Recently, my organization has decided to hire an additional physician coder. We have many phone calls from other departments wanting to transfer to the coding department(most of them with no coding classes or experience ) One of these girls we have known for sometime. FInally at the end of her phone conversation she mentions...."What is the difference between the CCS-P and CPC credentials?" My supervisor said, " As far as I know there is not a big difference, just a different organization ."
I'll cut the rest to keep it short...Supposively the CCS-P starts 3.00 higher on the hour than the CPC! I am FURIOUS!!!!!!!!! No one has ever told us this....and as far as I know there is nothing more special about the CCS-P than the CPC. It is the exact same knowledge on the professional side of coding.
Does anyone else out there know something different....is there something MORE special about the CCS-P besides it being threw AHIMA?
We have emailed human resources and have yet heard an answer. If this is true...is there something that can be done about this?
Any thoughts?
