It will not qualify you to take the AHIMA CCS or enable you to pass it. It is only the CPC.

You should not expect the Tarrant RHIT program to enable you to pass the CCS. It qualifies you to take it, but only teaches to the CCA level. In some areas it can be difficult to get a first coding job with only an RHIT. Internet forums are full of unemployed RHITs.
