Certified Professional Coder (CPC®)
A Certified Professional Coder has proven by rigorous examination and experience that they know how to read a medical chart and assign the correct diagnosis (ICD-10), procedure (CPT®), and supply (HCPCS Level II) code for a wide variety of clinical cases and services.
Certified Professional Coder-Payer (CPC-P®)
More private and public payers (health plans) are recognizing the value of employing certified coders to process and analyze medical claims for payment. The CPC-P® credential meets the growing demand for certified coders in a payer environment.
Certified Professional Coder-Hospital Outpatient (CPC-H®)
Certified Professional Coder-Hospital (CPC-H®) A Certified Professional Coder-Hospital (CPC-H®) must pass a coding certification examination. The examination consists of questions regarding the correct application of ICD-10-CM CPT®, diagnoses and procedure codes used for billing facility services to insurance companies. A CPC-H® must have at least two years coding experience and maintain yearly renewal and CEU requirements.
Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC™)
The new inpatient medical coding certification standard, CIC (Certified Inpatient Coder), is the only certification dedicated exclusively to inpatient hospital/facility coding. The CIC validates expert level knowledge and experience in abstracting information from the medical record for ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS coding, and specialized payment knowledge in MS-DRGs and Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems (IPPS).
Become Certified Through the AHIMA
Certified Coding Associate (CCA®)
Recent graduates of medical coding schools can get an entry-level coding credential to certify their competency. The CCA® is the starting point for graduates of medical coding schools who are beginning their career.
Certified Coding Specialist (CCS®)
The CCS® credential denotes a high standard of proficiency in coding beyond the entry level certification. Medical coders must be very familiar with the ICD-10-CM coding system and the CPT® (Current Procedural Terminology®) coding system’s surgery section. Clinical coders must, in addition, be apprised of medical terminology, hospital practices, pharmacology and treatment options in order to translate the information within clinical case notes into medical codes.
Certified Coding Specialist-Physician-based (CCS-P®)
The CCS-P® is a medical coder who is certified to work in a physician-based environment such as physicians’ offices, clinics, specialty centers or other similar settings. In addition to having a sound knowledge of ICD-10-CM® and CPT® coding systems, a certified CCS-P® will also be familiar with HCPCS® (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) Level II coding systems.
