Certified Professional Coding (CPC) refers to a certification for medical coding professionals offered by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC). Medical coding involves the transformation of healthcare diagnoses, procedures, medical services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes.

The CPC certification demonstrates a coder's proficiency in accurately assigning these codes according to official coding guidelines and healthcare regulations. To obtain the CPC certification, individuals typically undergo training and pass an examination administered by the AAPC. This certification is highly regarded in the healthcare industry and can lead to career advancement opportunities for medical coding professionals.
