Salaries for Certified Coding Professionals, CCS and CPC. The best source for a reliable medical coding salary range is the credentialing organization itself. The Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) through AHIMA and the Certified Professional Coder (CPC), through AAPC are often the coding credentials in highest regard by employers. If you are not a member of those organizations, you may not be able to access those statistics.
So, for the AAPC it is the CPC, certified professional coder exam. For AHIMA, it is certified coding specialist physician based credential. If you are looking for outpatient hospital based exams, for the AAPC, that is going to be your CPCH and for AHIMA, the outpatient aspect is part of their CCS exam.
