Includes The BHAT® System
BHAT® (pronounced ‘bat’) stands for “Bubble, Highlight and Annotate Technique“. This is a proprietary system, which is used in connection with our educational services, created by Laureen Jandroep in 1999 that uses bubbling, highlighting and annotation techniques to help students quickly find key answers in their manuals during the open book CPC® exams.
Instead of flipping back and forth between pages where the guidelines are, the answers are right next to the codes when a student takes the board exam. Students have stated the BHAT® system gave them the confidence they needed to pass the exam. Another plus: the BHAT® system also helps coders in their day to day coding work! [Learn More]

If You Need To Learn Medical Coding Online, You’ve Come to the Right Place!
My name is Laureen Jandroep and I’m the founder and CEO of CCO. I’ve been teaching and coaching medical coders prepare for their medical coding specialist certificate since 1999.
I basically thought I was going to be an Occupational Therapist when I grew up and I was for a number of years. I actually ran a therapy practice here in South Jersey. At our zenith, we had about 27 therapists, aides and office staff. On average we did over 1.6 million in billing a year of which I was quite proud. But what I was most proud of is that we had less than a 0.06% rejection rate and that was because we did good coding. Kind of by accident, I basically had to do billing. I had to learn about cost reports and all of that. I got out manuals and I actually read the introductions of my coding manuals. We had a very low denial rate and in the rehab industry, that’s just unheard of. So I have taken an interest in coding since back then.
Medicare basically changed the way rehab agencies like mine were able to bill, and many of us went out of business. So I got into the billing and coding world. I ran a school for a number of years which I loved… and guess what… I’m still teaching even now!
We have a unique way of teaching myself new concepts and we share that with our students. So they “get it”. As fast as possible. Because medical coding demands that we stay current on changes in medical coding and billing. So let me tell you…
There is a Solution to Finding the Best Online Medical Coding Training
You see, it doesn’t have to be that hard. You don’t need to stress. After all, most medical coding schools are using the same textbooks and workbooks. So the important thing to focus on is the instructor and their teaching methods. There is an easier way…
Much thanks to Laureen and Alicia for your help and support! I passed the first time with an 88%! I feel such a sense of accomplishment! I knuckled down and completed the PBC course and the Blitz. The bubbling and highlighting is superb! Also, the practice exams were very helpful as Laureen and Alicia advised. Alicia’s understanding and nurturing coaching style is perfect for me. She was available when I needed her. Looking forward to continuing my studies with both of you.
–Kathleen Donoghue

Q: What are my payment options, and what’s the difference between them?
We understand that every student’s situation is different, so we now offer two flexible ways to enroll:
- Subscription Plan – Introduced in August 2025, this option gives students a low upfront cost to get started right away. You’ll have access to the course materials, and you can add on Blitz reviews and practice exams later when you’re ready. Think of this as a “rent-to-learn” plan if you’re looking for the most affordable entry point.
- Full Payment Plan – Students who choose to pay in full now receive Lifetime Access to the course and included bonuses. This means you’ll always have the training at your fingertips whenever you’d like to review or refresh—even years down the road.
No matter which plan you choose, you’ll be fully supported with resources, coaching, and access to our learning community. The main decision comes down to this: Would you prefer to keep things flexible with a subscription, or make a one-time investment for lifetime access? Either way, we’re here to make sure you succeed.
