AAPC

At AAPC, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing the business of healthcare through pioneering educational and credentialing solutions. Since our inception in 1988 as the American Academy of Professional Coders, our mission has been to elevate the standards of the healthcare revenue cycle. We began by providing critical education and certification for medical coders in physician-based settings, establishing a new benchmark for professionalism and accuracy in a paper-dominated industry. As the healthcare landscape has been reshaped by digital transformation and complex regulations, we have consistently innovated to meet the evolving demands. Our evolution from a focus solely on coding to embracing the entire spectrum of healthcare administration—including billing, auditing, compliance, and practice management—demonstrates our commitment to comprehensive, forward-thinking solutions.

Through groundbreaking technology and a dedication to continuous advancement, we empower our global network of over 275,000 members to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare with confidence and expertise. We have developed a sophisticated suite of tools and platforms, such as our AI-powered auditing software and the Codify platform, to streamline workflows, enhance accuracy, and optimize revenue cycle management for healthcare organizations worldwide. Our acquisition of Semantic Health underscores our investment in artificial intelligence to drive efficiency and precision in medical auditing. By offering a diverse range of certifications, from the foundational Certified Professional Coder (CPC®) to specialized credentials in risk adjustment and compliance, we are not just reacting to industry changes; we are proactively shaping the future of healthcare business operations, ensuring our members and partners are always equipped with the most advanced knowledge and cutting-edge tools to lead and succeed.
