Has anyone here taken, or going to take, the CPC ICD-10 assessment? - MT2coder

My question is if you can take the test in stages or if you have to sign in and take the complete test all at once. The website doesn't say and yes, I have e-mailed them to ask, but in the meantime, I am curious if anyone knows. I am just worried about being interrupted and having to walk away and losing time or if I can just sign out and come back in to "hold" my time. They give you 3.5 hours to complete it.

I think you have to take it all at once. - MT2Coder2

I think it is all at once. Two reasons for that. One, I was talking to some people who had taken it. They were quite pressured by the time limit, fearing that they would not finish. Others groaned at the length. One of them was an instructor who had taken it. Given that everyone was groaning about the length, I think she would have said if you could stop and start, but did not.

Two, if you could start and stop, you would be able to stop to look up difficult questions, thus defeating the timing.

Please let us know what you find out.

I tried looking this up in AAMT BOS but maybe I am not looking right ...

I am beyond frustrated. Is there anyone out there that has taken the assessment testing that is supposed to be completed by 02/14? There is 1 test that I have taken at least 50 times and cannot pass it. It's the one with the Asian woman who has shoulder pain. I have put in every combination there is, and it still says "incorrect." My HDSM says I have to pass it for the testing to be considered "complete." Apparently there is ...

Hello, Smart People- Has anyone ever been asked to take a personality assessment when you're in the running for a job position? I applied for a patient sitter position at a local hospital and they said I was in the running and would I please take an assessment. It was a personality assessment (I could just tell), but I don't think it was the MMPI--the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Index. There weren't enough questions for that one. FYI: The job description for which I'm ...

What ever happened to our weekly assessment/review of our ASR production? I received 1 evaluation back in November around Thanksgiving and have not received another one. Am I wrong in thinking we were supposed to get one weekly. Has anyone gotten any more than their original one? Maybe I was so good, they just said, she doesnt need it, LOL My guess, they realized how much it was going to cost them to pay someone to do this and nixed it already. ...
