Wiki Need info regarding CPB

[Chunduri]

Hello All,

I am planning to take the Newly launched CPB certification for Billers by this year end as my employer is requesting it.

Can anyone Please let me know about :

1. Anyone from this forum(or your friends/colleagues) has attended to this certification ?
2. If Yes, How about the difficulty level of the exam ?
3. What are the various recommended resources available (Study guides, Tests etc)
4. I found only 1 practice test available to procure from AAPC (50 questions), is that the only one that AAPC have and how to get more and from where ?
5. Does anyone know about CMBS (Traditional Alternative for CPB ) by AMBA ? and which one is the well recognized among these (CPB or CMBS) ?
6 Other tips and any related useful Info

Please let me know the above and I am waiting for your replies.

Thanks

Good Morning.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you purchase this book:

Understanding Health Insurance, A Guide to Billing and Reimbursement 11th Edition
– Textbook and Workbook bundle; JoAnn C. Rowell and Michelle A. Green; Delmar
Cengage Learning; ISBN: 9781133425519

This coursebook is what is used for the CPB course through AAPC. It is everything you need.

I sat for the test and it is a REALLY good exam. Hard, Yes. but with the right workbook you should do fine.

GOOD LUCK
