In order to pass the CPC exam, you must be skilled in numerous areas of study. When you read the test booklet, it is vital not to become overwhelmed; instead, concentrate on coding rules and guidelines.

The following is a few coding tips that will help you prepare for the exam:

•Know your coding guidelines.
The goal is not to memorize guidelines but to understand them. You need to know how to interpret and apply what you read. You should be able to recognize the rationale, purpose, logic, and intent of the guideline by exam day. To help learn how a guideline is applied, review codes that the guideline applies to. And practice!

•Not all areas of the CPC curriculum require equal study time.
From your CPC training course, you know that some chapters took longer to digest than others. Concentrate on the more complex areas. Invest your time and effort to ensure you understand key concepts and difficult coding scenarios. Identify your weaknesses and give those areas extra attention.

•Know your modifiers.
Understand the purpose of each modifier and when the modifier should be appended.

•Know your medical terminology. The exam will ask questions pertaining to anatomy and medical terminology, and you’ll need to know these subjects to extract important details for coding. Break out the flashcards for a refresher before exam day.

•Know the letter ranges for ICD-10 and number ranges for CPT® codes. With limited time on test day, the ability to recognize basic info about a code because you know its ranges can mean the difference between passing the CPC exam and not having enough time to finish the test. Code ranges allow you to instantly narrow down potential answers. If a question asks about a code pertaining to the musculoskeletal system, for example, you can eliminate all codes that don’t begin with the number 2.

•Acclimate yourself to the language in the code books. Exam questions use verbiage in code descriptors and code notes. You’ll want to understand the language well enough to look up the answers.
