Commonly asked questions On All Courses
Q: Which AAPC certification is best?
A:
Among AAPC coding certifications, the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) is the most popular choice. Considered one of the most reputable certifications in the healthcare industry, the CPC demonstrates an individual's ability to accurately code medical procedures and diagnoses for insurance claims. One becomes CPC-certified by passing an exam that tests one's knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, and coding regulations. CPC-certified professionals are among the highest-paid in this field, earning around $56,000 per year, 17% higher than the industry standard, suggests AAPC.
Q: Who is eligible for the AAPC Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam?
A:
You have to meet the following basic eligibility requirements to sit for the CPC Exam under AAPC:
- Education: You need a high school Diploma or an equivalent qualification (GED).
- Experience: Two years of medical coding work experience is recommended, yet it is not necessary. If you do not have such experience, you are free to take the exam and receive the designation of CPC-A (Apprentice) until proven two years of coding experience that you have acquired.
