Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC®)

A Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC®) is a specialized medical coding professional with expertise in accurately coding inpatient hospital services. This globally recognized certification is offered by the AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders) and is considered the industry standard for coders working in acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, and inpatient rehabilitation centers.

At Clouds N Codes (CNC), we offer a comprehensive and industry-aligned CIC® Training Program designed to prepare students for the CIC® certification exam and equip them with the advanced skills required for inpatient medical coding.

What is CIC® Certification?

CIC® professionals are responsible for assigning accurate medical codes for inpatient diagnoses and procedures using standardized coding systems such as:

  • ICD-10-CM
