Wiki Certification Exams - Change to ICD10?

[Anduiza05]

Hello,

Does anyone know when the AAPC plans to change thier exams to ICD10?

Thanks,
Theresa

I was told it would be January 1st following the start of ICD-10. So if it goes in effect on 10/1/2015, the testing would switch effective 1/1/2016.

Yes, I was told the same thing. Anyone who certifies before that date also must take the ICD-10 proficiency assessment, but it is much easier (and shorter) than the CPC exam.

Thanks everyone that is what I thought. I am an instructor so this is really frustrating now I will have to continue to teach both until the change occurs.

thanks again.

ICD 10 Proficiency Assessment

You can take the ICD 10 Proficiency Assessment by attending the 2 day Boot Camp which is very helpful, they give u the book which helps you in preparing for the exam, check the AAPC website under ICD 10 which gives you all details about the assessment. It costs $ 60.00 with 1 free retake.

You may also take it online without taking the boot camp
