Course Description

This review course is for coders who are interested in taking the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) Certification-Hospital examination (CPC-H). The 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-9-CM, CPT, and HCPCS coding methodologies. Students receive a pass or fail grade. Upon completion of this course, a date is set for students to take the five-hour and forty minute examination. NOTE: To maintain accreditation as a CPC-H, the American Academy of Professional Coders requires completion of 36 continuing education units (CEUs) every two years. To maintain double core certification (CPC, CPC-H), the AAPC requires 48 CEU credits every two years. The CPC-H 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. You must be a member in good standing with AAPC.
