🩺 CPC Medical Coding Exam Prep

An independent, free exam-preparation course that walks through the publicly published AAPC CPC exam content outline. The CPC (Certified Professional Coder) is the most recognised entry-level medical-coding credential, and this course builds exam-ready understanding of the three code sets a coder uses every day: CPT® (Current Procedural Terminology) Category I for procedures and services, ICD-10-CM for diagnoses, and HCPCS Level II for supplies, drugs and services. It uses visual lessons, worked coding examples, original self-check questions and a 45-question final exam to cover medical terminology and anatomy, the surgery sections by body system, evaluation & management (E/M), anesthesia, radiology, pathology/laboratory, the medicine section, modifiers, NCCI edits, payer rules and reimbursement (RVUs), HIPAA and documentation. It is awareness/prep only — not the official AAPC review course or the certification exam itself — and claims no AAPC affiliation or endorsement. It maps to AAPC CPC (CPT, ICD-10-CM, HCPCS Level II). The course is organized into 22 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 80%). It is independent, free exam-preparation training — not an official or accredited review course.
