Not sure where to start?

Every course, blitz, and practice exam in this catalog is built on CCO’s Proven Process and our signature BHAT® methodology — the same exam-day strategy that has helped thousands of coders pass their credentialing exams on the first attempt.

If you are not sure which credential track is right for you, reach out to our team and we will point you in the right direction. In short, you do not have to navigate this alone.

Core Medical Coding Courses

Quick orientation: Physician/ProFee (PBC) covers professional-fee outpatient encounters billed on the CMS-1500 form (physician offices, clinic visits). Facility/Outpatient (FBC) covers hospital outpatient and ASC coding billed on the UB-04 form, including OPPS/APCs and the Charge Description Master.

First and foremost, our core medical coding courses are comprehensive certification preparation programs that take you from foundation to credential-ready. Each course includes BHAT®, instructor support, and the full curriculum needed to pass the AAPC or AHIMA exam. As a result, students graduate exam-ready and confident.

Ancillary Courses

Build the foundation skills and specialty knowledge that make a coder, biller, or CDI professional truly stand out. Furthermore, these ancillary medical coding courses mix and match with any core course to round out your training or specialize after credentialing. For example, pairing ICD-10-CM with Pathophysiology builds serious diagnostic-coding depth.

Specialty Courses

Specialty courses focus on a specific clinical area or coding niche (for example, patient navigation, cardiology, radiology). They’re typically pursued after earning a coding credential (CPC®, COC®, CIC®, CCS®, etc.) to deepen expertise, qualify for a specialty credential, or open new career paths.

Advanced / Secondary Courses

Advanced / secondary courses build on a foundational coding credential and prepare you for elevated, cross-cutting roles such as Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI), Auditing, or high-complexity coding. These are not entry-level — they assume you already understand CPT®, ICD-10-CM, and payer rules, and you’re ready to stretch into reviewing, querying, and quality-checking the work of other coders or providers.

Review Blitzes (Boot Camps)

Already trained and ready to test? Additionally, our high-impact review blitzes condense exam strategy, weak-area drilling, and BHAT® application into focused boot-camp-style sessions designed to push you across the finish line after completing medical coding courses. In other words, blitzes are the final sprint before test day.

Practice Exams

Time yourself under realistic conditions. Moreover, each practice exam mirrors the format, difficulty, and content distribution of the real credentialing exam — with answer rationales so you learn from every question. Consequently, timed practice is the single strongest predictor of pass-rate success.

Books & Textbooks

Reference books that pair with our medical coding courses

Similarly, from the Medical Auditor Textbook to specialty references, our books are written by working professionals for working professionals. Above all, they stay current with the annual code-set changes that matter most.
