Are you ready to take the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) exam? If so, you’ve come to the right place! In this blog post, we’ll provide a comprehensive guide on how to register for the CPC exam.
Understanding the CPC Exam
Before diving into the registration process, let’s take a moment to review the CPC exam. The CPC exam is a comprehensive, computer-based test designed to measure your knowledge and coding proficiency. It covers a wide range of topics, including anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, medical coding, reimbursement methodologies, and regulatory guidelines.
The CPC exam is offered year-round, and you can take it at any accredited testing center. You must pass the exam in order to become a certified professional coder.
Choosing a Test Date
Once you’ve decided to take the CPC exam, the next step is to choose a test date. When selecting a date, it’s important to consider your study schedule, as well as the testing center’s availability.
Most testing centers offer the CPC exam on a first-come, first-served basis. As such, it’s important to register as soon as possible to ensure you get the date you want.
Creating a Pearson VUE Account

Once you’ve created an account, you’ll be able to log in and begin the registration process.
Paying for the Exam
The CPC exam costs $399. When registering, you’ll need to provide your payment information and choose a payment method. You can pay with a credit card, debit card, or PayPal.
Scheduling an Appointment
Once you’ve paid for the exam, you’ll need to schedule your appointment. To do so, log back into your Pearson VUE account and select a testing center and date. You’ll also need to provide your personal information, such as your name, address, and phone number.
