Need help on online schools in the health industry.?

I am currently employed in the banking industry and I want to switch over to the health industry asap. I have been looking over some online schools and I came across correspondence schools such as; Penn Foster and Ashworth University. I am not sure it there are any more. I also came across Brighton College located in Hudson, OH. This school is an actual college but it is online only and their programs are in Healthcare only. This school you go at your own pace and you have a year to finish the program of your choice. Has anyone heard of ANY of these schools? Has anyone TAKEN anything at any of these schools? Any past or present experience with any of these schools? I would like to take an online program in medical records, or billing and coding; just to get me started and out of the banking industry, it is nerve racking. Please help! Any infor you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I would NOT recommend an online school for the medical records/ billing and coding field.
Most people that complete online courses such as these never get jobs. Many places of employment now require RHIT credentials to do medical records or coding. To get your RHIT, you have to go to an accredited program, which the online schools are not.
Dont’ waste your time and money. Try a community college and check out their accreditations by AHIMA.
