Recertification

Recertification examinations are designed to test your knowledge of coding and relevant clinical, reimbursement/compliance changes affecting your specialty since your original certification date (or your last recertification date).

The recertification exam consists of ten multiple choice questions. You will have 90 minutes to complete the exam. You should expect to receive an email from the Board of Medical Specialty Coding approximately three months prior to your recertification date (see your certificate for the month and date), please notify us at info@medicalspecialtycoding.com, in case our email records are out-of-date. Emails change often.
