More than a self-paced course.
The cohort adds the structure that independent study does not: guided implementation, accountability, applied work, remediation, and a defined certification-preparation pathway.
Follow a structured medical billing and CPB preparation sequence instead of deciding what to study next on your own.
Work through realistic billing scenarios, claims logic, payer workflows, denials, payments, A/R, and compliance concepts.
Use scheduled cohort support, progress review, remediation guidance, and exam-readiness checkpoints to keep moving.
Turn lesson knowledge into structured exercises, application work, and competency evidence.
Practice navigating CPT®, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS Level II resources in preparation for billing work and the CPB exam.
Move from HVA Academy instruction into a supported preparation pathway for the AAPC Certified Professional Biller examination.
Your AAPC® certification package.
The CPB credential and certification examination are administered by AAPC. HVA Academy provides the education, guided cohort support, application practice, and exam-preparation environment.
Build the billing foundation before exam day.
The cohort uses the HVA Academy medical billing curriculum as the instructional foundation and organizes the material into a guided certification-preparation experience.
Your support continues beyond the cohort.
The cohort is designed as a 6–8 month guided vocational pathway with defined access before, during, and after completion.
Access the HVA Classroom for 12 months from enrollment for cohort learning and review, including applicable HVA curriculum, HVA textbook and lesson ebooks/digital resources, reference libraries, workbook implementation, cohort materials, and governed learner resources.
Successful cohort completion activates one year of AHAVA Annual Membership, including continued HVA 101 resource access during active membership plus continuing education and professional-development infrastructure governed by AHAVA.
Eligible graduates receive an opportunity to apply for or enroll in the separately governed Behavioral Billing® Externship Program, subject to eligibility, capacity, supervision, scheduling, scope, and participation requirements.
Enroll in the guided cohort.
The $4,995 tuition includes the complete 6–8 month HVA Academy Guided Medical Billing Cohort, 12 months of HVA Classroom access from enrollment, the included AAPC® certification package, and one year of AHAVA Annual Membership activated after successful cohort completion.
Know the commitment before you enroll.
Enrollment reserves a cohort seat and supports procurement and allocation of third-party educational products, professional membership, exam-reference materials, and certification examination benefits.
Shipping, delivery timing, product fulfillment, cohort scheduling, and exam-voucher activation are managed according to the applicable HVA Academy enrollment and fulfillment process.
From exploration to certification and professional support.
Explore the profession and build foundational understanding.
Complete the paid HVA curriculum independently.
Apply the curriculum with structure, accountability, and CPB exam preparation.
Use the included AAPC® package to move into the external certification exam pathway.
Successful cohort completion activates 12 months of AHAVA membership for continued HVA 101 resource access, continuing education, professional visibility, and career development.
Built for learners who want structured support.
This cohort may be a strong fit if you are preparing to enter medical billing, strengthening your billing specialization as an HVA, transitioning into revenue-cycle work, or preparing for the AAPC Certified Professional Biller examination.
Build foundational billing literacy through a structured pathway rather than fragmented study.
Add stronger medical billing knowledge and revenue-cycle specialization to your administrative skill set.
Move through a defined study schedule with accountability, review, and remediation support.
Enrollment does not guarantee passing the CPB examination, employment, a specific salary or income, client acquisition, job placement, reimbursement outcomes, or clinical competence. Results depend on participation, study, application, exam performance, and the requirements of employers and credentialing organizations.
Continue into the Behavioral Billing® Externship.
After successful cohort completion, eligible graduates receive the opportunity to apply for or enroll in the Behavioral Billing® Externship Program as the applied, real-world experience layer of the pathway.
Behavioral Billing® Externship Program
The externship remains separately governed and is subject to its own eligibility, capacity, scope, scheduling, supervision, and participation terms. Externship placement, employment, contracts, wages, or income are not guaranteed.
Prepare with structure.
Complete the curriculum. Apply the work. Build your exam-readiness plan. Move into the CPB certification pathway with the materials and support already organized around you.
