For more information contact Stephanie O'Brine at sobrine@yvcc.edu.

What to Expect:
Completion Course Challenge does not guarantee or imply a passing grade for this course.  
The challenge will be manually graded by an instructor and a final grade will be submitted on your behalf. The focus of the billing and coding challenge is to assess if the student has a good base knowledge of both front and back medical office skills.   These are benchmark assessments taken directly from the course material.  
- Coding challenge for AHBC 101
1. This assessment will challenge the student on current procedural and diagnostic outpatient coding concepts and conventions.
Manuals needed to complete the testing are as follows
      a) ICD-10-CM manual, any year
      b) CPT manual, 2014 or newer
      c) HCPCS manual to complete the testing, any year
 - Billing challenge for AHBC 102

2. Please have a pencil or pen available - there will be written assignments.  There are case studies that will need to be scanned into a drop box in Canvas.  This is part of the test.  
3. The student will be expected to draw on independent thinking skills by following the instructions provided and apply them without supervision or asking questions.
