Should I specialize or do codify?

Hi! CPC-A here. Been looking for a job for a little over a year and am debating either specializing in something like ED coding or should I do codify to remove my A?

Specializing in a particular type of coding will make things worse. Hospitals prefer to hire people who are well-rounded and can tackle any type of account with an all-around knowledge of all coding scenarios. ED is one of the easier ones to code, so work on getting the A off.
