Data and calculations

Wages are BLS estimates for an occupation and an area. They are not a promise of what any person will earn, and they are gross pay before taxes. The payback, cost and timeline results are simple calculations from your inputs and from published figures. They do not account for every cost, such as books, practice exams, continuing education or time away from work.

Fees and rules

Exam, membership and recertification fees and rules come from the AAPC and AHIMA websites and were checked on October 5, 2026. Certifying bodies can change them at any time. Confirm the current price and requirements with AAPC or AHIMA before you pay.

ICD-10-CM lookup

The code lookup reflects the CMS FY 2027 files. It is a quick reference and not a substitute for the official Tabular List, Alphabetic Index and ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting.

No endorsement

This site does not sell training and does not recommend any school or course. Mention of AAPC, AHIMA or any credential is for information only and does not imply affiliation or endorsement.
