Hello All!
I just wanted to inform those out there that have been questioning the guidelines and timeframe of the ICD-10 Proficiency Exam. I personally received an email from the AAPC Education department on 12/29/11, so the following information is valid and true.
ICD-10 Proficiency Assessment is Mandatory. We have from Oct.1, 2012- Oct. 1, 2014 to take and pass the exam.
The exam is $60 and you get 2 attempts for that $60 fee. If you should not pass within those two attempts, you are permitted to continue paying the $60 for every two attempts there after until you pass the exam.
Hope this helps clear up some of the confusion out there. Please pass on to your fellow coders.
A Happy New Year to all!
