Ohio Health Information Management Association

As a state AHIMA branch, OHIMA no longer needs to apply to the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) for prior CEU approval. All OHIMA CEUs are approved for AAPC CEUS!

According to a statement from Natalie Chin, CPC-A, AAPC CEU Vendor Relations, "As long as the certificate given out to the attendees has OHIMA's logo on it, we will accept them. It can be any AHIMA/OHIMA approved program. Pretty much any event that is sponsored by the national AHIMA office or state branches (OHIMA) will be accepted. It should be coding/billing related, clinical content, compliance content, regulatory content, practice management, etc."

The official AAPC CEU Policy states:

We offer CEU for CEU credit for all AHIMA audio conferences and workshops. We also honor CEUs from AHIMA for online self assessments. A certificate of attendance or completion is necessary to show participation, one hour of instruction is worth 1 CEU. AHIMA CEUs are accepted from programs sponsored by AHIMA national offices and the state AHIMA branches.
OHIMA's 2010 Annual Meeting & Trade Show offers 16.5 AHIMA and AAPC CEUs!
