The Entry-to-Practice (E2P) Medical Coding Micro-Credential is intended for graduates of accredited Health Information Management diploma and degree programs that have confirmed their curriculum teaches the micro-credential learning outcomes. Once graduates of these programs have passed the CHIM National Certification Exam (NCE) and have received their CHIM certification, they can sit for the E2P National Micro-credential Exam (NME). The E2P NME tests candidates on practical coding and abstracting scenarios, confirming they understand the application of the ICD-10-CA/CCI and Canadian Coding Standards at the entry-to-practice level.
