Certified Professional Coder (CPC)

The American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) was founded in 1988 to provide education and professional certification to physician-based medical coders and to elevate the standards of medical coding by providing training, certification, ongoing education, networking and job opportunities. Currently, the AAPC has a membership base of 138,000 worldwide, of which more than 95,000 are certified. AAPC credentialed coders have proven mastery of all code sets, Evaluation and Management principles and documentation guidelines. CPC’s and other AAPC credentialed coders represent the best in outpatient coding.

AAPC certifications encompass the physician office, as well as other certifications. All certifications provide a working knowledge to support cleaner claim submission, resulting in more accurate coding, faster reimbursement and fewer denials. The AAPC offers continuing education through local chapters, workshops, monthly newsmagazine (Coding Edge), publications and conferences.

AAPC educational offerings cover both pre-certification needs and post-certification CEU requirements.  For more information about the AAPC, please click here.
