Q: [CPC-A Employment] - “Any advice for CPC-Apprentice to help find employment?"
A: I have advice. First thing, don’t worry about the A, that’s just my personal opinion. I don’t think it’s as big a deal as people make it out to be. I think it’s more important to us in what our peers are seeing after our name, but most employers - I mean, look at our alphabet soup after our names. I’m a CPC, a CPC-I; I could be a CPCP which are all pluses, but the CPC-A is a negative, kind of, they don’t know unless you tell them. So, I believe in the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for that.
If they come out and say, “What does the A stand for?” You can tell them, say, “I’m recently certified.” That’s it. You can downplay it. Your resume is going to speak to your experience; they’re going to tell that you don’t have two years of coding experience.
But at any rate, as far as how to find employment, we have an e-book that talks about how to find your first job. If you go to our site and go under Free Stuff, you’ll see it there. It’s free. We did research, we hired a copywriter, they went out and they interviewed people that were looking for coders - billing companies, hospitals, doctors’ offices and asked them a series of questions. It’s got really good info on how to pay attention to your cover letter, your resume, your interview skills. It’s really good.
You can do something like Practicode. We have a Medical Coding Practicum course that includes Practicode, which is a practice platform. Our version of it has over 3000 cases in it that you can code by specialty, so say you want to pick cardiology, you code that specialty and get your speed and your accuracy up, which they call a proficiency score. That you can print out to add to your resume when you go on interviews or when you mail your resume in.

This is very good information thanks.

I understand that you have to have 2 years of experience to no longer be an apprentice, but is that full time only? What if you can only work part time?

[@laureenjandroep4546]

Hi Christina - here is what they say on the AAPC website "To remove your apprentice designation via on-the-job experience, you must obtain and submit two letters of recommendation verifying at least two years of on-the-job experience (externships accepted) using the CPT®, ICD-9-CM, or HCPCS Level II code sets. One letter must be on letterhead from your employer*, the other may be from a co-worker. Experience includes time coding for a previous employer and prior to certification. Both letters are required to be signed and will need to outline your coding experience and amount of time in that capacity. Download our Apprentice Removal Template for easier submission. Letterhead and signatures are still required when using this template."
So they don't specify it needing to be full time. Best wishes.
