Credentials
AHIMA’s Online Practice Exams

Are you taking your certification exam? Are you considering registering for the exam but not sure if you are ready? AHIMA’s RHIT, RHIA, and CCA online practice exams are the perfect tool for you!

The computer-based practice exams
allow you to measure your skills and
general readiness to sit for the test. The
exams feature questions from domains
of the exam blueprint written by the
same item writers who developed
questions for the official exam. At the
end, you will receive a score report
that shows your greatest strengths,
and where you need to bulk up your
knowledge. You can then use that
information to determine your next
steps in the exam preparation process.

Upcoming Audio Seminars

and Coding Guidelines, March 22, and

They offer a comprehensive review of
new and revised 2011 ICD- 10 codes
and guidelines and provide current
and correct information. Cases and
scenarios will be used to illustrate these
changes.
