ATLANTA, Ga.— The American Association of Provider Compensation Professionals (AAPCP) is excited to announce the launch of the Certified Provider Compensation Valuator (CPCV) credential. This certification is specifically designed to equip healthcare compensation professionals with the expertise required to navigate the growing complexities of provider compensation in healthcare organizations. Developed with support from key industry experts, including Richard Romero, CVA, ABV, FHFMA, PAHM, a Coker Senior Vice President and member of the CPCV credential committee, the CPCV credential sets a new standard in data-informed valuation, compensation strategy, and compliance.

In response to rising regulatory demands and market competition, the CPCV credential addresses the essential need for specialized knowledge in provider compensation valuation, enabling organizations to build compensation structures that align with strategic and compliance objectives. By introducing this credential, AAPCP and its collaborators are empowering healthcare professionals to enhance organizational leadership in fair market value compliance.

In conjunction with this launch, AAPCP will be hosting a webinar on November 6, 2024, to provide an in-depth look at the CPCV credential, its benefits for healthcare organizations, and how professionals can achieve certification.

"This certification enables professionals across the provider compensation spectrum to contribute more effectively to fair and compliant compensation models, supporting healthcare organizations in their mission to deliver quality care."
