This! I am 52 and starting my journey for my CPC. I am hoping to test this summer. I want to be able to be productive and still keep my brain engaged until after my retirement age. AGE is just a number! :-)

Can you do patient billing without being certified?

[@AAPCHealthCare]

Yes, if you can find an employer that will hire without certification. Most prefer certified billing and coding staff, but it's not always the case.

I'm 32 years old. Is there age limit to do this course?

[@AAPCHealthCare]

There is not. Our students have range from 15 years old to 50+.
