Medical Coding Mock Exams
Purpose
Timed mock examinations for ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS, and medical coding certification preparation. Designed to replicate the actual exam environment for CPC, COC, CCA, CCS, RHIT, and BCHHC credentials.
Exams Covered
| Certification | Body | Format | Focus |
|---|
|-------------|------|--------|-------|
| CPC | AAPC | 100 MCQ, 4 hrs, 70% to pass | Outpatient/physician coding |
|---|---|---|---|
| COC (formerly CPC-H) | AAPC | MCQ format, verify current question count/time | Hospital outpatient coding |
| CCA | AHIMA | MCQ, verify current format | Coding fundamentals |
| CCS | AHIMA | MCQ + coding, verify current format | Inpatient + outpatient |
| RHIT | AHIMA | MCQ, verify current format | Health information management |
| BCHHC | Certifying body unclear — sources vary between BMSCC/AHCC/WellSky, verify directly | MCQ, case-based | Home health coding |
Note: COC was formerly named CPC-H — if you see "CPC-H" in older study material, it refers to the same credential under its current name, COC.
Mock Exam Strategy
•Time yourself strictly — exam conditions build the right habit
•Review every wrong answer with the ICD-10-CM/CPT guideline that applies
•Track weak topic areas and focus study sessions there
•Repeat the same mock exam after 2 weeks to measure improvement
•Final week: 1 full timed mock per day
