How can I get a CDIP certification?

To be eligible for CDIP certification, you must first earn an associate or bachelor's degree. You also need at least three years of clinical documentation integrity experience (CDI) and coursework in medical terminology, and anatomy, and physiology. Those with an AHIMA certification (RHIA, RHIT, CCS, or CCS-P) or a medical degree (RN, MD, or DO) only need two years of experience in CDI. Once you have met the qualifications, you must apply for the exam, pay a fee, schedule to sit the test within four months of acceptance, and pass the exam to earn CDIP certification. The examination and corresponding certificate are only available through the American Health Information Management Association.
