ST. PAUL, Minn. - (Business Wire) Medical Learning, Inc. (MedLearn) has been selected to participate in the new Certified Interventional Radiology Cardiovascular Coder
™ (CIRCC) national credentialing program offered by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC).
CIRCC is the only certification of its kind; it signifies that the individual has achieved a high level of proficiency in interventional radiology and cardiovascular coding.
CIRCC applications must successfully complete a five-and-a-half-hour, 150-question exam which measures real-life coding knowledge. The AAPC began administering the exam October 1 at sites across the country. MedLearn is one of three organizations chosen to supply training and proctors for the exams.
MedLearn offers a variety of interventional radiology and cardiovascular coding resources, including books, live seminars, audio seminars and an "e-zine" of coded case studies, to help applicants prepare for the CIRCC exam.
"For many years, MedLearn has been on the forefront of interventional radiology and cardiovascular coding, compliance and reimbursement. This is reflected in the fact that our customers have ordered more copies of our Interventional Radiology Coder book than any other product since MedLearn's founding," states MedLearn President Mike Rogge. "We are excited about this opportunity to share our in-depth knowledge with CIRCC applicants."
