Need a plan to get an Associates fast and cheap

Your first stop should be https://partners.wgu.edu/home as bjcheung77 mentioned.

Starting with Sophia, you can fill out most of the gen eds for this degree: https://partners.wgu.edu/transfer-pathwa...=BSHIM7111 I'm not completely sure why Sophia's US Government doesn't fill the politics & US Constitution requirement, but it is what it is. That gives 31 credits/competency units.

Study.com can fill in that Politics & US Constitution requirement plus Organizational Leadership, Medical Terminology, and Pathophysiology. https://partners.wgu.edu/transfer-pathwa...=BSHIM4426 Total is now at 43 CUs.

Straighterline adds Pharmacology: https://partners.wgu.edu/transfer-pathwa...=BSHIM1855 (could also do Medical Terminology here, but it may be cheaper at SDC)

WGU Academy: nothing useful.

Ditto Saylor Academy.

But, if my understanding of WGU is correct (and it may be wrong), it's possible that a Pierpont BOG AAS with an Area of Emphasis in Information Systems will also satisfy "Introduction to IT Healthcare Systems". https://partners.wgu.edu/general-transfer-guidelines

That brings your total CUs to 46 or 49 out of 122. It doesn't appear possible to get to the maximum limit of 90 with this degree.

I would definitely not bother to try to get a CAHIIM accredited AAS to boost those numbers. It'll almost certainly cost you more time/money than the extra term or two it might take to satisfy the missing courses at WGU.
