Has anyone gotten or heard of the credential thru PMI for coding or office management

PMI offers a certified medical coder (CMC) certification. Their certification preparation curriculum is 29 classroom hours. The credential is not as recognized/respected as the AAPC's CPC credential, in my experience.

I just took and passed the CMC (Certified Medical Coder) and the CMAA (Certified Medical Administrative Assistant). The class I took was 120 hours. PMI also offers the CMOM (Certified Medical Office Manager). I believe these certifications are geared more towards working in a physician's office, so I also took the CPC.
