Wiki Apprentice Status Removal

[valerie.l.sarno@gmail.com]

Hello,

I have a CPC-A and am trying to figure out how to remove my A. It states that 1 year can be removed by having 80hrs experience. I have over 300 documented hours from my program I finished. Will that only remove 1 year or 2?

Your education will remove 1 year. Finishing Practicode or working for one year will count as the second year.

Remove Apprentice from CPC - Apprentice Removal Requirements – AAPC

To remove your apprentice designation verifying at least two years of on-the-job experience using the CPT®, ICD-10-CM, or HCPCS Level II code sets.

Ok. Thank you. I was thinking that but wanted to be sure before I signed up for something to cover that 2nd year.
