I am taking my CPC exam in May and I am really worried! I just completed my Medical Billing and Coding classes @ Southwestern College and most of my classmates are'nt taking the test until they get some real world experience. If I pass I will be given the CPC-A until I get 1 year on job experience. Does anyone know if billing but not coding for a physician could be considered toward that experience? But anyways I purchased the practice exams and have been taking those and I think they are really going to help me. Well to everyone else getting ready to take the exam " GOOD LUCK"!!
 
Took my 2nd exam in Jan 2010

Hello! I took the exam in Dec. and didn't pass and then took again in January 2010 and passed. I took a course, but never received the course instruction online, so I basically studied on my own. I completed Contexo Media's bootcamp in late Dec. That gave me the knowledge I needed to pass the exam. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is know the Guidelines inside and out. I not only took Contexo Media's test at the end of the bootcamp, but also purchased AAPC's tests. They are the closest to the exam. Good luck.
