RCC re-certification is due every two years. An RCC may recertify by either retaking the examination or by obtaining continuing education credits (CEU) in radiology coding. For information on re-certification by examination, please refer to the section entitled, "Re-certification By Examination". The rules for submitting a re-certification application using continuing education credits are as follows:

Continuing Education for Re-Certification may be applied from the date of your certification, and must be renewed before the expiration of your current certification. Current certification expires two years from the date you become certified or recertified. It is your responsibility to keep track of your certificate expiration and apply for re-certification accordingly.

Applications for re-certification by continuing education must be received at RCCB® by the postmark or fax deadline listed here. However, applications may be submitted anytime prior to the deadline. Please mail your application to RCCB®, 10300 Eaton Place, Suite 460, Fairfax, VA 22030 via a traceable method such as Federal Express or certified mail or fax to 703.621.3356. Please be aware that the RCCB® Board is not responsible for applications not delivered by the deadline or lost in the mail. Applications that do not arrive by the deadline will not be accepted.

A minimum of 12 CEU credits in RCCB®-accepted radiology coding sessions are required to re-certify by CEUs.

You must submit proof of obtaining 12 RCCB®-accepted CEU credits in radiology coding by submitting copies of the certificates with your application.

The RCCB® Board will review the submitted CEU certificates and has the sole responsibility for making the final decision as to approval.

A certification notice will be mailed to each candidate within 60 days of application submission.
