CIRCC - Certified Interventional Radiology Cardiovascular Coder
CIRCC Preparation Courses and Guides from ZHealth Publishing
CIRCC is the "Certified Interventional Radiology Cardiovascular Coder" program developed and endorsed by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC).
CIRCC certified coders are highly valuable to physician practices and facilities that wish to eliminate reimbursement and compliance errors. Never before has it been so important to have properly trained and certified individuals to ensure correct coding and interventional radiology coding is among the top five coder salaries as reported by the AAPC in 2008.
The CIRCC certification is available to coders, nurses, nurse auditors, technologists, and others involved with the interventional radiology coding process. More information on the CIRCC certification process is available at the AAPC.
Regular CIRCC examinations are offered at all AAPC testing sites across the country. For convenience, we offer CIRCC exams in conjunction with each of our ZHealth Publishing Coding Seminars.
ZHealth Publishing provides multiple resources to help you prepare for and pass the CIRCC Exam in order to achieve your CIRCC certification. In addition to ZHealth Publishing's comprehensive four day Quarterly Interventional Radiology and Cardiology Coding Seminars, Reference Series of Coding Books, Webinars and E-learning Modules, we are pleased to offer a Study Guide and one day Conferences specific to the CIRCC.
CIRCC Study Guide
The CIRCC Study Guide is an invaluable training tool for experienced coders preparing for the CIRCC exam and as a reference for anyone involved with interventional radiology or cardiology coding.
The CIRCC Guide was developed by ZHealth Publishing in concert with MedLearn and the AAPC and includes:
- CIRCC exam overview -- types of questions, references allowed, time allotted, and requirements to sit for the exam. Terminology you'll need to know for the exam
- Basic procedure coding. View the CIRCC Guide Table of Contents
- Matches of codes to cardiac catheterizations, coronary interventions, vascular diagnostic procedures and interventions, and non-vascular diagnostic and interventional procedures
- 100 pages (B &W, spiral bound) of the most critical information you’ll need to review for your CIRCC exam, administered by the AAPC.

Our customers say this about our coding products and services...
"I work for the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System, several years ago when I worked for Richard Roudebush VA in Indianapolis my supervisor at the time gave each one of us a pack that contained Interventional Radiology and Cardiology Coding Charts. This Was a God-Send. These charts have helped me greatly. The other day when coding an encounter, my co-worker notices that I had these chart and he could not believe how helpful they were. Thank you."
