Recently, I got an inquiry from a new Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist (CCDS) holder who wanted to know what she’ll need to do to recertify. Answering her questions allots me the opportunity to share some tips with readers and refresh everyone on the process.
I hope this is helpful. If you have more questions, please visit the recertification pages for the CCDS and CCDS-O on the ACDIS website for instructions, the application, and list of items accepted as CEUs. And, as always, feel free to reach out to me with any unanswered questions.
DISCLAIMER Advice given is general, and readers should consult professional counsel for specific legal, ethical, or clinical questions. Users of this service should consult attorneys who are familiar with federal and state health laws.
