As AMCI’s Vision for 2025: Elevating Medical Coding Education and Career Opportunities

As we look toward 2025, AMCI is thrilled to announce several major developments designed to elevate our students’ learning experiences, expand career opportunities, and strengthen support systems. These initiatives demonstrate our ongoing commitment to innovation, positioning AMCI at the cutting edge of medical coding education.

1. MCDC Course Transitions to Independent Study with Optional Live Support

In 2025, the Medical Coding and Documentation Certification (MCDC) course will offer a flexible, independent study format paired with optional live, instructor-led group sessions twice a week. These sessions provide real-time support, guidance, and peer interaction, ensuring students receive both flexibility and valuable community support on their coding journey.

2. Launching a Digitally Optimized LMS for Seamless Learning

To enhance the learning experience, AMCI is rolling out a new, digitally optimized Learning Management System (LMS), offering a fully integrated, user-friendly platform where students can access all course materials in one place, including:

• Lectures, recorded playbacks, readings, and exams in sequential order
• Progress tracking to ensure students know their standing and milestones
• Seamless access to live sessions and externship opportunities

With this intuitive, well-organized platform, students can concentrate on mastering medical coding without distractions, maximizing their learning potential.

3. Real-World Externship Opportunities with Leading Medical Coding Providers

AMCI is excited to kick off partnerships with top medical coding and billing providers, offering students the chance to gain up to two years of real-world experience coding live claims through externships. This hands-on experience, a first of its kind, equips our students with in-demand skills and makes them highly attractive to future employers, giving AMCI graduates a significant edge in the job market.

4. Introducing the Medical Coding Test-Taking Anxiety Academy

We understand that certification exams can be daunting. To help our students succeed, AMCI will launch the Medical Coding Test-Taking Anxiety Academy in 2025. This specialized program offers:

• Strategies, coaching, and support to help students manage anxiety
• Practical techniques to build confidence and perform optimally on exam day

This academy aligns with our belief that mental and academic preparation is the key to exam success.

5. Expanded Career Support Services

Beyond our Medical Coding Jobs Referral Program, AMCI will provide all students with complimentary resume assessment services. Whether you’re a new graduate or seeking a career change, our career services team will ensure your resume is competitive and tailored to industry standards, increasing your visibility to potential employers.

6. Launch of the Updated MCG Manual on December 31, 2025

We are excited to announce the release of the new Medical Coding Guidelines (MCG) Manual on December 1, 2025. This updated edition includes:

• Expanded coding guidelines with step-by-step instructions
• Billing guidelines and facility coding testing for comprehensive learning
• A complete reference for HCPCS Level II and Modifiers
• 1,000+ digital exam questions with in-depth rationales

The MCG Manual will be a must-have resource for both new and experienced coders, helping them excel in their careers.
