Frequently Asked Questions
The RHIT (Registered Health Information Technician) credential is awarded by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). It validates competence in managing health records — including EHR systems, ICD-10-CM/PCS coding, HIPAA compliance, data integrity, and health information governance. AHIMA also offers the higher-level RHIA and CCS credentials.
The Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT) is issued by the AHIMA. It is recognized by healthcare employers nationwide as a valid credential demonstrating competence in the Health Information Technology role.
No. Our course is exam-preparation training — it covers the cognitive content you need to pass. The certification exam itself is administered and priced separately by the AHIMA. We provide guidance on registering for the exam when you complete the course.
AHIMA RHIT certification eligibility requires graduation from a CAHIIM-accredited Health Information Technology program. Our online didactic course is exam-preparation content covering RHIT exam topics; it is NOT a CAHIIM-accredited program. Pair this course with a CAHIIM-accredited associate-degree program (typically community college) to qualify for the RHIT.
Most students complete the Health Information Technology program in 4 to 8 months. The course is self-paced, so you can finish faster or take longer depending on your schedule.
Yes — some states (notably California, Florida, and Texas) have state-specific scope-of-practice rules or registration requirements for Health Information Technologys. Our national curriculum prepares you for the AHIMA exam, but you should confirm any additional state requirements with your state's regulatory body before practicing.
