AAPC exam for Certified Professional

A good practice exam should fully prepare its examinee for the real exam. Knowing what to expect and not being surprised on exam day are important.

AAPC's CPC exam is 150 questions and must be completed in 5 hours and 40 minutes or less.

There are three main sections to the CPC exam:

* Medical Concepts

* Surgery and Modifiers

* Remaining CPT codes

Each of these three sections are then further divided into the following smaller headings.

* 150 Question CPC Practice Test

* Answer Key, With Full Rationale

* Scan Tron Bubble Sheets

* The Exam Study Guide, including:

Common Anatomy Terminology Handouts

Common Medical Terminology Prefix, Root Word, and Suffix Handouts

* The Official AAPC Proctor-to-Examinee Instructions (read out loud on the day of the exam)

AAPC's CPC exam is 150 questions long. Questions range from true and false, to 1-2 sentences, to full-page operative notes.

Questions on the CPC exam do not cover just specific medical codes. Questions can be very diverse, testing the examinee's knowledge on:

* Coding Guidelines

* Understanding of Conventions

* Correct Modifier Use

* Bundling and Global Packages

* Medical Terminology and Gross Anatomy

We have taken into account the wide spectrum of diversity the CPC exam offers and have constructed the questions on our CPC Practice Exam to reflect those on the actual exam as closely as possible.
