Under the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) CMS requires offices to employ certified coders. You can be prepared by taking one of our courses and sitting for the CPC-P board exam. We will guide you every step of the way!
The Certified Professional Coder-Payer (CPC-P) credential offered by the American Academy of Professional Coders (the Academy) certifies that the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills to adjudicate provider claims effectively. The CPC-P demonstrates the payer coder’s aptitude, proficiency and knowledge within the payer environment. The Academy is the first organization to offer a certification exam that recognizes the coders in the payer community.
The CPC-P board exam will evaluate the payer coders knowledge of:
- Medical Terminology
- Human Anatomy
- Coding Manuals (CPT, ICD-9-CM, HCPCS)
- Understanding payment systems (DRG, APC, RBRVS)
- Competency in code combination concepts (CCI, Medical Necessity)
- Understanding of coding rules and guidelines
- Understanding of insurance terminology, business practices and payment standards
The CDNG 301 - Physician/Outpatient Based Medical Coding course offered by the CRN Institute prepares you for the CPC-P board exam.
