Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so so much. I have been seeking this information for years now and you said it all. Thanks so much. But I do have another question? If I take the CCS exam will I be a Coder l or Coder ll or Coder lll? Coder l, Coder ll and so on, does this go by the years of experience or by the certification? I see a lot of posting that say Coder ll with the CCS after it but just wondering if you might be able to help me out on this. Thanks so so much for your knowledge, as I am totally subscribed to you...

Hi! I am a quality assurance specialist working for a behavioral health agency for 4.6 years. I review patient demographical data along with reviewing and correcting medical claims (fixing billing and coding errors). Also, I have knowledge with working with a revenue cycle for submitting claims. I am very interested in obtaining a certification to expand my knowledge. Which credential should I pursue, a CPC or the CCS? My goal is to become a clinical auditor or anything related with reviewing patient documents. Thank you!

Thank you for all the helpful information! do you have any recommendations on material to study for the CCS-P? I currently hold my CCA but my employer will no longer accept it and has asked me to obtain CCS or CCS-P. I took the CCS exam and scored low 255. Thank you, any help is appreciated.

Hello! Medical school drop out here. I had to because of disability, but my brain still works. I am set to begin my cpc training in November, but I am thinking to drag the ICD-10-PCS along with that with the hope of setting myself up for the CCS after passing the CPC; what do you think?
