CCS (Certified Coding Specialist) examination--year 2 results.
Candidate performance on the 1993 CCS examination is very comparable with performance on the 1992 examination. While there was a slightly higher rate of passing on the 1993 examination, it is believed this is due to more potential candidates understanding the specialized nature of the examination and self-evaluating their preparedness. Consistent results across time are important to demonstrate the reliability and validity of the certification program. AHIMA strongly supports the coding specialization, and believes it is important to maintain standards of excellence in order to have the CCS credential convey to the public the value of the coding skill it recognizes.
