AHIMA’s updating of the Coding Credential exams lags behind changes to the coding sets. Typically, AHIMA coding credential exams use the current year guidelines and code sets until May 1 of the following year.
Which year CCS Exam Review will I need?
It depends on when you will be sitting for your credential:
- If you are planning to take the exam prior to May 1, 2027, you should study the FY2026 guidelines and codes and prepare with the 2026 CCS Exam Review.
- If you are planning to take the exam May 1, 2027 or later, you should study the FY2027 guidelines and codes and prepare with the 2027 CCS Exam Review.

First things first! Before attempting to earn a coding credential, candidates should be well versed in the knowledge essential to the work of a medical record coder.
Foundational Sciences: Medical record coders require foundational knowledge in certain key areas. Course work in these topics is essential prior to commencing a program of study in coding.
- Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology – The anatomical structures and physiology of the human body. Each body system is discussed in detail.
- Introduction to Medical Terminology – The language used by medical professionals to accurately describe the human body and associated components, conditions, processes and procedures.
- Introduction to Pharmacology – The principles and basics of pharmacology, introducing students to the principles of clinical application, including basic pharmacokinetics, dosage forms, and drug administration.

“I tell everyone about Libman. I find that you have a very wide variety of choices in education that is actually needed and not so many things that aren’t really needed and can be mind boggling just trying to sift through it. Your website is well organized and everything offered is so well laid out and very informative as far as what you are getting, what I need and a very thorough write-up on everything offered. I’m so thrilled to have found your site!” — Sharon T
“I’m pleasantly surprised at your response … really didn’t think I would receive anything at all, so, thank you! I believe that alone says a lot for Libman Education. I would recommend you to other coding professionals.” — Jennifer Jones, CPC
“LOVEEE Libman! Very happy with the classes I’ve taken.” — Linda C.
“I love the courses at Libman Education.” — Joanne S., CCS
“Libman has exceeded my expectations so far in every way, with the content of courses, but the hands on with the instructors is one of the best and most genius things to offer! All other companies I’ve seen in my 12 years in this field do not offer this invaluable service with their education. Answers to questions on education content is something that was desperately needed, but to my knowledge, it was/is not offered anywhere else and this is what sets Libman apart from the rest. Also, your high quality education and very knowledgeable instructors.” — coding student
“Any of Libman Education’s courses are worth time and cost. Always walk away with a useable, clarity or reinforcement of subject matter.”
