I don't have that one, however I think it would be good if you want to work in the compliance department or be a compliance officer. I am not sure it would really help for general coding or subspecialty coding. It is good knowledge to have. It depends on what you want to do. I have thought about it but that's not the direction I want to go and I no longer work directly in a practice compliance related department. If you work in compliance, training, regulatory affairs, etc. it may be worth it. I am thankful for the ones I earned. You have to look at what you want to do and the direction you would like to go. For example, every specialty credential I got was 100% relevant to what I was doing at the time I earned it. What type of role to you eventually want to end up in?
"AAPC's Certified Professional Compliance Officer (CPCO) credential addresses the ever-growing compliance requirements of government laws, regulations, rules, and guidelines. Medical practices need staff who can develop, organize, manage, and direct the functions of a compliance department.
By passing the CPCO exam, employers recognize you possess an understanding of the key requirements necessary to effectively develop, implement, and monitor a healthcare compliance program for your practice based on governmental regulatory guidelines — including internal compliance reviews, audits, risk assessments, and staff education and training."
