I am a CPC-A and I have been employed by a Podiatrist for a year now. By the AAPC guidelines for becoming a CPC I need one year experience and 2 letters, one from employer and one from an instructor. By those guidelines, I can have the A removed. But my concern is that my experience has only been my externship in a MD's office and one year in Podiatry.
Should I get the A removed? Or should I keep it and try to gather more experience? I don't see myself leaving this office for awhile due to the economy in Michigan. There just aren't any jobs right now. I'm not sure what way to go and I'm looking for feedback on what others would do. I feel that having the -A after the CPC is keeping me from getting other jobs when I apply.
So what would you do?
