I am a CHIM professional that is in a registration role. Should I move to the HICA designation?

If your intention is to continue to work in a registration role and not pursue a role that may require the CHIM designation in the future, it may be in your best interest to pursue the HICA designation. If, in the future, you would like to pursue roles in medical coding, data analytics, leadership, and management, then it would be in your best interest to remain a CHIM professional. These competencies are represented in the CHIM certification.
