Medical Coding Certification Prep Course

This six-week course is designed to prepare the participants to take the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam. Each area evaluated by the CPC Exam is reviewed through a tour of the CPC Examination Study Guide, available in the Assumption College Bookstore.

Participants must have coding experience and/or previous classroom instruction as well as access to current copies of CPT, ICD9 and HCPCS coding manuals. This course would not be appropriate for someone who has no previous coding experience or classroom instruction.

Sample questions are assigned and analyzed during each session. Practical tips and strategies for taking the exam are discussed. The class concludes with a 150-question take-home exam that is similar in form and content to the CPC exam.

Dates/Time: Wednesdays, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., January 23 - February 27, 2008
Spring 2009 Dates TBA
