Reviews

[Dr Abby Travis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Vinay Trivedi’s CPC Certification Study Guide 2026 is hands down one of the best resources for CPC exam prep. The book is well-structured, with clear explanations, practical case studies, and step-by-step rationales that make complex coding topics easy to grasp. I especially appreciated how each CPT® section is covered thoroughly with ICD-10-CM integration and modifier guidance. This guide gave me confidence in my preparation, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone serious about passing the CPC exam.
