Frequently Asked Questions
The CBCS (Certified Billing and Coding Specialist) is awarded by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). It demonstrates competence in medical billing, claim preparation, and coding using ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II. AAPC's CPC and AHIMA's CCS are competing credentials in the same domain.
The Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) is issued by the NHA. It is recognized by healthcare employers nationwide as a valid credential demonstrating competence in the Medical Billing & Coding Specialist role.
No. Our course is exam-preparation training — it covers the cognitive content you need to pass. The certification exam itself is administered and priced separately by the NHA. We provide guidance on registering for the exam when you complete the course.
CBCS does not require a clinical externship — billing and coding is administrative, performed away from patient care. Our online course covers everything needed for the CBCS exam, and many graduates work remotely after passing. NHA recommends completing a related education program before sitting for the exam.
Most students complete the Medical Billing & Coding Specialist program in 4 to 6 months. The course is self-paced, so you can finish faster or take longer depending on your schedule.
Yes — some states (notably California, Florida, and Texas) have state-specific scope-of-practice rules or registration requirements for Medical Billing & Coding Specialists. Our national curriculum prepares you for the NHA exam, but you should confirm any additional state requirements with your state's regulatory body before practicing.
