CCDS Update: Is your CCDS up to date?

Roughly 100 previous Certified Clinical Documentation Improvement (CCDS) holders failed to recertify in a timely manner, and were recently reclassified as inactive.

CCDS holders need to maintain their certification, earning 30 certified education units (CEU) toward the CCDS every two years on the anniversary of the date on which they passed the exam. For information regarding recertification, click here.

ACDIS membership provides up to 10 of those annually through the following methods:

• Six CEUs for reading the CDI Journal and completing the associated quiz
• Four CEUs for listening to the Quarterly Conference Call and completing the associated survey

CCDS holders are responsible for ensuring their certification is active.

Don’t confuse renewing your ACDIS membership with recertifying your credential.

If you have any questions regarding CCDS and recertification, please email Penny Richards at prichards@acdis.org.
