For Medical coding certification, U need to take the CPC exam (Certified Professional Coder) which includes:

150 multiple choice questions (proctored)

5 hours and 40 minutes to finish the exam

1 free retake

The cost goes this way:

Registration Fee $175

CAPS Fee $ 4

Registration Total $179 which makes a total of $644.11

ADDITIONAL STUDENT FEES (estimated cost of books)

Step-by-Step Medical Coding, 2013 Edition, textbook $87.95

ICD-9-CM Standard for Hospitals (2013) Vol 1,2,3, textbook $109

Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary $32.31

Medical Abbreviations, textbook $28.95

CPT 2013 (indexed) Professional Ed. Spiral (AMA) 109.95

HCPCS Level II Professional $96.95

Total Student Fees $ 465.11

This is the estimated ideal cost.

I hope this answer helps.

You can anyways find more details at: Revenue cycle management about the total processes a medical coder goes through as a part of the work.

And the CPC exam official information site.
