Offer ACDIS Continuing Education Units (CEU) With Your Education

Organizations have the opportunity to provide ACDIS CEUs with their educational activities that offer training and education on CDI-related topics such as ICD-10, clinical disease or diagnosis, disease process, coding, documentation improvement activities, related technology, DRG, reimbursement, anatomy and physiology, or diagnosis/pathophysiology education. The following requirements apply:

  • Applications for ACDIS CEUs must be submitted at least 30 days in advance of all training and education programs. 
  • Any fees due must be paid before the education is offered.
  • CEUs will be issued on a one-hour-equals-one-CEU basis.
    • CEUs are not issued for welcoming and opening remarks, breaks, or informal discussions outside the training session. 
    • Sessions must be a minimum of one hour in length. Fractions of hours over one hour are accepted (e.g. a 1 ½ hour program). 
  • ACDIS will not award CEUs for activities with significant commercial bias. ACDIS reserves the right to determine at its sole discretion what constitutes significant commercial bias.  
  • If you wish to record a live event, replay it at a later time, and offer the same CEUs with the replay, you must indicate this by answering yes to the following question in Section 4: “Do you intend to record this presentation/event and replay it at a later time?”
    • There is no additional fee for this if you specify it in your initial application. The replay must occur within one year of the original event.
    • If you specify it after ACDIS has approved the application, ACDIS will consider the replay of the recording(s) to be a separate event, and you will be subject to the full CEU fee for this new event.

Appeals process for denied applications

Should your application be denied, you have the right to appeal this denial by providing additional evidence for ACDIS to consider. Once ACDIS has provided notice of the denial, you may compile any relevant information, such as the materials for the presentation, speaker notes, etc. and submit them for re-review. You must also provide a statement explaining why your activity qualifies for ACDIS credit and how the additional information you provided illustrates that. Please submit materials and your statement to Karla Kozak at karla.kozak@hcpro.com. Appeals without both additional information and an explanatory statement will not be accepted. Denied applications may be appealed only once, and ACDIS reserves the right to deny any applications it feels do not meet the standards outlined above.
