I just wanted to confirm something that I can’t seem to get a straight answer about and maybe someone can help. I’m currently taking the CPC course and I know I’m going to have to remove the apprentice from my certification eventually. I noticed that one of the requirements is completing the Practicode and 80 hrs medical coding course. I wanted to know if me taking the AAPC CPC course will fulfill the 80 hrs for the apprentice removal? Or do I have to take another course after getting my certification? And if so does AAPC offer a course to fulfill that?
