Congrats! I took my CPC cert exam on 05/31 and passed. That was my second try. Honestly, I didn't really study that hard. Just took all the practice exams. Took it at home so I didn't have to drive to the testing center. Working now through the Practicode to remove the apprenticeship. I did mine within 2 months on my own directly with AAPC. They only give you 5 months to complete the course but you have a year to take your certification exam.

Hi how much was the course fee?

[@andrep93]

Just took my exam and passed! Thank you so much for your tips and for pointing out those study videos too! They were so incredibly helpful!

[@brittneyjohnson8942]

Can you show how you tabbed your ice -10 & CPT BOOK

[@arianamonk840]

Im debating on CPC or CCS so this was very helpful! Thank you!

[@itsShay_duh504]

I’m currently sitting in the parking lot awaiting to take my CPC exam, you can use the previous year books to test for the current year…2023/2024 books for 2024 etc.

[@TiearraLee]

Thank you so much for this info 🥹😘 You're a blessing 🙏🏿

[@IncreDEEibleNews]

I second that! Please can you show us how you tabbed your books to help you get through the books quicker.

[@jencrider4128]

Hi Adelaide, I'm glad I watched your video about Hoang Nguyen. His video is excellent. Thank you for sharing.

thank you

$1500!? I’m paying (well my mom is) almost 5k without the books! Through community college tho🤷🏻‍♀️.

[@TheExWife]

I paid roughly around $3k that includes the books, membership with AAPC, and two attempts for the exam. I think that was a bargain. This was directly with the AAPC. Also, I paid for the practicode which is a set of 600 case studies that you code to help remove the A from the CPC.

[@IamShanRich]

Hi thanks so much for sharing, do the books come with course or that’s a separate fee ? Thanks

[@likeag945]

What course did you take prior to this your exam ? And where was it online. Which certificate would you recommend for someone entering into medical coding field.

[@pennycsingh5427]

Hi there. Can you let us know what coding program you used please?

[@jamesjengasan1268]

A diagnosis code for getting kicked by a horse took me out 😂

[@ilovemylife321]

Hi!! Im so glad I found you on here! So I have a question for you.. As someone who has no experience in this stuff what so ever, no medical or anatomy experience, what course would you recommend then? I have been looking into preppy, still on the fence about it, and then I was looking into Penn Foster too.. I want a course I can do on my own pace, not like a scheduled community college, yanno? I just want to talk to someone who's in the field who can give insight to which program looks better. im nervous dude lol

[@kristyduncan8415]

Preppy is self paced

[@user-ot2yf2po4k]

1500?? mine said $2600 with 50% off but still managed to almost be $10,000..

[@user-zk8ck3my3l]

Through a college? Mine was $1500-self-paced, online, accredited through Preppy. Then I just pay to take the AAPC exam. I got my transcript and certification in the mail from Auburn University.
