Questions

Before you enroll

Do I need healthcare experience to start?

When can I start?
New online classes begin every Monday, so you can start when it works for you. In-person CPB® classes in Phoenix start the second week of January, July and November.
How long does each course take?
CPC® is 20 weeks, CPB® is 16 weeks and CPMA® is 8 weeks.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Pay up front for savings, or spread tuition out with a payment plan. Ask us for current options.
What does tuition include?
CPC® tuition includes all of your books, midterms, the final exam, 3 practice exams, the AAPC certification exam and a 1-year AAPC membership. Check each course page for what's included in other programs.
What's the difference between coding and billing?
Coders turn medical documentation into diagnosis and procedure codes. Billers use those codes to build claims, send them to payers and follow up until they're paid. Try both free mini courses above to see which one clicks for you.
