Continuing Education Units (CEUs) help maintain your AAPC credentials and demonstrate ongoing professional development.

The CEU Tracker allows you to record, manage, and submit eligible CEUs for review and certification maintenance.

CEUs must be submitted by the due date associated with your current certification cycle.

Submission typically becomes available shortly before your cycle ends.

If you enter CEUs before the submission window opens, they may appear in your tracker but cannot be officially submitted until the submission period becomes available.

Always review the due date displayed in your account.

Earn CEUs through educational activities that meet AAPC requirements.

Enter the requested information for each CEU activity.

You may be asked to provide:

depending on the CEU type.

Once your required CEUs have been entered and your submission period is available, submit your CEU tracker for review.

Common reasons include:

The required number of CEUs has not yet been entered.

Your submission period has not yet opened.

If your tracker has already been submitted and is under review, additional changes may be restricted until the review is complete.

Some CEU entries require supporting information before they can be submitted successfully.

If CEUs that should have appeared automatically are missing from your tracker, contact AAPC Support for assistance.

Have any available certificates or completion records ready when requesting help.

If an incorrect document was attached to a CEU submission, follow the instructions provided during the review or verification process to request correction.

Your CEU requirements are displayed within your account and may vary depending on the credentials you hold.

Always rely on the CEU requirements shown in your tracker.

Excess CEUs generally do not carry over into a future certification cycle.

Focus on meeting the requirements associated with your current cycle.

Only CEUs completed during the accepted timeframe for your current certification cycle may count toward that cycle's requirements.

Review your tracker carefully before removing or modifying previously entered CEUs.
