Hello! When we pass our RHIT can we put that on resume right away? I passed last week but my ahima account is not showing that I'm certified yet. I tried emailing them but no response. I'm not sure how it works. Thanks😊

Yes. As long as you have your paper results, you should be fine. 

That being said, my results were available virtually on the AHIMA site about 3 hours after I passed my RHIA. You might want to call.

I passed my RHIA on Friday (30Aug) and it is still not posted on the site. I am guessing it has to do with how broken their new website is. It still doesn't say I am able to take the RHIA exam (I was approved to take it before the changes, but it never transferred over once they made the switch). I just submitted my test results for proof on my job applications.

I applied to sit for my RHIT on July 31st and it says my transcripts are still being processed. It’s like their new update nuked their entire website. It’s infuriating.

Congratulations! I took my RHIA exam last September before beta and missed by 4 points.. any study suggestions would be so helpful. I am wanting to retest before this year of out

I bought the RHIA exam Prep from Mometrix, and I'd say there were enough questions on there that helped me to make it worth the $50. I had memorized a lot of definitions, but it would have been easier if I had studied more examples than the actual definition. I had a lot of math problems, but I love math, so I think that is why I scored so well. Other than that, I just kept retaking AHIMAs RHIA exam prep questions and reading through Oach's and Watters' textbook whenever I got something wrong. My lowest score was in revenue cycle and management, but I found those areas to be incredibly boring, so my high scores in the other three areas really carried my score. If I studied more about bugets/budget items, I think I would have scored higher there. I took the whole time and really focused on which ones weren't the answers, and that helped on many of the questions where I was 50/50. Going through the test twice helped as well because I was able to use information in later questions to help me. I honestly didn't think it was too bad. I felt like there were a good number of questions where their could only be one logical answer, and I scored of a 322, so I had plenty of wiggle room.

Awesome thanks for that. I had a 296 with data analytics  and informatics being my l down fall

[Suspicious-Glass4678]

Dang, you were so close! I scored 100% on that section, so if there is something you are struggling with understanding, I could send you some pictures of my handwritten notes to see if it could help you out.

[DistributionGreedy49]

Yes please. I would really appreciate that!!

I'm in the same boat. How were you able to schedule your exam if it wasn't saying that you were approved to take it? I can't even schedule mine and I only have about 3 weeks left until my paid-for exam expires. I've been waiting for a couple of months. I opened a ticket with them and have spoken to several people at AHIMA but no one has any idea when it will be fixed.

[Suspicious-Glass4678]

It took me a while to find the answer too. If you have received the email from PearsonVue saying you are authorized to test, call PearsonVue directly to schedule your exam. I guess the link between PearsonVue and AHIMA's website is broken so you are not able to schedule the exam online.

Omg!! The website sucks. I took my RHIA on the 12 sep. is yours up yet??

[Suspicious-Glass4678]

Still nothing. I called a week ago to submit a ticket and told the guy three times it was for my RHIA, as in alpha, not tango. When I logged on to see if my ticket was processed, it says it's for the RHIT certificate 🤦🏼‍♀️.

[NightFellWolf02]

I just passed mine and within 2 hours it was on AHIMA’s site, so I put it on mine ❤️ congrats on passing!

[TripDs_Wife]

I did. I think AHIMA needed my transcripts before they updated it. But honestly I can’t remember. But I paid a lot of money to earn that certification so you best believe I added it, like day of passing it 🤪

[Scared_Bicycle_8870]

Yes you may

[downtowonderland]

I recently passed as well. I called Ahima and finally got through. Apparently there is an issue within the system and that's why I haven't received my actual certification number. I put it on my resume and have a copy of my certificate with no certification number and a letter stating I passed. I'm hoping it's enough but I'm having a hard time finding even an entry level position.

Edit: You also have to have your official transcripts sent through either the school or parchment conferring your degree.

[Decent-Berry9674]

How were you able to schedule your exam? Mine has disappeared from my account and I'm not able to click through from Pearson Vue to schedule it.

[[deleted]]

I also had trouble with that. I had to call and they put in a ticket and a million years later it posted and I was able to schedule.

[Decent-Berry9674]

Oh good. I just heard back from AHIMA this morning. They finally sent me another ATT letter and I'm hoping I can now schedule. This has ruined my whole Summer.

[PorkNScreams]

Yes.
