I attended their program for medical billing. There were only two maybe three courses out of two years of classes that actually covered medical billing. They had me do a class on how to create an office newsletter. There were many other courses that did not focus on medical billing. Waste of time!! What the feck? It's not a comprehensive program. I have a useless associates degree and student debt. I got pressured to quit my job and interview with jobs they thought I should be doing that were less pay and had nothing to do with medical billing. They did not teach me what was promised as an outcome for program completion. Do not engage with them.

This school is a total SCAM... Run and never look back. I wish I had. I am out $24,000 and have a degree that I am not able to utilize! I was lied to about work prospects. I have no experience but I have the academic background but no one will hire me without the experience. My next move will be contacting legal counsel also the board of education. This school is taking advantage of people who are seriously trying to better themselves. The curriculum is false, accelerated, not descriptive enough. I do not feel any of the degree programs should be accelerated. There should be more investigation into prior experience and career knowledge of potential students to determine what programs the student should go into.

I enrolled as a student at Ultimate Medical Academy in November 2020. I had selected to earn my Associate Degree in Medical Billing and Coding. I have completed seven of the courses needed and am currently one week away from completing two more of the courses. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA during my entire time as a student at UMA. I have worked very hard for the past seven months, ensuring all assignments are completed and turned in on time. This week, I received a phone call from the Department of High School Verification at UMA. They informed me that my High School is not accepted by them and they are withdrawing me from UMA by the end of the week. UMA knew the High School I graduated from the entire time. That information was provided to them during the enrollment process. Proof of my High School Diploma was sent in two months prior to them telling me it would not be accepted. I had completed seven courses, almost finished with two more, UMA received payment from my financial aide as well as student loans, and was half ways through my program when they informed me they would be erasing my enrollment and it will be as though I was never a student there. Credits will not transfer. They will be erased. All because UMA did not do their job from the beginning during the enrollment process ensuring my High School Diploma would be accepted by them. At no fault of my own, I was kicked out of the school. Again, I had 100% submission of assignments, 100% on time, and a 4.0GPA. An Academic Advisor of UMA actually told me I should seek a GED! I suffered the consequences of UMA not doing their job. I contacted my local college and found out that my High School Diploma is accepted with them. I will not let UMA's wrong doing stop me. I will be enrolling into the Medical Billing and Coding program at my local collage and graduate within sixteen weeks at a cheaper price. I feel as though Ultimate Medical Academy was very unprofessional to do a student this way. I would not recommend this school to anyone. Seven months of schooling for nothing, because they made a mistake. I was treated very unfairly. Nobody should have to go through what I am currently going through because of them. It is not right. Please make sure from the begging, because they won't, that your diploma is accepted. I would hate for them to waste your time like they did mine.

All they do is lie constantly and charge you and the Department of Education on your behalf please don't waste your time.

This school lied to me about me being able to become a phlebotomist. I was told at the beginning of the patient care tech program that I could become a phlebotomist that way since the school did not offer any funding for their phlebotomy program. In the second section they told me that because I never obtained enough needle sticks in school I could not become a phlebotomist and this was never mentioned before I signed the loan papers. They allowed a ditzy psychotic student to grossly slander my religion in class and the teacher forbade me from standing up for my religious beliefs. The school lied to me about not having to study psychiatry which I asked them constantly if studying psychiatry was ever part of their medical Administrative assistant program and the school lied to me about that and they never placed me where they promised. I have been scammed into a 19 to 20 grand student loan debt. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!

My Daughter who is Autistic and receives Social Security Disability for speech and language deficits. This bogus "school" roped her into $12,000.00 in student loan debt. She is barely able to understand how her debit card works. When I called the school to try and get an understanding of how this happened, how they could give her student loans for a "degree" she will be be able to use. THEY WOULD NOT TALK TO ME! The person that will be making sure the bill gets paid. Do not get sucked into the "bogus" and student loan defrauding institution.
