No more will that CEU code from a chapter meeting or webinar be lost in your purse or notebook thanks to new features in the My AAPC app. You can upload and manage what you need on the spot, and you can plan what CEUs you wish to pursue from your mobile device.
My AAPC Puts Membership in Your Palm
My AAPC is a free app for your phone or tablet that allows you fast, easy access to your AAPC membership benefits, exam results, CEU tracker, and more. With the latest update of My AAPC, you can now:
- Access the CEU Tracker to track progress
- Enter CEUs and submit CEUs through your submission window
- Scan your Membership QR Code at the door of your Local Chapter meetings to earn applicable CEUs
- Find an AAPC event using the new Event Search Advanced Filtering that allows you to search by date range, event type, location, and local chapter
The easy-to-learn features promise instant documentation of your local chapter meeting and your training. And you can now go into your CEU tracker and see where you stand and how many and what CEUs are needed.
Missy Kirschner, MPH, CPC, CDEO, CRC, CPC-I, MACRA Proficient, AAPC Fellow, tried the new features. She found it easy to adopt.” There was no learning curve. I found it to be very intuitive to add my recent CEUs,” she said. “I was not sure how it would work with my new certification and the split CEUs (core vs specialty) but it was so fast and easy!” she added.
She said she loved the ease of quickly seeing the status of her CEUs from her phone. “It’s fast and easy to use,” she said. “Honestly, it seems that I do 95 percent of my activities on my phone rather than my computer. All of the options that I typically use on the AAPC site are very quick to access and find. It’s so much more convenient than logging into my computer. “
The Buckeye, Arizona local chapter tried the new local chapter meeting tool, which allows members to have their membership QR Code scanned right from My AAPC to have attendance marked. This ends the ritual of passing around a sign-in sheet. Amy Clements, CPC, CRC, local chapter president, said, “The Buckeye officers and Members found the new way to do attendance and track CEUs to be so quick and efficient.” Clements said that “almost everyone these days has a smartphone so you have the ease of marking attendance and seeing your CEUs right in your hands. The feature is so easy that multiple officers can be taking attendance at one time and the meeting can get started on time.”

I think there should be a way for us to self submit other seminars for CEUs. Not everything applicable, is from AAPC (or off the vendor list). It is frustrating when your employer sends you to a seminar which is directly related to coding and you can’t get anything for your day. Different organizations cater to different groups, and some don’t want to pay the exorbitant fee AAPC requires. I feel you are hurting the person who can least afford it. Therapists, Nursing Home Administrators, Directors of Nursing and Social Workers all have a way to self submit the content of a seminar. If we are to be required to have CEUs and are supposed to be considered professionals, shouldn’t we also have this benefit? Please reconsider your inflexible policy, and give us credits for our seminars.
It would be great to be able to listen to webinars using the mobile app.

Please contact customer service.
Good morning everyone. I am so ready and excited for HEALTHCON 2020 Virtual Experience. Have a great day!
Using the APP on my phone to listen in on the conference would have been great!
I’ve downloaded the app and reset my password several times and cannot log in. I also can’t get into the Blackboard, even though I was just in there yesterday. When I tried resetting my username/password on the blackboard, it tells me it can’t find my account. I called Customer Service and they are closed. Any advice?
Hi, Shawna. You were right to contact customer service. If you are calling after hours, please try back during our regular business hours.
I want to know when you have the CPC certification can you code inpatient also?
Ernso, the knowledge you gain from obtaining the CPC credential applies to all coding in all settings. The CIC credential expands your knowledge of inpatient coding. We recommend starting with the CPC for a general understanding and then add to your resume with subsequent credentials, as needed.
