Certified Medical Claims Professional (CMCP)

Exam Objectives

ACCB Testing System

The American Career Certification Board (ACCB) recognizes that the demand for Medical Billers is exceptionally high and that this demand is expected to be sustained for several years. By creating an entry-level billing credential based on job analysis and state-of-the-art test construction, the ACCB aims to contribute to increase the competence and qualification level of new Medical Billers.
Earning the ACCB’s CMCP certification proves that a candidate has a broad base of knowledge and competency in medical reimbursement and billing including awareness of the insurance, billing and collection processes. This certification track is designed to demonstrate an entry-level competence typically for the new entrant into this field.
New billers who earn the CMCP will immediately demonstrate their formal knowledge of the billing process, even if they don't have much job experience. Earning a CMCP demonstrates a commitment to quality billing processes even for those who are new in the field. CMCP holders will also distinguish themselves from non-credentialed billers. Voluntary certification indicates compliance with the professional standards for practice in this medical support services specialty.
The CMCP should be viewed as the starting point for an individual entering a new career as a Medical Biller. Credentialing provides assurances to the public that certified individuals have met objective, predetermined qualifications for providing a quality service.
