Letter from the Chairman and CEO, Reed E. Pew, from the Coding Edge Magazine March 2012.
Wow...I'm very surprised at the low response from the members, not even one percent of the members responded. With such a low response, I won't be surprised if AAPC drops the proposal.
"CPC-A Elimination?"
In January's Coding Edge, AAPC outlined a new proposal to eliminate the Certified Professional Coder-Apprentice (CPC-A) credential. We asked for your input on this throughout the month of January. We received 526 votes with approximately two-thirds against the proposal and one-third in favor of the idea. We also received over 400 comments with those votes. Although 526 votes from a membership of 112,000 is not a lot and could indicate indifference to the idea, we are taking the votes and comments very seriously. We will have an announcement regarding this idea prior to AAPC's 20th National Conference in Las Vegas (April 1-4). If we do move forward with this, the implementation date will be moved to January 1, 2013.
