I decided to create a Medical Coding Forum. It will not be dedicated to Andrews School topics. It will be a 'Closed' group so we know who is in it in case anyone is off-the-wall inappropriate, but otherwise, open to the public. The reason I decided to do it is obviously to keep The Andrews School name out there. I'm on 7 or 8 groups. Several of them are created and managed by the same people. There is one person who gives out very bad information, but it's her group and she is able to do that. It has made me want to start one where we don't really do much managing or controling, but at least I won't fear being thrown off if I correct BAD information being posted purposely by someone for their own questionable purposes. :) I hope ALL of you will join us there, whether you are coding students/graduates or not. Not much there yet. Please feel free to add, celebrate the opening of the forum, post introductory messages, etc. Always keep in mind though that this is social media. Don't post anything you aren't willing to have shared with the WHOLE WORLD.

I just opened it up and there are already something like 24 new members. Where there are coders, there will be coding EMPLOYERS and JOB LEADS and NETWORKING leading to JOBS. :)
I'm lovin' it already! :)
Thank you for adding me, Linda. It's really hopping too, over 84 members...? I think was the count I saw...I am really looking to gain valuble insight into all the issues as well as the networking aspect.
Wonderful! Thanks, Linda!
Hi Sherry, it's called Medical Coding Forum. I found a link to it through the Andrews Facebook page.
Thanks, Linda!
I think it is the best one on Facebook!
Lauren
Thanks, Lauren and everyone for all the support! I agree. I think it's the very best one. People are being civil, pleasant, professional, intelligent, and a lot of other impressive words.
If you haven't gone there, please do! I think you'll learn a lot just by surrounding yourself with some of these successful medical coders.
The forum has grown so fast that I've taken it to 'Secret' status. You still can get in, but you'll have to have one of the members refer you. We just started getting some inappropriate requests to join from people from questionable sources who have nothing to do with medical coding.
Send me an e-mail if you want to join. If you are an Andrews student or graduate, you're in! :)
Linda,
Does this forum still exist? If so can I get in or joined please?
Thanks,
Angela
I am wondering if it is still up and running also?
Thanks,
Nicki
Hello. I am wondering if you found out if this forum is still running? And if it is did you find out the name of it? I looked on Andrews School facebook page, but I didn't see anything on there.
Thanks,
Michelle
I am also wondering the same thing. I have looked on the Facebook page but can't find a link to the forum either....
It is a Facebook forum, but you have to be invited, or allowed by Linda. You might try sending an email to Glenda, or Linda and asking.
Yes, but it is a secret group and you need to be invited and approved by admin. Let Linda know you are interested.
I am interested in joining. Thank you!
Anyone who wants to join, just send me an e-mail requesting an invitation. I hit an 'Invite by e-mail' button which sends you an invitation. Then when you reply, I have to hit an 'Approved' button.
