Exam Tips
Should I eliminate ICD-9 or CPT codes first on the
CPC exam?
I am going to attend the exam on 23rd Nov, any
suggestions please would be great thanks.

Certification
Can you get a job with a CPC? Would another
certificate or degree be more helpful in finding a
job?
What would be a good specialty to start out with in
coding?
