With an RHIT credential, can I get a job that requires a CPC credential?
I am going to college for Health Information Technology and I plan to sit for my RHIT exam. I am not sure yet which department of HIM I'd rather work in, so I figured an RHIT credential will be my best option since it will give me more opportunities. I was wondering if, when the time comes, I could apply for coding positions that require a coding credential. Can a RHIT credential be considered a coding credential? Or will these employers only accept someone with a CPC? Thank you.

Some type of coding credential is usually preferred. CPC is the basic. I am a registered nurse and I am also a certified professional coder. This combo opens up so many avenues for me. Your RHIT is hot right now and will be for many years to come due to the major changes occurring in the non-clinical healthcare field. I would recommend that you get at least one coding certification to complement your degree. Go to www.aapc.com to view your many options.
