Overview

Facility coding (hospital coding) is one of the best-paying sectors of the coding profession. If you're already performing some aspect of facility coding, the Advanced Hospital Coding (AHC) course will fill in the gaps, making you a more marketable employee. If you're currently working in a physician's office or other ambulatory care setting, this course will give you the edge you need to advance in the workplace.

Hospital coding is rarely an entry-level position, and most hospital coders are required to be certified. AHC covers advanced, hospital-specific coding and billing procedures and is designed to help you meet the challenge of today's changing standards. This course utilizes your existing knowledge of medical terminology and healthcare sciences. Upon completion, you will receive a voucher to take the Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) exam. Certification exams offered AHIMA only offers in-person exams in both the US and Globally.

Please note: We would like to inform you that AHIMA (American Health Information Management Association) has recently undergone a system transition to the new MYAHIMA Hub. This transition has had an impact on our ability to provide vouchers to you for membership and certification exams. We understand the importance of these vouchers in supporting your educational journey and career advancement. Please be assured that AHIMA is actively prioritizing the resolution of this issue. They are working diligently to address the technical challenges associated with the system transition. We are in close communication with AHIMA and will promptly fulfill all exam voucher requests as soon as AHIMA has implemented a solution. Our team is committed to providing you with the support and resources you need to succeed in your membership and certification exam endeavors. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience during this time of transition. We will continue to provide updates as we receive them from AHIMA. Thank you for your understanding. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you.
