Hi,
I will have the A removed from my credentials in two weeks!!!! I intend to obtain more credentials for several reasons; eduation, job security and marketability, and would like to attain most of them before the ICD-10 conversion.
1. Is it beneficial to obtain the CCS? I've heard it is comparable to the CPC and it would be redundant to be a CCS too.
2. Is it too ambitious to test for the CPC-H and CCS in the same year? I took a 6 month class and am about to complete 1 year of work experience. So I am fairly new to coding with no previous medical field experience. I did pass the CPC exam on the first try if that makes any difference.
3. Is a RHIT or RHIA a good move?
4. Does anyone have any thoughts on or experiences with auditing certifications?
I would like to enhance my coding career with smart decisions concerning certifications and education, so any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
