CCS

CCS or Certified Coding specialists are professional medical coders who are skilled in classifying medical data from patient records, not only in a hospital setting but also in a variety of other healthcare settings. The CCS credential demonstrates the practitioner’s tested skills in data quality and accuracy along with mastery of coding proficiency.
