Coding Readiness and Proficiency Assessments
Coder Readiness Assessments
The AHIMA Coder Readiness Assessments are 100-question biomedical science assessments designed to assist the coding professional preparing for the ICD-10 transition. The purpose of these assessments is to identify strengths and weaknesses in clinical areas. The questions are based upon the following topics:
- Anatomy and Physiology
- Medical Terminology
- Pharmacology
- Pathophysiology
AHIMA ICD-10-CM Coder Readiness Assessment > Get details and register
AHIMA ICD-10-PCS Coder Readiness Assessment > Get details and register
Coding Proficiency Assessments
The 60-question proficiency assessments are part of AHIMA’s Coding Assessment and Training Solutions® (CATS) program. The assessment were developed for use when a general idea of a coding professional’s competence is needed, without specific emphasis on selective topics, such as specific disease processes.
The questions in each proficiency assessment are categorized as intermediate or advanced coding practice levels. Intermediate questions assess understanding of application of basic coding skills to actual health record information, while advanced questions assess interpretation, analysis, and synthesis of the entire health information data spectrum impacted by code selection and code assignment.
Item format is all multiple-choice with a question stem and four possible answers. Use of current codebooks or access to an encoder along with the assessment program is required. Upon completion of the assessment you will be provided with your score and feedback on each question.
The six Coding Proficiency Assessments are:
