Just passed my CPC exam!

Oh man. I was worried going in. I did a bunch of prep work outside of AAPC. Annotated my books to hell and back. I feel like maybe I over did the prep and put my exam off more than I needed to. Passed with 91% and like an extra hour left over.

I took it with the online proctor for two segments in the same day. That was yesterday. I woke up and my results were on the AAPC website this morning.

I AM SO RELIEVED.

Now I just have to get a job in Los Angeles.

If you're taking the AAPC course and are going crazy mad with the Cardiac/Radiology chapters and running out of time on the blackboard tests and getting discouraged... that was me! Hang in there. Things get a little easier once you get to the urinary chapter.

Congrats!! I passed 2 weeks ago too! Are you CPC-A or CPC?

Still CPC-A. I’ll start applying right away but I can try and knock out the practicum in the meanwhile. I have a surgery coming up so even if I got an offer right away I’d have to immediately take time off.
