CPC-H Course by the way is $300 off right now. Let me take you to that page.
Alicia: Laureen, can you explain. I know there are some questions going up about this CPC-H,
can you let them know what that qualifies you to do because there’s a little bit of
confusion, I think, with them.
Laureen: Yeah. The “H” is for those that want to work in an outpatient hospital setting.
On the sales page that we have here, here’s a special, but I want to show you a graphic
that we pulled the information from the AAPC salary survey. CPCs get paid well for – consider
you don’t really have to have a college education. You just need to be a certified
coder. Even coders who aren’t certified still make a decent salary not as much as
certified. But look at the CPC-H difference.
Alicia: Mind you when she says outpatient, she’s talking surgery centers and they pop
up all over the place, guys. These are gastric bypass centers, weight loss centers. People
that do just orthopedic work, stuff like that. Right, Laureen?
Laureen: Yes, that would be included, absolutely. Now, it’s not to say that these centers
won’t hire CPCs, but for whatever reason when the salary survey is done and people
have that “H”, they are earning increased salary. Can I get both credentials? Absolutely.
I mean, it can get a little ridiculous, you can have too many what I call, Girl Scout
badges; but CPC, CPC-H looks very impressive. The CPC, if you’re in the know, tells that
person that you are proficient at ICD and CPT coding for physician and outpatient from
that perspective. The “H” tells that person that you know that plus the reimbursement
aspect of outpatient stuff. You understand outpatient perspective payment systems and
information like that.
So, this course is basically about 24 chapters. You can come on this page and look at all
the details but half of it is on coding and half of it is in reimbursement. So, if you
are already an existing CPC or you’ve taken our course, you can waive half. But the deal
is, everything is from the AAPC. That’s up. We add our own little touch. I add my
own videos. The course is uploaded, we’ve already gotten enrollments, but my videos
aren’t up yet and I’m working on that. We’ve been having construction done at my
home, so I hope to get my studio back to make some more videos. So, the $300 is off until
I get my lectures done. It could be next week; it could be April 1st. So get in and get it
for $697 instead of $997.
Alicia: Right. And in the past, you had to be a CPC before you get another – like in
CPC-H; it’s not like that anymore. That’s a good change, isn’t it?
Laureen: That is true for the specialties.
Alicia: Right.
Laureen: But the CPC-H is considered a core credential like the CPC. So, you could get
it on its own before but… So, that’s about the “H.”
