This is my first time doing a poll so I am hopeful that I am doing this correctly.
Hi, I became a coder back in 2012. I was hired to code anesthesia also in 2013 and was expected to receive the CANPC certification. Which I did.
There was no designation for my first specialty which is pathology, so I opted to take the CHONC certification and passed. It was not ideal. Why would I need to code chemotherapy, when I am simply reviewing pathology accessions for both CPT and diagnosis assignments??
I would not only like the opportunity to receive such certification as described, but also be allowed to take an exam to deem me capable of being an instructor in this very specific specialty "pathology".
