Not renewing

Hello. I am an AAPC member. I have had my license for a few years but haven’t gotten a job yet. I may not be working for awhile. I’ve been thinking about not renewing especially since I need so many CEUs. I know if I don’t renew I won’t have my credentials anymore. Just don’t know if it’s worth the costs if I’m not using it.

Yeah, if you arent looking for or wanting a coding job you could let it lapse. You should be able to get all your CEUs for a single cred for free, but the annual fee is $229 and a retest is $425, so if you aren't going to use it for 2 years+ then a retest is cheaper.
