Let's take a look at a few of the most popular medical coding certifications and learn what they are for so you can decide which certification to get base on the type of medical coding job you are interested in.

📘The CPC is ideal for those medical coders interested in working in an outpatient setting such as a clinic or physician’s office. According to the AAPC, the CPC elevates the earning potential above other annual salaries. And it’s the most popular medical coder certification.

📗The COC certification indicates a high level of competency in coding specific to hospital groups, ambulatory surgical centers, and hospital billing and coding departments.
The COC certification is specifically for coders working in hospital settings.

📕The Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC) is the only credential dedicated exclusively to inpatient hospital/facility coding and is accredited by the American Academy of Professional Coders.

📗The Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) certification codes medical data used by hospitals and medical providers to obtain reimbursement from insurance companies or government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid

📘Certified Medical Coder (CMC) is considered one of the most common and popular medical coding certifications. Despite its appeal, is considered more difficult than other medical coding certification examinations because of the testing format. The CMC certification is solely for medical coders in the outpatient setting.

📗Taking The Test

When you’re taking the CPC exam, you’re allowed to bring in each of the code manuals (the ICD, CPT, and HCPCS manuals) and you’ll be asked to perform though you were coding at your regular coding job, so set up your manual in the way that makes the most sense for you.

📘Manage Your Time

Make it your goal to read and, if possible, answer every question on the test, but don't spend too much time on one question. Separate the questions into blocks of time, and work on one block of questions for a fixed amount of time before moving on to the next set.

📕Know Your Goals

Always keep in mind that you need to get 70% of the test or more in order to pass.

The long, multi-part questions that might have you look up three, four, or five codes are worth the same as the general knowledge questions.

The only way to succeed is if you are willing to accept the challenges that comes your way.

🎯 Review the Previous Coding - Pull previous superbills and claim forms for the most standard office procedures to see how they have been coded in the past. Always review the procedures applied against the medical record and perform a mini audit to see if you would code the record in the same way.

🎯 Learn the Specialty - Spend time with the practice manager learning about the flow of the office and standard procedures so that you do not miss any codes that could prevent the office from being paid properly.

🎯 Double-check the Explanation of Benefits - Fix the error and resubmit the record for payment. Discuss large-scale, unpaid EOBs with the billing and office staff to ensure that you are all working as a comprehensive team to get every procedure paid as quickly as possible.

🛑 Unbundling codes - Unbundling refers to using multiple CPT codes for the individual parts of the procedure, either due to misunderstanding or in an effort to increase payment.

🛑 Upcoding - Defrauds federal programs including Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare.

🛑 Failing to check National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits when reporting multiple codes. - If there is an NCCI edit, one of the codes is denied.” NCCI edits will also typically provide a list of CPT modifiers available that may be used to override the denial. In certain cases, clear direction is stated that no modifier may be used to override the denial.

🛑 Failing to append the appropriate modifiers or appending inappropriate modifiers - This could involve reporting modifier 50, Bilateral Procedure, to a procedure code that already includes bilateral service.
