Ready for work; Seguin High School helps prepare grads for new careers
31 May 2019
(Seguin) — Seguin High School has not only prepared kids for the real world, it’s also helped at least two of them land a whole new profession just days before graduation. After mastering the National Insurance and Coding Specialist exam, high school seniors Jasmine Venegas and Christine Syring are ready to go straight into work.
The students were among those who successfully passed the medical billing and coding exam after undergoing the program at Seguin High School. Insurance and coding specialists not only prepare and submit claims to insurance companies but they also prepare and send statements to patients.
The high school program is under the direction of CTE Teacher Michele Avalos. Avalos says it was just three years ago, that a group of SHS students obtained this certification for the very first time. She says they are not only passing but being offered a job.
