What is the test center exam cancellation and rescheduling policy?

Written by Andrew McLaughlin

AAPC exams may be canceled or rescheduled through Meazure Learning before the scheduled exam appointment.

Cancellation and rescheduling eligibility depends on how far in advance the request is submitted.

Standard Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy

  • Exams canceled or rescheduled more than 14 days before the scheduled appointment may be changed without an additional fee.

  • Exams canceled or rescheduled between 14 days and 2 days before the scheduled appointment may be subject to a rescheduling fee.

  • Exams cannot be canceled or rescheduled within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment. Requests made within that timeframe will be blocked by the scheduling system.

This policy applies to both testing-center exams and Live Remote Proctor (LRP) exams.

How Do I Reschedule My Exam?

To reschedule your exam:

  1. Sign in to your Meazure Learning account.

  2. Open the exam scheduling section.

  3. Locate the scheduled exam appointment.

  4. Follow the prompts to reschedule or cancel the appointment.

  5. Complete any required payment associated with the change.

What Happens If I Miss My Scheduled Exam?

If you do not appear for your scheduled exam appointment, the exam may be recorded as a no-show.

A no-show results in voucher forfeiture and uses an available exam attempt associated with the voucher. Additional scheduling may require an available second attempt or the purchase of a new exam voucher.

What Situations Can Lead to a No-Show?

Examples include:

  • Not attending the scheduled exam appointment.

  • Failing required identity verification.

  • Failing to meet testing requirements.

  • Attempting to cancel or reschedule after the permitted timeframe.

  • Failing exam security requirements.

Exceptional Circumstances

AAPC may review certain documented emergency situations on a case-by-case basis.

Examples may include:

  • Documented medical emergencies.

  • Verified weather-related interruptions.

  • Verified internet or utility outages that affect testing.

  • Other situations requiring review by the Exams team.

Approval is not guaranteed and is determined after review of the available documentation and circumstances.
