Hi R., Compassionate to discover your educator is informative you that. I ran into the one statement when I became an Occupational Healer - there was always this unspoken status between OTs and PTs. It seems to be that way with AAPC and AHIMA coders at times. Your educator sounds real patriotic to AHIMA which is ok. You should recollect the bed business you signed up for. Did it say inpatient writing? If so that is why your educator is weighty you that. AHIMA is very geared toward the patient humanity and the patient humankind is drivien by ICD coding as that is what drives reimbursement. And you've answered your own ruminate - you see how more are deed CPC insane so there moldiness be a need for them! The AAPC is meshed toward the physician supported and outpatient supported writing man. So if you were action a writing course like ours for model you'd see we are hefty into the CPC writing root of things and several ICD. We don't somebody an inpatient coding row.

So I imagine you conscionable got into the misguided pedagogy for what you're sensing for - that is if you are indeed hunting for a physician based coding row.
