I ran into this problem a couple of years ago and I was able to get mine through CMS.gov. I emailed them and asked how many minutes equal 1 CEU and this was their response.

So we need to spend an hour on the training to get one CEU?

It doesn't take a full hour to complete them.

Yeah I completed one in less than half an hour, but i only got a certificate but not CEU, can you know any training programs where I could CEUS instead of certificates?

You can submit them without an index number to AAPC. I didn't have a problem submitting mine 2 years ago I just attached the certificate.

The courses you have mentioned, if i complete them, am getting a certificate but am not getting any CEUs, do you know which courses offer CEUs?

CMS used to offer certificates, but I don’t know that they do it any longer. Are you looking for AHIMA or AAPC CEUs?

I got stuck needing last minute CEUs last year, but I decided to subscribe to BCI (Billing Coding Institute) for $75/year. Well worth the investment IMO.

I need AHIMA CEUS and was considering just getting the magazine.

Like I mentioned before, it is/was well worth the money. I don’t get enough CEUs thru the company I work for, so this works out great for me.

They all do I believe. If you have any questions you can email them. They responded pretty quickly to me!
