I would like to start a discussion about the new credential changes being implemented for CPC-H certified individuals.
What do you all think?
I have significant concerns that after training and passing the exam, we are being restricted with the change to outpatient services only being covered by our credentials. We are losing part of what we are qualified to do as previously stated by AAPC, which may have impacts upon employment.
I am proposing, and have written to AAPC to propose, that all current CPC-H certified individuals be given dual certification as CIC and COC's, since we were taught, tested and given credentials for both inpatient and outpatient sides of coding business.
I'd like to see what CPC-H's think about this proposal. Thanks. I trust this post will remain for discussion.
