Wiki CPC-A

[Minotrn57]

I need the A removed from my CPC status. I have done Billing and Coding for 10 years for a family practice called Comprehensive Family Practice of Columbiana. The actual practice has been bought by Quickened Urgent care so it no longer exists. Is it acceptable to get a letter from the physician from Comprehensive Family Practice (Dr Andrew Beistel) stating I did indeed do all the billing and coding in this practice to remove the A status from my CPC. I am unable to get hired with the A status. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
