certified for awhile but been to busy. Thanks to you I can. You respond back to me with my answers so fast and I thank you! I actually look forward to getting my lessons."    Brenda Rodgers 

"The most beneficial information was the technical information and great explanation of the subject and processes.  They allowed me to perform my job at a much higher level."  Barbara Burton

" My overall rating for the Introduction to CPT Coding class is excellent. I think the program works well as is and needs no changes."                    Dana Kuders

" The most beneficial information was that I was able to ask my instructor questions via e-mail and she was prompt in responding to my concerns. Overall Sammy was an excellent instructor and I enjoy working with her. Taking these two classes over the internet was very beneficial. I would recommend Anatomy and Medical Terminology class to anyone that is interested in the medical billing profession."    Xinia Weeast

" My overall course rating is Excellent! To me the most beneficial information was basic work fundamentals to understand meanings like the prefixes, suffixes, and basic anatomy wording. This has been my most enjoyable class."    Susan Gilmore

" In my opinion the whole CPT course was excellent, informative, helpful, and very convenient online!"    Nancy Bellissimo

"All of the information was very helpful since I was new to ICD-9 coding. I had always coded for dentists and of course they don't use ICD...so therefore all the information I received was very helpful. I don't see any need to change anything (in the class) at this point. It works well for me! I have really enjoyed all the courses I have taken thus far. They have helped build my confidence and given me the knowledge I needed to bill correctly. I highly recommend these courses!!"    Beth Coats 

"All lesson notes are relevant and useful. They are very well summarized material. As a whole, I think both MAB and the instructor (Sammy) have done an excellent job in providing the training. Keep up your good work! By the way, your forum is what attracted me to your courses. Thank you for the effort you put in setting up the forum. Sammy always grades the assignments and returns them the very day. She deserves an A for that!"   
Lily Chang-Ngok Toh

"(Introduction to ICD Coding overall course rating.) Excellent. I have enjoyed the class and feel I have come away having learned more about ICD-9 codes."   
Susan Gilmore

"The most beneficial information (Proper use of Modifiers) was the discussion with the instructor as to why a particular answer does or does not apply. The explanation of the answers. Sammy is an excellent instructor and is available on-line to discuss or clarify the lessons. The assignments act as an incentive to actually using the coding manuals."   
Kathlyn S. Bergin

"The on-line Seminar (Improving Patient Collections) I took was fun and informative. I found it to be very challenging unlike most of the other seminars I take. I think that it was great! I have put several of the examples into place in my office. I think the examples are great because you can put them into place right away and feel like you are using some of the information that you learned immediately." 
Stephanie Parrish 

"(Overall course rating) was excellent!  All of the information was very beneficial, I personally needed work on the surgical modifiers.  I can't think of any needed improvements at this time. "

"(The most beneficial information was) the ability to have access to the instructors. I thought the program was good the way it was and I accomplished what I was set out to do with the class. I really have enjoyed the classes that I have taken so far. The instructors are very knowledgeable and are there for you when you need their help. They are also put together very well, and it's amazing how much you can learn through the MAB courses. I'm glad I decided to take them.  "  (Anatomy and Medical Terminology)  Karen Habel CDA

"I really appreciated the encouragement and clear direction on "cold" calling and walking into an office "cold".  The instructor's ideas will be very helpful in overcoming the fear of the unknown and the fear of rejection.  I am involved with the running of a small construction company, and found many things that were useful even in that application."  (Billing Center Marketing)  Evelyn Cirrito

"(Billing Center Marketing) The information I received from the lesson was far more valuable than the money I spent. I'm still reviewing the lesson to make sure I am walking the straight and narrow road, thank you for your help."   Linda Wilcoxson

"The most beneficial information (in the Billing Center Marketing Class) was the contract that was given and the analysis...it made it a lot easier to think of what I can use for myself based on my own personal needs.  I am very proud that I was able to complete this program.  The information has helped me tremendously and has helped me more effectively market my business.  It has also helped me sign my first client by using the marketing techniques given throughout the course.  Thanks MA, I would take this class over and over again in a heartbeat!  DeAndra Lopez

"Just wanted to let everyone know I started taking an online coding course through MAB. Yesterday I was speaking with a Cardiologist's wife, (she oversees the practice and has a great deal of knowledge in billing and coding.) We were discussing some coding issues and she was asking me a few questions and the correct answers just came flying out of my mouth! She was quite impressed as she was trying to tell me how complex their billing is. I guess it goes to show the more you know the better off you are. So thank you MAB!"  Karen Karebilling Services

"Good basic medicare coding information.  Easy to understand basics of procedure and ICD-9 coding for Medicare.  I thought it was great!"  Karen Plunkett

"I actually was disappointed that (the Anatomy and Medical Terminology) class was over so soon.  I was really getting into the nitty gritty of it and before I turned around the final exam was e-mailed.  the class was very personally gratifying for me.  I was able to pace myself accordingly and felt challenged with the course content.  I would recommend this on-line class to anyone wanting to further their knowledge of A&P."  Patricia Collins

The most beneficial information was just about everything!  Although I was familiar with CPT Coding, it was extremely beneficial to have all the little nuances pointed out, specifically where simple errors can be made and how to avoid them.  Gerri A. Riley

I believe (the CPT Coding Class) was all beneficial, but the encouragement that was continually given was helpful.  I believe the course work works well for people who have full time jobs and families.  Excellent information along with help when you need it."   Dawn Shepard

"The most beneficial information (in the Modifier Class) was on the options we have in using modifiers and how to use them to best describe an incident."  Dawn Shepard

"The most beneficial information (in the Anatomy, Physiology & Medical Terminology class) was how the medical terms are broken down into the root, prefix, suffix, etc AND the meaning of root words." Cynthia Thompson

"I looked forward to my weekly e-mail.  Being able to have access to training this way is wonderful."   Cinda Lippman

"I was very pleased with this course.  I feel that I am well on my way to becoming certified, and am certain that MA Billers will be behind me all the way.  the course is neatly encased in plastic sheaths in a binder to be used as a reference tool in the beginning when things feel shaky.  I had asked questions when something wasn't clear, and always received a prompt and clear answer.  A great way to learn.  I have recommended over half a dozen people to these classes.  I cannot recommend this organization enough."  Mary Burns

"The (CPT) class was presented step-by-step, which walked us through coding in a clear, understandable manner."   Mary Burns

What others have said about our Las Vegas Seminars.

"I felt that the seminar was very informative and the materials provided by the panel of speakers were outstanding.  Each speaker was well prepared for his or her talks and they were very receptive to any questions that the participants had for them  I thoroughly enjoyed the three days and benefited immensely from all of the information provided.  I would not hesitate to attend another seminar"  Kathleen Connor

"As a new start-up billing service owner, I found this conference to be of enormous wealth of information about the billing/health care industries that helped me to understand better how to provide assistance to my potential  client/healthcare provider.  (The most beneficial information) was the A/R clean-up and recovery workshop and the chart auditing exercises" Ronena J. Summers

"I have been a medical biller for 20+ years and found the methods used for E&M documentation in the AR Adjudication and chart audit presentation the easiest way I have ever seen.   The new collections program from ASI sounds exciting.  My providers are now paying 45% to a collection agency.  They will love paying only 5%.  Thanks for the opportunity."  Yvette Klemm
