While Certified Medical Billing Specialist (CMBS) may sound like a legitimate medical coding certification, it is not a recognized certification by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) or the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) which are the two main organizations that provide medical coding certifications. The other options, Certified Coding Associate (CCA), Certified Professional Coder (CPC), and Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) are all valid certifications provided by either AAPC or AHIMA.
