BENEFITS FOR DOCTORS AND STAFF
Although there are other organizations that teach clinical documentation in the United States, the AIHCD® program is unique. We take a multi-disciplinary approach. Every member of the health care team needs to speak the same language and it begins with doctors. We believe that sometimes it takes a doctor to teach a doctor and that is why AIHCD® uses physicians to conduct and/or oversee all of our training programs.
THE AIHCD® CERTIFICATION INSTITUTES
AIHCD® adopts and encompasses a broader, more comprehensive educational program that is not limited to coding. We currently offer 3 Certification Institutes:
- Physician Advisor Clinical Documentation Improvement & Integrity (PAC-CDI®)
- Clinical Documentation Improvement & Integrity (C-CDI®)
- Denials & Appeals Management (C-DAM®)
American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA)Approved Courses*

Each module has been approved for (1) continuing education unit(s) for use in fulfilling the continuing education requirements for the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). Granting prior approval from AHIMA does not constitute endorsement of the program content or the program sponsor.
