The American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) is an internationally recognized organization that oversees the quality of medical coders worldwide. It offers training and certification through a global network of educational providers.
Medical coding involves the transformation of healthcare diagnoses, procedures, services, and equipment into standardized alphanumeric codes.
These codes are derived from medical record documentation such as physicians’ notes, laboratory reports, and radiology results.
Medical coding professionals play a critical role in the billing process by accurately abstracting data from medical records, assigning appropriate codes, and preparing claims for insurance reimbursement.
The demand for medical coders continues to grow, with industry employment projected to increase significantly. Thousands of professionals are needed to meet the rising need for accurate medical documentation and billing.
AAPC’s medical coding certifications are considered the gold standard in the healthcare industry and are widely recognized and respected by employers across the nation.
