23 SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CODING CAREERS23

24 I M INTERESTED IN LEARNING MEDICAL CODING AND PURSUING A CODING CAREER BUT I HAVE NO WORK EXPERIENCE IN A MEDICAL SETTING. HOW DO I GET STARTED? Begin by joining the AAPC & participate the Professional Medical Coding Curriculum (PMCC) program Consider taking preliminary, related courses prior to PMCC Upon passing the exam you will be awarded the credential of Certified Professional Coder Apprentice (CPC-A.) After you have worked two years doing coding, you will be designated as a full-fledged fledged CPC. 24

25 I M A CPC-A... HOW DO I GET THE A REMOVED? The AAPC requires two years of vocational coding or coding-related experience to get the A removed. There are a number of ways of becoming a full-fledged fledged CPC: Work for two years as a coder in some capacity in an allied health setting Complete 80 hours of medical coding training and work for one year as a coder in a healthcare setting Work as an extern in a coding position for a specified period of time based on other related experience **Clarify this Complete an online exam offered by the AAPC which involves correctly coding several hundred operative reports 25

26 I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND WOULD LIKE TO BECOME A CODER... IS THERE AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM THAT COVERS ONLY CODING? Yes. The PMCC program provides a comprehensive coding education package. Prior background (either educational or vocational) in medical terminology and human anatomy is a big plus toward successfully completing the PMCC program including passing the CPC exam. **Consider discussing coding boot camps here instead - Clarify 26

27 I HAVE WORKED ON THE CLINICAL SIDE OF MEDICINE AND NOW DESIRE EXPOSURE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE... WHAT CAN THE AAPC OFFER TO ENHANCE SUCH A CHANGE? With your strong background in medicine, you would start with the PMCC program and pass your CPC exam The AAPC also offers numerous supplementary exams and related certifications including Auditors Compliance Officers Coders for a multitude of medical specialties **Consider adding more administrative specialties to answer this question 27

28 I M A SEASONED CODER AND WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN JOBS RELATED TO ICD WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING NOW, AND AS WE APPROACH THE GO-LIVE DATE? Attend AAPC events related to ICD-10 Familiarize yourself with the ICD CM/PCS code sets Become well-versed in human pathophysiology & details of the ICD CM/PCS coding structure for proper code selection. You may also apply to the AAPC to become a certified ICD-10 trainer. 28
