Earning CEUs with NAMAS

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are a measure used to quantify participation in approved professional development programs or activities. Currently, NAMAS seeks CEUs from AAPC, and NAMAS accepts AAPC CEUs for our own certifications. This prevents our members from having to obtain duplicate credits. 

NAMAS requires CEUs for our certification in an effort to ensure that each auditor's knowledge remains current and on-trend and that vital information is always and consistently reviewed. Due to this certification requirement, NAMAS provides CEU opportunities to our members to minimize this burden. 

NAMAS CEUs Requirements:

  • 12 annual CEUs per certification. CEUs honored are AAPC | AHIMA | AMBA
  • CEU training should closely mirror the area of expertise of the certification. For example, those holding the CEMA should have the majority of their CEUs on E/M topics.
  • CEUs are required per year based on your "Join Date" in your MemberClicks account.
  • Other ways to earn CEUs:
    • 1 NAMAS CEU will be allowed for each article written and published. Enter the information into the NAMAS CEU Tracker, and in the "Description" box, include a link to the article. 
    • 1 NAMAS CEU will be allowed for each hour of presentation time. Enter the information into the NAMAS CEU Tracker, and in the "Description" box, include a link to the agenda.
    • Recertify: Challenge yourself to retake the certification exam for your credentials. Recertifying counts for all CEUs in full.
    • Certify: Embrace a new credential. Earn a new credential and provide this information to NAMAS in the CEU tracker. This will satisfy renewal CEUs for the current year. 
  • CEUs do NOT roll over, and those accrued during one certification period cannot be used to satisfy another certification period. 

Managing Your CEUs:

NAMAS now has tracking enabled to assist in monitoring your CEUs. We are working hard to populate the CEUs previously submitted, but in the meantime, please begin to manage your CEUs here.
