HIMS 2910 - CPC Exam Preparation

8 Credits
This review course is for coders who are interested in taking the American Academy of Professional Coders Certification (AAPC) examination. This course provides an in-depth look at the medical coding process by applying coding guidelines for hospital, outpatient, and physician practice services. Guidelines include ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS coding methodologies. Upon completion of this course, a date is set for the student to take the five-hour and forty minute certified professional coder examination.

The CPC exam may be re-taken yearly in lieu of submission of CEU credits for that year. A passing score must be obtained to fulfill the CEU requirement. All exams must be taken prior to the renewal date.
