Technical Certification was developed in 1992 as a direct result of the dramatic changes in the health
care industry. AAHAM developed the CPAT and CCAT examinations to test the proficiency of individuals
involved in the collection of patient accounts and to prepare them for the many changes to come.

The Technical Certification exam is second only to the Professional exam in terms of difficulty and time
needed to prepare for it. Successful completion of the exam should indicate to a prospective employer
that an individual has mastered the common body of technical knowledge required of an employee in the
patient accounts department. Certification designation affords benefits during job search or promotional
opportunities.

Testing is now conducted on the Internet.

Cost of the technical Certification - $125.
