History and Development of this Institute

Lynn has been a medical coder since 1987 and started out in 2003 educating physicians and their staff. For years, Lynn offered classes to certified coders to further educate themselves. In 2006, Lynn saw the need for coders in this fast-growing industry, therefore connected with the AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders), to teach their curriculum.
