It seems like more employers are looking for additional certifications. (CPC, CPC-H and CCS) are the most recognized I would say in the state of California. Has anyone noticed that trend as well???
I totally agree with Kevin also. My employer encourages me to get specialty certs now, as they show initiative, desire to learn, among other things, and in our case, clients like knowing what we know I guess (ie an ortho client wants to know I know ortho). Its funny though, I just had a conversation with my sister, and she wants to know why I keep taking exams? She says isn't one enough? I told her I just LOVE to take the exams, lol! Seriously though, I like the challenge of the exam and learning new things about what I am doing, and keeping up with all the new stuff, like new procedures, etc.
