This episode explains that the "A" in CPC-A certification stands for "Apprentice Status" and indicates a lack of work experience. It then outlines three ways to remove the "A" status: by accumulating two years of work experience, by combining one year of work experience with an AAPC-approved medical coding course, or by completing the Practicode program offered by AAPC, which counts as one year of experience (combined with education will equal 2 years of experience). While the Practicode is recognized by AAPC, it is important to note that employers may not consider it equivalent to actual work experience.Questions? Comments? Text us!Thanks for listening!
