Signing my name as a CPC

Hello all,

I just recently became certified (the end of October) and I have a probably silly question that I can't find the answer to.

How do you sign or write your name as a CPC. Should I sign documents at the office as: Kayla Wardle, CPC, or just my name...?

I am proud of my certifications, but if that is not the normal thing to do, please tell me so I don't look dumb. lol

Thanks,

Kayla
 
I use my credentials in my email signatures, but rarely when I'm actually signing my name to something. Having said that, I don't think there is anything wrong with signing your credentials. You worked hard for those letters, be proud of them!

Congrats on passing the exam.
 
What do you all think your are Dr's now or something :eek: :p :D? I added it to my name on Linked In, email signature and resume would never think of using it anywhere outside of doing busiensss. Don't be like those Dr's that get upset when you don't call them Doctor regardless of where they are ;)

I think if you are signing documents pertaining to coding, it would be prudent to sign them with your credentials. Example: you are appealing something to an insurance company or are abstracting a chart on paper. It lets other people in the office and outside know that you are qualified to do the task.

Of course add to your resume and signatures at work and other sites :D.
