Questions before you enroll?
Do I need coding experience or terminology and anatomy first?
You do not need to be a certified coder. Medical terminology and anatomy are strongly recommended prerequisites, but you can study them before PBC or alongside it.
For example, study digestive-system terminology and anatomy, then work through the digestive-system coding chapter. Do the same with musculoskeletal terminology and anatomy before that coding chapter. This lets you build your foundation one body system at a time.
The Medical Terminology & Anatomy course can support either approach.
What do I need to purchase separately?
Required coding manuals and textbooks are not included. Neither are certification exam fees or membership fees charged by a certifying organization. Check the current book list before ordering your materials.
What does lifetime access mean?
The one-time plan provides lifetime course access. CCO defines “lifetime” as the life of the product, service or company. Included resources can have separate access periods; enhanced BHAT files are listed with one year of access.
The monthly subscription does not provide lifetime ownership. Access depends on maintaining your subscription.
Can I cancel the subscription? What if a payment lapses?
The monthly plan can be canceled; it is not an installment plan toward buying lifetime access. Review the subscription terms at checkout before enrolling.
A payment lapse can interrupt access and reset course progress. Contact CCO if you need help understanding your access before making a change.
What is the refund policy?
CCO’s online training payments are nonrefundable because access is available immediately. Review the current checkout terms before purchasing. If you are unsure whether this is the right course, ask CCO for guidance first.
When can I start, and can I watch offline?
The course is available online after enrollment, with prerecorded lessons you can study at your own pace. You need an internet connection to stream the videos; offline downloading is not available.
Does this course include CEUs?
No. This full course does not include CEUs. For continuing learning and CEU opportunities, explore CCO Club and the options in the Product Catalog.
Will this prepare me for every coding specialty?
PBC builds a physician/professional-fee coding foundation and supports preparation for exams such as CPC and CCS-P. It is not a substitute for every specialty-specific training requirement. For inpatient, outpatient facility or other tracks, use the Product Catalog or ask us for help choosing.
Choose your next step
Start with monthly access, or choose lifetime course access and the bundled resources. Both plans include instructor support and BHAT® Cave access.
