Q&A CRC Credential or Complete Practicode to remove -A from CPC/COC -- ?

[Pam H.]

I'd like some opinions on the best sequence to do things for the purpose of employability. Would it be best to complete the Practicode modules required to remove the -A (apprentice) from my CPC-A and COC-A and then get a CRC credential or vice versa (i.e., get a CRC credential first and then work on getting the -A's removed from the other credentials)--??

My opinion is to not worry about the A and let it come off naturally <g>. Most employers don't even know what it means - they can tell from your resume that you do or don't have experience. The CRC is a great next credential and risk adjustment coders are in demand right now.

Thanks, Laureen - I sure appreciate your input. That really helps me validate and clarify my thinking, as I was supposing my time and effort might be better spent obtaining the CRC rather than working off the -A's, but I wasn't 100% sure, so muchas gracias! Alicia's CRC course looks really good.
