The HCS-D Examination will be offered on the third day for those interested in testing their coding knowledge and skills. This workshop will be a perfect opportunity for individuals that are already HCS-D certified to obtain coding CE and retest if needed.

The fee is set by the BMSC and must be paid in advance and sent directly to BMSC. The HCS-D tests the intersection of coding, billing and PPS and it is strongly recommended that a test-taker have at least two years of coding experience before sitting for the exam. To register, or to access more exam information such as the test outline and sample questions, please visit BMSC on the web at www.medicalspecialtycoding.com or contact BMSC via email at info@medicalspecialtycoding.com.
