The Certified Coding Associate (CCA) Exam Preparation course is designed to prepare students for the CCA Certification Exam offered by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).
The CCA credential distinguishes coders by exhibiting their commitment to the profession and demonstrating coding competencies across all settings, including hospitals and physician practices. The CCA credential is intended to balance limited job experience with tested knowledge and is often the first credential earned by new graduates and those new to the coding profession. Earning your CCA Credential can open the door to new employment opportunities and position you for advancement over non-credentialed individuals.
Who Should Take this Course?
- Graduates of HIM and coding certificate programs interested in getting their first coding credential
- Medical coders seeking credentialing of coding competencies in hospitals
- Medical coders seeking credentialing of coding competencies in physician practices

A note about AHIMA Certification and Codebooks:
The 2013 CCA exam will begin 4/1/13.
Candidates for the 2013 CCA exam will be allowed to use either the 2012 or 2013 version of the ICD-9 codebooks. Many ICD-9 publishers are not publishing a 2013 edition because of the code freeze, instead providing errata with any changes. The AMA is publishing a 2013 version of CPT and the 2013 CPT will be required for the 2013 test. Please review the list of allowable codebooks if you have any questions.
Candidates will not be able to test without the correct codebooks Per AHIMA, candidates that do not present the correct versions of codebooks will forfeit their exam fees.
