Arizona College of Allied Health recommends that our Medical Billing & Coding program graduates become certified, though it is not a requirement to become a medical biller and coder and work in the field. A medical billing and coding certification enhances your resume by demonstrating proven skills, knowledge, and achievement. It can set you apart and elevate your standing when applying for jobs. Graduates of Arizona College of Allied Health’s program are eligible to sit for several types of medical biller and coder certification exams offered by nationally-recognized certifying organizations.
There are several different medical coding and billing certifications available. Be sure to contact the relevant testing organization so that you can review all exam information and prerequisites. As you decide which medical billing or coding certification to pursue, consider the requirements for maintaining the credential (e.g. continuing education units) or obtaining recertification down the road. Some of the available certifications are listed below.
CRC certification demonstrates knowledge of how to correctly apply ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes that are used in risk adjustment payment models in any health facility, including hospitals, physician offices, and ambulatory surgical centers.
CCA certification demonstrates coding proficiency in both hospital and physician practice settings.

CCS-P certification is a credential for coding practitioners who work to handle coding procedures in physician-based environments.
