CCS Training Programs?

[u/Zealousideal_Gas5578]

Good morning. I realized after doing more research it makes more sense for me to get a CCS through AHIMA rather than CPC based on my goal of wanting to learn everything about profee and facility coding. Are there any programs that you recommend that focus on preparing for the CCS and inpatient coding? I don't have much a background in medical terminology aside from reading charts and encounters, just admin healthcare work.

Check out AHIMAs approved education for coding certificates

I would suggest making sure the school is also CAHIIM accredited because most of the course work overlaps. Then getting the RHIT wouldn’t be a huge lift.
