The American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) has rules in place regarding how their credential holders can garner CEUs in order to maintain their certification. AAPC credential holders can earn 0.5 CEUs by passing a 5-question quiz from their Part B News Newsletter, i.e., they can earn up to 12 CEUs per year. Here is how the process work for the Part B News subscriber:

1. Subscriber will log-in to Part B News site and go to the "CEUs" tab on the top header of the home page.
2. On the CEUs page is a link to the Part B News CEU Center. Subscriber will click on that link in order to take a quiz for eligible issues. This link will take the subscriber to the DecisionHealth Online Quiz System.
3. Subscriber will log-in to the Online Quiz system with the user ID and password used on the Part B News site.
4. Subscriber will click on the link of the quiz that the subscriber wants to take. For example, the link will say "CEU Quiz for May 9, 2026."
5. Subscriber will take the five-question quiz. Once the subscriber clicks on the "Submit Quiz" button, the computer will automatically grade the subscriber's quiz. If the subscriber passes the quiz, a certificate of completion (complete with the appropriate AAPC Index Number) will be emailed to the email address that the subscriber has provided. If the subscriber does not pass the quiz, the computer will allow the subscriber to retake the quiz again. Per AAPC's requirements, AAPC must pass the quiz with a 70% grade or higher in order to earn CEUs.
