Our story

From the front desk to the front of the classroom.

Advanced Coding Services wasn't built by an education company. It was built by a biller who learned the business from the inside and wanted students to learn it the same way.

  1. The beginning

    A receptionist who learned the business

    Beth Schleeper began as a medical receptionist for an internist in North Scottsdale. When the office manager left, the physician sent her to learn billing and coding.

  2. ~30 years ago

    T&T Consulting opens

    Beth and her father launched T&T Consulting to handle billing for medical practices, and trained externs from larger coding schools in real-world skills.

  3. 2015

    Advanced Coding Services begins

    Beth acquired Advanced Coding Services from its retiring founder and rebuilt it around one idea: teach coding the way it's actually done in a practice.

  4. Today

    A national community

    Students join from across the country. Alumni stay connected through The Apple Orchard membership, CEU webinars, and our Business of Medicine retreats.

How we teach

Built around the way you learn.

Everyone learns differently. Our curriculum helps you identify your learning style, then guides you through the program in the way that makes the material stick, so you walk into exam day ready.

Visual learners

Code-set maps, annotated charts, and walkthroughs that show how a claim moves from documentation to payment.

Auditory learners

Live instruction and discussion with instructors who explain the "why" behind every guideline, not just the rule.

Hands-on learners

Real coding scenarios, midterms, and three full practice exams, so you learn by doing instead of memorizing.

Close one-on-one instruction is included in every program.

Our instructors
