How Can I Schedule or Retake My AAPC Exam?

Written by Andrew McLaughlin

Overview

AAPC certification exams are scheduled through Meazure Learning after an eligible exam voucher has been redeemed.

This article explains how to redeem an exam voucher, schedule an exam appointment, schedule a retake, and troubleshoot common exam scheduling issues. The article does not cover Unlimited Exam Attempts programs, voucher extensions, or course-specific training requirements, which are covered separately.


Redeem Your Exam Voucher

Before scheduling an exam appointment, you must redeem your exam voucher.

  1. Sign in to your AAPC account.

  2. Open your account purchases.

  3. Locate the exam voucher associated with your certification exam.

  4. Select Redeem.

  5. Follow the prompts provided to continue to Meazure Learning.

Redeeming a voucher does not automatically schedule an exam appointment. Scheduling must be completed separately through Meazure Learning.


Schedule Your Exam

After redeeming your voucher:

  1. Access Meazure Learning.

  2. Sign in using the credentials provided in your Notice to Schedule communication.

  3. Select your preferred testing option.

  4. Choose an available testing date, time, and location when applicable.

  5. Confirm your appointment.

Exam availability may vary based on testing capacity and appointment availability.


Schedule a Retake

If your exam purchase includes an additional attempt, a retake may become available after your first exam attempt has been processed.

You may be able to schedule your retake through:

  • Your available exam voucher

  • Your exam results page

  • The Schedule Retake option, when available

If your retake is not immediately visible, allow time for processing before contacting support.


Common Scheduling Issues

I Cannot See the Redeem Button

If the Redeem button is unavailable:

  • Refresh the page.

  • Verify the voucher has not already been redeemed.

  • Confirm the voucher has not expired.

  • Verify any required eligibility conditions have been met.

If the issue continues, contact AAPC Support.


My Second Attempt Is Missing

If your second attempt is not visible:

  • Confirm your first exam attempt has been processed.

  • Verify your package includes an additional attempt.

  • Review your purchases and exam results.

  • Allow processing time before escalating the issue.


I Cannot Access My Notice to Schedule Information

The Notice to Schedule communication includes the credentials required for exam scheduling.

If you have forgotten your login information:

  • Use the password reset option.

  • Contact support if additional assistance is required.


My Exam Is Not Appearing in Meazure Learning

Scheduling visibility issues can occur when:

  • Voucher redemption is incomplete.

  • Account information has not synchronized.

  • Processing has not completed.

These situations may require review by AAPC and Meazure Learning.


No-Shows and Voucher Forfeiture

Failure to attend or complete a scheduled exam appointment may affect voucher eligibility.

Examples include:

  • Missing a scheduled appointment.

  • Failing required identity verification.

  • Failing to meet exam requirements.

  • Not cancelling within required timeframes.

If a voucher is forfeited, a new exam voucher or an available additional attempt may be required.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule an exam before redeeming my voucher?

No. Exam vouchers must be redeemed before scheduling can occur.

Can I schedule my retake before receiving exam results?

Generally, exam results must be processed before retake options become available.

Why can't I see my appointment?

Voucher redemption status, processing, account synchronization, and scheduling availability can affect appointment visibility.

Where do I learn about Unlimited Exam Attempts?

Unlimited Exam Attempts are governed by separate eligibility, validity, and request requirements. Review the Understanding AAPC Unlimited Exam Attempts article for details. [UnlimitedE...nditions 1 | PDF], [SRT Call B...k-Elitania | Teams]


KB Audit Verdict: Delete the current version and replace it with this. We already created:

  • Unlimited Exam Attempts

  • Second Attempt Scheduling

So this article should become the clean, evergreen "how do I schedule or retake an exam?" hub article instead of trying to be the entire Exams department stuffed into one page. 😄
