Wiki Hospice Coding

Hello - Is there a specific Coding Certification for Hospice/Palliative Care Provider jobs?

If not, which certification is most sought by Hospital/Palliative Home/Inpatient Care Providers?

Thanks!

either the CIC from AAPC or the CCS from AHIMA. I would contact your local hospice organizations and ask them which certification they expect their coders to hold. That way you know what direction to go towards.
