I did research on the testing portion first. I emailed and called asking questions regarding using notes as I have extreme testing anxiety. I was told by both that notes were acceptable. I signed up for 3 courses. Medical terminology was fine. Medical billing was another story. The lessons go quick and the coding portion lacks a ton of information. I was getting ready to take the test and then found out the requirements. I ended up not testing as I didn’t have the room they required or a non computer web cam. You’d think you were learning state secrets! No close testing site and you can’t use anything. This isn’t real life, in reality you can use as many notes as possible I would not recommend using this, if I choose to do it again I would go with a different program as this was a waste of my time and money If you have issues emailing the proctor is the only way and then you wait until they feel like getting back to you with non answers

I finish my CPC class on 07/21. They scheduled me for 2 different classes to start on 07/21 one was LVT and the other was for the job ready program. I called them to see what can be done because I can’t start new classes the same time and day while I’m still finishing my last class for the CPC. The First Lady I spoke to helped and canceled the LVT class told me to reach out once I’m ready great! After I realized they scheduled an additional class for the same day I reached out the next day and this lady said she had to reach out and she would get back to that it shouldn’t be a problem. Later that day she reached out only to tell me they will not cancel it. That I can’t take it at my own paste with my starting date 07/21( again still in my Cpc class). I paid a little over $5,000 way too much for this type of stuff to be happening. Regardless if I can take it at my own paste or not that day shouldn’t have started until the CPC class was completely OVER! I was told they usually don’t schedule those classes until a couple of weeks after you finish the CPC class and they didn’t. Very disappointing I don’t recommend going here.

I have been a loyal AAPC member for more than 10 years, but my recent experience as a volunteer officer has completely broken my trust in this organization. I stepped up to serve our community as the Member Development Officer for my local chapter (Mobile, AL), investing my personal time, skills, and energy to support the membership base. I fulfilled all of my officer duties perfectly. Unfortunately, our local chapter was shut down, and a final bank statement was submitted late during the dissolution process, AAPC has completely denied my earned volunteer rewards. I had absolutely no control over the financial reporting or the closure logistics. Penalizing individual volunteers who met every requirement because of a separate administrative delay is a terrible, corporate way to treat a loyal membership base. Internal appeals to Chapter Support were met with rigid, unhelpful denials. If you are considering volunteering your time as an AAPC chapter officer, be warned: they will gladly take your free labor, but they will not hesitate to penalize you for administrative issues outside your control.

I had a great time at Healthcon! AAPC went over and above to ensure networking opportunities were available for all! Plan to attend the next conference.

I've been an AAPC member for many years, and it has played a significant role in my professional growth. The member benefits, including endless (many of them free) educational resources, certification support, and continuing education opportunities, are well worth the investment. The connections I've made through my Local Chapter and National events have opened doors and helped me advance my career beyond what I had ever imagined possible! The whole community is incredibly supportive and welcoming. I really appreciate the willingness of members to share their expertise and support one another.

AAPC has truly been everything I didn’t realize I was missing in my life—corny, but absolutely true! As an RN with over 30 years of experience, I began a new chapter five years ago when I entered the world of CDI. That transition changed everything. Joining AAPC opened the door to a community rooted in education, support, empowerment, and meaningful, lifelong connections. I currently serve as Chapter President of my local chapter and have witnessed firsthand the positive impact AAPC has on its members. It is an organization that genuinely cares about supporting individual growth and success. I’ve been fortunate to serve on the Chapter Advisory Board, present at HealthCon, and graduate from the Emerging Leaders Program, experiences that have strengthened me both professionally and personally. Thanks to the incredible support system within AAPC, I’ve grown into a more confident and empowered speaker and leader. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities AAPC has provided over the years and look forward to what the future holds.

As someone deeply involved in the industry, I’ve been consistently impressed by how authentic and member-focused AAPC is. Serving on the National Advisory Board has been one of the greatest privileges of my career, and the existence of the Board makes it clear they truly care about the member experience and continuous improvement—they actively listen and translate input into meaningful action. The professional community AAPC fosters is unparalleled, creating valuable opportunities to connect, learn, and grow. Their HEALTHCON conference is one of the most well-executed and economical events I attend - and I attend many. It consistently delivers high-quality content, strong operational excellence, and real value for the investment, making it a must-attend each year. Overall, AAPC sets a high bar for both professional development and member engagement.

Had a wonderful time at HEALTHCON, their national conference. The event was well organized. Food was good. The after hours events were a lot of fun.
