big help needed...regarding CPC for international (Foreign)

Hi,

I am basically living outside of America and not citizen of it ....

I was about to apply for CPC certification exam that is going to be held in Feb and March (whichever I can get myself into), but there has been hike in fees for CPC certification of around $500 and since I am thinking of strategy that could lessen the financial constraints ....

I was wondering if I could apply first for the AAPC Individual membership and then apply for CPC examination ....would that decrease the amount of examination fees from $500 to $300....


thanks in advance....

Yes, many people become members of the AAPC prior to taking the CPC. That is the way I did it.

Ruth is correct. I became a member before I ordered the exam. Also, if you are an enrolled student you get to join for a discount. You will need to provide a letter or proof you are enrolled in a program. It is a significant discount. $70 from $125. Some courses, like ours also gets you a discount on the exam from $300 to $260. Every little bit helps.

Best of luck on your exam.
