Wiki CIC or CCS

[scrawford1690@gmail.com]

Hi!!

I need some advice. I currently have the CPC certification. I'm studying for the CCS, but am now wondering if I should just go for the CIC.. so I wouldn't have to uphold both the AAPC credential and the AHIMA, and pay both fees. Which one is the better choice?

Thanks!

Uhh .. you might be asking at the wrong place. I think the majority of users here on the AAPC forums would probably suggest AAPC is better or maybe they're equal. There are Facebook groups about medical coding that you could join and potentially ask your question there to see what they say. You might be more likely to get a slightly less biased answer than you would here.

I'm fully aware that I only have AAPC to go off of, so I wouldn't be able to give you any advice regarding that.
