AHIMA vs. AAPC Certification — Online Medical Coding Classes https://www.cco.us/ • Q #29: Why do most employers mention or ask for AHIMA certification instead of an AAPC? • A: Laureen: I don’t think that most employers do, it’s probably the type of jobs that you’re looking at are. In my area, in New Jersey, most of them want AAPC. So, I think it depends on your region, and of course if you’re… go ahead. • Alicia: I was going to say it, too. One of the things that when you go to get a job, the people that are listing the jobs are not from that department, they’re from HR. AHIMA has been around since 1920. Everybody knows AHIMA. AAPC has been around since the 80s. So, they don’t necessarily update their stuff, they just – “Oh, you need a coder? OK, this is the standard blurb we put in our ads.” So, you need to educate them when you go in and say, “Oh, I’m a CPC through the AAPC,” or whatever, and they’re probably going to be just fine with that. However, it is regional. • • Laureen: Yes. • Alicia: Maybe, there’s a bigger AHIMA organization chapters in that area and have been for years or vice versa, the AAPC. • For Medical Coding Training, Medical Coding Course, Medical Coding Tips, Medical Coding Certification and CEU Credits, visit https://www.cco.us/
