You have a CPB date. Hold it. Between now and then: 465 questions with every option explained, three timed practice exams of 100 questions, a 12-day plan and a 25-question diagnostic. No login, no expiry.
We built this the way a revenue cycle manager trains a new biller, not the way a shelf gets filled. AAPC gives you 135 questions and four hours, open book, and all 135 are scored. Ten of them are coding questions. The exam tests the money: case analysis at 34 questions, types of insurance at 29, reimbursement and collections at 19. Claims and billing takes 19, billing regulations 17, HIPAA and compliance 7. Your twelve days follow that shape. Check us against AAPC's published content outline, line by line. We would rather you did.
What's inside
The Claim-to-Cash Path. Five moves for any billing scenario: verify, capture, submit, resolve, collect. Eligibility at the front desk through to the last patient statement.
Twelve days cut to the content outline. Two days on insurance types, two on claims and billing, two on reimbursement and collections. A capstone day works the case-analysis documents.
465 original questions, every option explained. You'll find the reason the right answer is right, and the reason each of the other three fails.
Three timed practice exams of 100 questions, spread across all seven domains. A scored review after each points you back at the pages behind your misses.
The CMS-1500 and the denial behind it. What belongs in the fields that get claims rejected, how to read a remittance, and how to pick the appeal level.
Printable reference cards: the Claim-to-Cash Path, insurance types, the key CMS-1500 boxes, RBRVS, the ABN, and HIPAA on one page. Perhaps the last billing book you opened was a glossary of payer names. Give it three evenings. If the diagnostic cannot name the domain that is soft, put it down. An hour is all it cost.
It lands with three people. A biller going for a first credential, because the job posting asks for the letters. A coder with the CPC adding the billing side. A practice manager who runs the revenue cycle and now wants it on paper. If coordination of benefits is already your day job, start at Day 4.
Day 11 is the long one. Case analysis pulls every earlier day back through a real source document, as 34 exam questions do. Downloaded once, yours to keep.
