A Note about Accreditation
Accreditation ensures that a school meets minimum academic standards. The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) and the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) certify medical coding and billing programs. Credits from an accredited program are more likely to transfer to another school and employers prefer graduates from accredited schools.
