RHIT
Certification Exam Reimbursement Program Application Starting October 1, 2011, SCHIMA will begin accepting for
review applications for reimbursement of RHIT exam fees from new professionals graduating on or after July 1, 2011 who have successfully passed the
RHIT exam.
(Graduates from 2009 and prior years were eligible for the SCHIMA
Certification Exam Scholarship Program this program replaced. Each reimbursement cycle is open only to
that year’s graduates – i.e., Class of 2010 graduates were eligible during
the SCHIMA 2010-2011 Board Year cycle.
Class of 2011 will be eligible to apply for the 2011-2012 SCHIMA Board
Year Cycle described below.) To be eligible for consideration, applicants must: ·
Be current STUDENT, GRAD or ACTIVE members of AHIMA and ·
Have SCHIMA as their Component State Association (CSA) and ·
Graduate from a SC-based, CAHIIM-accredited HIM/T Program on or
after July 1, 2011 and ·
NOT be eligible for reimbursement for their exam fees from any
other source and ·
Submit a legible, authentic, complete application with all
required attachments (see application
for instructions) via US Mail postmarked between October 1, 2011 and May 1, 2012 Awards up the 100% of the PAID certification exam fee may be
issued to individuals who successfully submit complete applications meeting
all criteria for reimbursement on a first-come, first-served basis (as
evidenced by the application postmark) until all funds for the program are
exhausted for the year. Application
for exam fee reimbursement does NOT
guarantee award. Applicants must not be eligible for
reimbursement of certification exam fees from any other source. Employers, public and
private agencies, and other third parties are not eligible to receive
reimbursement for exam fee payment. For the Class of 2010, a total of $1,145
in RHIT exam fee reimbursement was awarded to five (5) new RHITs. Awards each year will
vary based on the amount of funding available for distribution, but we
anticipate no less than five to be awarded each year. Class of 2010 RHIT Certification Exam
