Online CPC Preparation Courses

The Certified Professional Coder (CPC) is issued by AAPC and focuses on physician-office and outpatient professional-fee coding. A course that prepares for the CPC teaches the knowledge; the credential itself is awarded only after you pass AAPC’s exam and meet AAPC’s requirements.

Certified Professional Coder (CPC)

Issuing organization
AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders) · official site
Intended audience
Not confirmed from an official page
Current eligibility requirements
  • Must be an AAPC member before scheduling the exam (search snippet of official page; paraphrase) (source)
  • No letters of recommendation needed to sit the exam; exam is difficult and not meant for people with little or no coding experience (AAPC FAQ snippet) (source)
Apprentice designation
Passing the exam earns CPC-A; the A is removed after meeting a 2-year experience requirement shown via two signed letters of recommendation (one from employer on letterhead). Completing the AAPC CPC Preparation course (80 contact hours) waives 1 year; Practicode (all 3 modules at 70%+) counts for 1 year. Source snippets dated; AAPC discussion thread also hints the A designation may have been eliminated - MUST confirm on current AAPC page. (source)
Exam format
100 multiple-choice questions, 4 hours, proctored, open book (approved code books), 70% to pass (snippets of AAPC pages; older AAPC PDF lists 150 questions / 5h40m, dated) (source)
Exam fee
official page blocked, not confirmed (an AAPC FAQ lists student exam pricing 1 attempt $325, 2 attempts $425; standard price not found) (source)

Beginner training versus exam review

2 of the 107 programs for this exam are advanced exam preparation, intended for people who already work in coding or billing. They are filed under “Advanced exam preparation” and are not presented as beginner career programs.

Vouchers and memberships

Of 107 programs that state CPC preparation, 67 state that a CPC exam voucher is included and 39 state that a membership is included. A voucher pays for an exam attempt; it does not make you eligible and does not guarantee a pass. The number of included attempts is shown only where the provider publishes it; “not confirmed” is not “no”.

Published tuition among these programs ranges from $1,400 to $13,250 (58 with a published price).
