CPC

The Certified Professional Coder (CPC) is the gold standard for medical coding in a physician office setting. The CPC certification exam tests the competencies required to perform the job of a professional coder who specializes in coding for services performed by physicians and non-physician providers (eg, nurse practitioners and physician assistants). Individuals who earn the CPC credential have proven expertise in physician/non-physician provider documentation review, abstract professional provider encounters, coding proficiency with CPT®, HCPCS Level II, ICD-10-CM, and compliance and regulatory requirements for physician services.

CIC

• Certified inpatient coder is the dedicated credencial for inpatient hospital facility coding . The CIC validates expert level knowledge and experience in abstracting infor,ation from the medical records for ICD-10-CMand ICD-10-PCM coding and it signifies MS-DRG’s and the inpatient progressive payment IIPS.
• Expertise in medical record review to abstract information required to support accurate inpatient coding
• Expertise in assigning accurate ICD-10 medical codes for diagnoses and procedures performed in the inpatient setting
• Superior knowledge of current rules, regulations, and issues regarding medical coding, compliance, and reimbursement under MS-DRG and IPPS systems
• Strong ability to integrate coding and reimbursement rule changes in a timely manner to include updating the Charge Description Master (CDM), fee updates, and the Field Locators (FL) on the UB04
• Solid understanding of anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology required to correctly code facility services and diagnoses
• Understanding of outpatient reimbursement methodologies (OPPS)

COC

Outpatient ambulatory coder jobs are trending faster than ever before. As physicians move away from private practices and join hospital groups, career opportunities in outpatient facilities, such as ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) or hospital outpatient billing and coding departments, are opening for coders. The Certified Outpatient Coder (COC), formerly CPC-H®, exam validates your specialized payment knowledge needed for these jobs in addition to your CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS Level II coding skills. Invest in your future with the COC medical coding credential.

CPMA

Advance your career with the Certified Professional Medical Auditor (CPMA) credential. Medical auditing is a critical piece to compliant and profitable physician practices. Whether it’s Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) audits, private payer denials, or just peace of mind, more physicians plan to have audits conducted regularly. The risks of being non-compliant with documentation and coding are too great. As a CPMA, you will be able to use your proven knowledge of coding and documentation guidelines to improve the revenue cycle of nearly all healthcare practices.
