For the latest updates on our certifications, exams, and policies, see the announcements below.
Please be advised that the RHIA examination will be releasing a new version of the certification exam consisting of new exam items aligned to the new exam content outline. The new RHIA exam is the result of a recent job analysis. The new content outline can be found on the RHIA certification page.
The new exam will be released on 03/01/2021. Please be advised all exams scheduled on or after 03/01/2021 will be based on the new exam content outline.
The Pearson VUE helplines are overwhelmed with long wait times. If you can apply one of the steps above to address your concerns, please do. If you need assistance, contact AHIMA at certification@ahima.org. Please expect a slight delay in response due to high volume. We will process requests in the order they were received.
Our continued thoughts are with the people and communities affected by COVID-19. Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we adapt to the demands of this evolving situation.
