About this ebook

You have a CPC date. Hold it. Between now and then: 600 questions with every option explained, two full-length practice exams at the exam's own 100 questions. Then a 14-day plan opening on a 30-question diagnostic. No login, no expiry.

We built this the way a coding instructor runs a class, not the way a shelf gets filled. AAPC gives you 100 questions and four hours, with your CPT, ICD-10-CM and HCPCS manuals open. Every one of those hundred is scored. Open book sounds like mercy. It is not. The exam asks how fast you can apply a guideline correctly, not what you memorised. That is what fourteen days train: one fixed route through a question, run until it needs no thought. Check us against AAPC's published content outline, section by section. We would rather you did.

What's inside

The Code Path. Abstract the encounter, read the guideline before the code, assign, verify. Four moves on every hard question, so an unfamiliar scenario still has a first step.

Fourteen days across the whole physician-side book. ICD-10-CM over two days, E/M and medical decision making over two, surgery over three. Then radiology, pathology, medicine, modifiers, HCPCS Level II and compliance.

600 original questions, every option explained. You'll see the governing rule named in each answer, and why the wrong options lose on that same rule.

Two full-length practice tests of 100 questions, each run in two timed halves so a long paper fits a working week. A scored review sends you back to the guideline behind each miss.

Guidelines and conventions, drilled. Excludes1 against Excludes2, neoplasm and diabetes sequencing, the global surgical package, the separate-procedure rule, and the highest-scoring modifiers.

Printable reference cards: the Code Path, ICD-10-CM conventions, the medical decision making grid, the high-yield modifiers, and a compliance sheet. Perhaps the last CPC book you bought assumed you could already work a manual under a clock. Give it three evenings. If the diagnostic tells you nothing about where you actually stand, put it down. An hour is all it cost.

Three people get the most from it. A student finishing a coding program. A biller or front-office worker moving into coding. Someone who ran out of clock rather than knowledge. If you code every day and only want speed, start at Day 11.

Day 9 is the heavy one. Urinary, genital, maternity, nervous and sensory surgery in one evening, with no shortcut. Downloaded once, yours to keep.

About the author

Passmark builds one kind of book: the one that makes your study hours count. We start from a simple conviction — a certification exam is a skills test, not a memory test — so we never hand you a wall of facts to reread. Our method comes from the science of how memory actually holds: you learn by retrieving, not rereading; you revisit on a widening schedule so it sticks; every answer is explained, right and wrong, so you keep the reasoning; and a diagnostic points your hours where they will move your score. We read each exam's current blueprint ourselves, write every question from scratch, and check every number in the book — question counts, domain weights, practice tests — against the finished pages, not the marketing. When an exam changes, our books change with it.
