About this ebook

You have an RHIA date. Hold it. Between now and then: 535 questions with rationales, two 180-question practice exams, a 12-day plan that opens with a diagnostic. No login, no expiry.

We built this the way a department head runs an orientation, not the way a shelf gets filled. AHIMA delivers 150 questions in three and a half hours and scores 130 of them. The other 20 are pretest items you cannot pick out. Five areas divide the paper, per the content outline in force since 1 March 2021. Compliance with Uses and Disclosures of PHI leads at 26 percent. Data Analytics and Informatics takes 24, Information Governance 19. Revenue Management holds 16, Management and Leadership 15. Nothing there is small enough to trade away, and your twelve days respect that. Check us against AHIMA's published content outline. We would rather you did.

What's inside

535 questions with rationales. Every wrong option carries its own reason, which is where the learning lands.

Two practice exams of 180 questions. Longer than the 150 you'll be given, so the sitting is rehearsal rather than a shock.

A 25-question diagnostic before Day 1. You get an area-by-area picture before the plan spends your evenings.

Privacy and disclosure as decisions. The Privacy Rule and the Security Rule, minimum necessary, release of information, risk analysis, and what turns an incident into a notifiable breach.

Data, governed and counted. The legal health record, data standards, the patient index and its duplicates, interoperability between systems that never agreed, statistics and registries.

Money and management in the same book. Reimbursement, the chargemaster, denials, documentation integrity, supervision, projects, budgets and contracts, with figures for the data lifecycle and the revenue cycle. Maybe you have bought a guide before that read like a glossary with a quiz at the back. Give it three evenings. If the diagnostic tells you nothing about your weakest area, put it down. An hour is all it cost.

Three readers find it useful. A student finishing a bachelor's in health information who wants one route to the seat. An RHIT moving up to the administrator credential. A manager who runs the function already and needs the letters. If privacy and security are already your day job, start at Day 6, where analytics begins.

Day 9 is claims, denials and case mix, and it is a grind. By Day 12 you'll notice what the exam asks of a manager: the decision, not the definition. 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.
