CERTIFIED BILLING AND CODING
CONTINUING EDUCATION

ALL Certified Billing and Coding Specialists (CBCS) need 10 to 20 hours of Continuing Education (CE) every two years. This is essential to maintain your certification and stay up-to-date with the latest in billing and coding practices.

There are many websites and methods to complete CE. For each one, you will need to create an account and add your certification number. 

Many CE credits are FREE! Although, some sites have member options where you can join and pay a fee each year to receive unlimited access to continuing education. CE's are made up of online modules, webinars, and podcasts.

Note: Some websites may charge for CE credits. Be sure to explore all options to find the best fit for your needs.​​

Important Points: 
 

  • Proof of Completion: In case of an audit by your certifying organization, it is crucial to save your CE completion certificates. Keep a file with printed materials and a folder on your computer with downloaded certificates.
  • Certification Number: Always ensure you have entered your certification number correctly on the CE websites. This is necessary for credits to be recorded. 
  • Processing Time: After completing a CE course, it can take up to 72 hours for the credits to be reflected in your account. To avoid any issues, PRINT or DOWNLOAD the certificate for your own records immediately after completion.
