Continuing Education Credit Notification

Continuing education credits may be awarded by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC), the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), and the American Medical Billing Association (AMBA) for participation in CMS National Provider Conference Calls. If you plan to request continuing education credit from your professional organization and if this organization requires proof of registration, you will personally need to register so that you receive a confirmation e-mail.

Continuing Education Information for the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC)

If you have attended or are planning to attend a CMS National Provider Conference Call, you should be aware that CMS does not provide certificates of attendance for these calls. Instead, the AAPC will accept your e-mailed confirmation and call description as proof of participation. Please retain a copy of your e-mailed confirmation for these calls as the AAPC will request them for any conference call you entered into your CEU Tracker if you are chosen for CEU verification. Members are awarded one (1) CEU per hour of participation.

Continuing Education Information for the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA)

AHIMA credential-holders may claim 1 CEU per 60 minutes of attendance at an educational program. Maintain documentation about the program for verification purposes in the event of an audit. A program does not need to be pre-approved by AHIMA, nor does a CEU certificate need to be provided, in order to claim AHIMA CEU credit. For detailed information about AHIMA's CEU requirements, see the Recertification Guide on AHIMA's web site.

Continuing Education Information for the American Medical Billing Association (AMBA)

AMBA will accept your e-mailed confirmation as proof of participation. Print the email and attach it to AMBA's CEU form. Members are awarded one (1) CEU per hour of participation.
