Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": Efficiency.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) is the organization in the U.S. in charge of certifying administrative workers of the healthcare system such as billers, coders, and practice managers. The certifications the AAPC provides are medical coding, medical auditing, physician practice management, just to mention a few.

Within its code, the AAPC establishes five (5) principles of professional conduct which are integrity, respect, commitment, competence, and fairness. Efficiency is not one of them.
