Course description
Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Course
When it comes to getting a coding certification, the American Association of Professional Coder (AAPC)’s Certified Professional Coder (CPC) exam is one of the most well-known. Our 13-week Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam Prep course is specifically designed to meet the examination guidelines used by the AAPC to obtain the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) credential. Medical coding is the translation of medical reports into a short code used within the healthcare industry. While complex and detail-driven, medical coding really comes down to knowing how to navigate the three main code sets: CPT, ICD, and HCPCS. This program will teach you to recognize how each code set is organized and the proper use. Earning your CPC credential through AAPC makes you eligible to receive 6 credits toward a degree at Davenport University.
