Who administers the NHA Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) Exam?

National Healthcareer Association (NHA) — exam delivered by a PSI testing center, a live remote proctoring provider, or the candidate's own school or employer. NHA states that where live remote proctoring is used, the proctoring provider is selected for the candidate at registration.

How many questions are on the NHA Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) Exam?

125 questions (100 scored, 25 unscored pretest). 100 scored items plus 25 unscored pretest items, per NHA's test plan. The test plan says coding manuals (CPT, ICD-10-CM and HCPCS) are required for the exam.

What is the passing score for the NHA Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) Exam?

Scaled score of 390 on a 200–500 scale. This is a scaled score, not a percentage. NHA weights items by difficulty and does not publish the raw-to-scaled conversion, so it cannot be restated as a percentage or as a number of correct answers. Score reports additionally rate each content area as above, near or below the passing standard.

How much does the NHA Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) Exam cost?

Not checked. NHA sells the exam through its store, which renders prices only in the browser; the page's HTML read on the retrieval date carries no amount, so PrepPass states none.

What languages is the NHA Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) Exam offered in?

English. English only, stated affirmatively in the handbook rather than merely absent from it: NHA does not provide translated forms, translation aids or interpreters.

Does the Medical Billing & Coding (CBCS) cram sheet come as a PDF?

Yes — Medical Billing & Coding — Cram Sheet (2026) downloads as PDF, 17 pages. The download link is emailed the moment payment clears and does not expire.

How much does the Medical Billing & Coding (CBCS) cram sheet cost?

$6.99, once. There is no subscription and no account to create; the PDF file is yours to keep.

Are there free Medical Billing & Coding (CBCS) practice questions?

Yes — 399 of them, free to use with no signup and an explanation on every one. They are separate from this cram sheet, which is what you are buying here.

What is the difference between the Medical Billing & Coding (CBCS) study guide and the cram sheet?

The study guide ($14.99) teaches the material chapter by chapter and is meant to be read over weeks. The cram sheet ($6.99, 17 pages) drops the teaching and keeps the figures: every number on the exam grouped by value so the confusable ones sit together, each reference page paired with a recall page that blanks the answers, and four routes by days left — 14, 7, 3, or tonight. They are separate purchases; neither replaces the other.

Is this the official Medical Billing & Coding (CBCS) cram sheet?

No. This is an independent cram sheet and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the exam's awarding body. It is written from ICD-10-CM/CPT/HCPCS official guidelines + HIPAA/CMS rules. Always confirm current requirements with the body that issues your licence.
