CodingCertification.Org is owned and managed by Laureen Jandroep, CPC, CPC-I who is also Sr. Instructor. The mission of CodingCertification.Org is to help new and seasoned coders with their certification education – first to get certified then to maintain certification.

This is done via articles, videos and practice questions many of which are freely available through out the site. Some are paid products like our popular Coding Certification Review Blitz and CEU On Demand Classes and Physician Based Coding Course. We have a new discussion board where aspiring coders can ask their questions about getting certified and one where certified coders can discuss ways they’ve maintained their CEUs for their respective credential.
