12 scored items. Scheduling, the electronic health record, coding basics and insurance mechanics. You are not being tested as a coder — you are being tested on the front-office workflow around coding.
Where people lose points
- ICD-10-CM codes the diagnosis; CPT codes the procedure. Reversing them is the most common coding error on the exam.
- An EHR error is corrected, never erased. The original entry must remain visible with the correction attributed and dated.
- Copay, coinsurance and deductible are three different mechanisms, and questions often make you compute the patient's share.
- Verifying eligibility happens before the visit. Discovering a coverage problem at checkout is the failure the question is describing.
- Scheduling questions are really triage questions — the right answer depends on clinical urgency, not on who called first.
