Medical Coding Exam Locations


Examinations are proctored through AAPC local chapter and Professional Medical Coding Curriculum (PMCC) sites. These examinations are proctored by AAPC's approved local chapter officers, instructors or staff.

Note: To reflect updates in the recognized code sets (CPT®, ICD-9-CM, and HCPCS Level II), the AAPC updates examinations yearly (on January 1) and uses current calendar year codes.

When your examination application has been processed, you will be able to view the proctor's name and telephone number on our website under the member log in area under My Scheduled Events. Contact the proctor for further details of the examination time and location, if it is not listed there. (Refer to the Examination Application "How to Apply")

Several examination sites have limited seating. Registrations are processed in the order they are received, so register early.

Application Approval: In order for the application to be processed and approved, all required documents must be submitted to the AAPC’s office at least four weeks prior to the examination date. Incomplete applications, or those received less than four weeks before the examination date, will not be processed. Examination payments are processed whether or not applications are accepted and may be applied to a future examination date. If examination application is not processed for any reason you will be notified by email.

Note: To reflect updates in the recognized code sets (CPT®, ICD-9-CM, and HCPCS Level II), the AAPC develops new CPC®, CPC-H®, CPC-P®, or CIRCC® examinations yearly. The AAPC only offers the current year examination.
