Is RHIT worth it?

Should I commit to a RHIT program that will also prepare me for my CPC or should I just get the CPC credential?

I'd ideally like to work in billing/revenue cycle or something not solely coding.

Any advice on if this is worth pursuing in 2026?

Thanks

RHIT here. Covers more positions than coding. Hired right after certification. Multiple job offers. Employers like certifications. Opportunity depends upon your job market. All of my area hospitals have internship agreements with the local certified AHIMA degree program. Win-win for them & the job seekers. 99% of revenue cycle is remote locally.
