American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC)

AAPC was founded in 1988 to provide professional certification to physician-based medical coders and to elevate the standards of medical coding. Since then, AAPC has grown to more than 200,000 members worldwide and now offers 28 certifications encompassing the entire business side of healthcare.

They now offer training, certification, software, tools, and services for professionals working in medical coding, billing, auditing, clinical documentation, compliance, and physician practice management. We support providers and payers, hospitals and health systems, and help both individuals and organizations submit cleaner claims for fewer denials, faster reimbursement, and more efficiently run practices and facilities.

AAPC has the largest network of billing, coding, auditing, and practice management professionals. They provide a suite of software and services that support healthcare organizations with training, accreditation, and the tools necessary to ensure revenue optimization.
