Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC)
“Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect”
The inpatient medical coding certification standard, Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC), is the only credential dedicated exclusively to inpatient hospital/facility coding. The CIC validates expert-level knowledge and experience in abstracting information from the medical record for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS coding, and it signifies specialized payment knowledge in Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRGs) and the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS). Invest in your future with the CIC credential ― certified coders earn 40 percent more than non-credentialed coders.
