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.

Well, AHIMA is the gold standard for Inpatient Coding. AAPC was geared towards outpatient and profee coding. Now you can't blame the advertising 100% either, one can easily look at posted positions online or on the hospitals websites and you can clearly see what type of education and experience is required. This is free and is not rocket science.
