Dear Friend,

Let me ask you a question.

Are you about to take the AAPC exam for Certified Professional Coder for the
first time?

Or are you one of the many people who FAILED the exam the first time, and are
now looking to retake the test, perhaps for the third or fourth time?

IT'S TIME TO STOP DOING WHAT'S NOT WORKING, AND GET THE CPC PRACTICE EXAM -
UPDATED FOR 2023!


CONTENTS OF THE PRACTICE EXAM:


 * 150 Question CPC Practice Test
 * Answer Key, With Full Rationale
 * Scan Tron Bubble Sheets
 * The Exam Study Guide, including:
   Common Anatomy Terminology Handouts
   Common Medical Terminology Prefix, Root Word, and Suffix Handouts
 * The Official AAPC Proctor-to-Examinee Instructions (read out loud on the day
   of the exam)

“Would I recommend it? YES!”
"Outstanding! Worth every penny! I was so nervous about the exam when I ordered
this practice one. I took it and wasn't too sure of how I did. My second try on
the practice was much better! When I had to take my CPC exam (the real one) I
opened the book and it was so similar... no surprises, which was nice. Would I
recommend it? YES!"



“Very well put together.”
"I was impressed with the exam when I received it. I am going to use it as my
final for the class I teach this fall. Very well put together."



As soon as the 2023 coding books were released in late 2022, we went over the
entire test with a loupe to make sure all the codes referred to in the answer
key hadn't changed since last year. The test is now fully updated for 2023.

“I was really pleased with how prepared I felt...”
"I just sat for the CPC exam on Saturday. I don't know yet if I passed or not
but I have to say the exam was very similar to the CPC practice exam I purchased
through this site.

I actually think the practice exam may have been just a tad harder.

The questions were similar, it was laid out the same way, I was really pleased
with how prepared I felt while taking the exam. I kept waiting for some
"unknown" surprise to pop up but it never did, so thanks."



A good practice exam should fully prepare its examinee for the real exam.
Knowing what to expect and not being surprised on exam day are important.

AAPC's CPC exam is 150 questions and must be completed in 5 hours and 40 minutes
or less.

There are three main sections to the CPC exam:

 * Medical Concepts
 * Surgery and Modifiers
 * Remaining CPT codes

Each of these three sections are then further divided into the following smaller
headings.





MEDICAL CONCEPTS:

**The following sub-divisions are each assigned 5-10 category specific
questions**



 * Guidelines
 * Payment management
 * Medical terminology
 * Anatomy
 * ICD-10-CM codes
 * HCPCS codes



SURGERY AND MODIFIERS:

**This section is mainly sub-divided to reflect the surgery section of the CPT
book and assigns 5-10 category specific questions to each of the following
sub-divisions**



 * Integumentary
 * Musculoskeletal
 * Respiratory
 * Cardiology
 * Hemic/Lymphatic systems
 * Mediastinum/Diaphragham
 * Digestive
 * Urinary
 * Male and Female reproductive organs
 * Maternity/ Endocrine system
 * Nervous system
 * Eyes/Ears



REMAINING CPT CODES:

**This portion of the exam focuses on the remaining CPT codes and assigns 5-10
category specific questions to each of the following sub-division**



 * Evaluation and Management
 * Anesthesia
 * Radiology
 * Pathology
 * Medicine

Our 150 question CPC practice exam was created using the structure listed above
in order to emulate the actual CPC exam as closely as possible. We felt that by
doing this examinees would know exactly what to expect on examination day. By
utilizing this structure examinees can better prepare for the exam by focusing
on category specific questions and identifying areas of weakness. Knowing what
to expect in detail also tend to help calm pre-test anxiety.







AAPC's CPC exam is 150 questions long. Questions range from true and false, to
1-2 sentences, to full page operative notes.

Questions on the CPC exam do not cover just specific medical codes. Questions
can be very diverse, testing the examinees knowledge on:

 * Coding Guidelines
 * Understanding of Conventions
 * Correct Modifier Use
 * Bundling and Global Packages
 * Medical Terminology and Gross Anatomy


We have taken into account the wide spectrum of diversity the CPC exam offers
and have constructed the questions on our CPC Practice Exam to reflect those on
the actual exam as closely as possible.



In addition to our well constructed questions we are also providing a full
rationale for each question.

These rationales provide the correct answer for each question as well as a full
explanation as of why this option is correct, why the other three options are
incorrect, and where in the medical coding books the answer can be located.

Studying the rationale of an answer may very well be the easiest and most
efficient way to learn how to pass the CPC exam.



THE CPC PRACTICE EXAM IS AVAILABLE NOW

Priced at only

this test is a bargain by any standard. Passing the CPC exam means, on average,
a salary increase of $7,000 compared to uncertified coders.




THIS IS WHAT OUR PREVIEWERS AND CODING
EDITORS HAD TO SAY:

“Felt like the actual CPC Exam”
"I was privileged to take the CPC practice exam prior to its release and felt as
if I were taking the actual exam. This had every detail right!"


"The study guide provided a lot of useful information. Well worth the price!"




CPC Practice Exam Sample Questions
Example 1: Medical Terminology

The term "Salping-Oophorectomy" refers to

a. The removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries
b. The surgical sampling or removal of a fertilized egg
c. Cutting into the fallopian tubes and ovaries for surgical purposes
d. Cutting into a fertilized egg for surgical purposes

Rational

Answer: A

The term "salp" means tube, the term "ooph" refers to the ovary, and the suffix
"ectomy" means to surgically remove. Some CPT books (like the professional
edition put out by the AMA) contains pages with common medical terms like these
in the beginning of the book (prior to the coding guidelines)

Example 2: ICD-10-CM

Jim was at a bonfire when he tripped and fell into the flames. Jim sustained
multiple burns. He came to the emergency room via an ambulance and was treated
for second and third degree burns of his face, second degree burn on his
shoulders and forearms, and third degree burns on the fronts of his thighs.

a. T20.20XA, T20.30XA, T22.259A, T22.219A, T24.319A, T31.42, X03.0XXA
b. T20.30XA, T24.319A, T22.299A, T31.42, X03.0XXA
c. T20.09XA, T22.099A, T24.099A, T31.64, X03.0XXA
d. T20.30XA, T22.299A, T24.319A, T31.64, X03.0XXA


Rational

Answer: B

Burn codes always have at least three codes: A burn code, a total body surface
area code, or T31 category code, and an external cause code. Burn codes have the
following rules, which can be found at the beginning of the ICD-10-CM manual
under Guideline I.C.19.d Coding of burns and corrosions. Always code one
location to the highest degree. For example, for first and second degree burns
on the arm, you would only code second degree. When sequencing burn codes,
always list the highest degree burn code first and end with the lowest degree
burn code. For example, regarding first degree burns to the face and third
degree burns to the arm, you would list the arm burn first and then the face
burn. For question 33, answer B is correct because its codes describe the
highest degree burn to each location and the burn codes are also arranged the in
the correct order of highest to lowest degree of burn. To find the codes for the
actual burns, we start with the areas with the third degree burns, in this case
the face and thigh burns. Look up Burn/ face, and you will find Burn/ head.
Burn, head, third degree is T20.30-. Search for Burn, thigh, third degree and
you will find T24.319-9-. The second degree burns are for the upper and
forearms. In the index, Burn, arm points to Burn, upper, limb. Looking up Burn,
upper limb, multiple sites to code for both the upper arm and forearm, you will
find that second degree is T22.299-. All of these need seven characters, with
the seventh character being A, for initial encounter. The T31.42 (TBSA code) has
the correct calculation when using the rule of nine (fourth digit burned to any
degree; 9 x 5 = 45; five areas burned are head, arm1, arm2, leg1, leg 2; 5th
digit describes only 3rd degree burns which are head (9), leg1 (9), and leg2
(9). 9x3=27). To find the code using the index, look up Burn, extent 40-49
percent with 20-29 percent third degree burns which points to T31.42. The
external cause code correctly describes the bonfire incident. In the External
Causes Index, look up Exposure, fire, not in building or structure which
designates code X03.0. This also requires a seventh character of A, making the
code X03.0XXA. Verify all codes in the Tabular.

Example 3: Anesthesia

When does anesthesia time begin?

a. After the induction of anesthesia is complete
b. During the pre-operative exam prior to entering the OR
c. When the anesthesiologist begins preparing the patient for the induction of
anesthesia
d. Once the supervising physician signs over the patient's care to the
anesthesiologist

Rational

Answer: C

The answer to this question can be located in the anesthesia coding guidelines
under the title "Time Reporting"
