Overview
If CEUs or documentation are required for reinstatement, follow the instructions in your reinstatement email.
Submit a Reinstatement Request: Begin by submitting the "Credential Reinstatement Request" through your AAPC account. You will receive an email with specific instructions for completing the process.
Wait for Instructions: CEUs and payments are not required during the review phase. Once your request is approved, you will receive a reinstatement email detailing the next steps.
Complete Requirements: Follow the instructions in the reinstatement email to pay fees and submit any required CEUs by the stated deadline.
You may be asked to submit CEU documentation, complete missing CEU requirements, provide proof of completion, or supply additional account-specific documentation before reinstatement can be finalized.
Before You Submit
Before submitting CEUs or documentation:
Review your reinstatement email carefully.
Confirm what documents are being requested.
Keep copies of all CEU certificates, completion records, or supporting documentation.
Reply to the reinstatement email when instructed.
Do not assume CEUs are complete until AAPC confirms the requirement has been satisfied.
CEUs cannot be submitted until reinstatement instructions are received. Retain certificates for submission later.
Can I Keep Working on CEUs During Reinstatement?
Yes, if CEUs are required as part of your reinstatement, follow the instructions provided in your reinstatement email. You may begin earning CEUs at any time, but submission must wait until you receive reinstatement instructions.
Your reinstatement communication will explain what is needed and how to submit it.
What If My CEUs Were Rejected or Declined?
If CEUs were rejected, declined, or marked incomplete, review the communication sent to you. The message should explain what is missing, what needs correction, or what additional documentation is required.
