As
members of the healthcare industry, we find ourselves quite frequently
combatting professional challenges regarding legislation, patient
disparities, technological trends and insurance negotiations. Yet, less
frequently do we have the chance to challenge ourselves on a more
personal level. This is where the CRCE exam comes into play. This exam
can be described as exciting, extensive and intimidating, which is
exactly why it can be considered a challenge. Unique to the CRCE exam
format, the writing portion allows you to apply your previous experience
to craft your answer. This is an opportunity to recall previous
experiences and build off them to apply them to the current state of the
revenue cycle. To understand the executive and special nature of this
challenge, speak to someone who has previously taken the CRCE (or feel
free to contact me). You will notice a certain dedication and sense of
accomplishment that prospective candidates and those who gained the
certification feel towards the exam. Take the executive challenge for an
executive result!
