CRCR Practice Test

The CRCR Practice Test is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests readiness for the HFMA Certified Revenue Cycle Representative (CRCR) exam — patient access and registration, insurance verification and financial counselling, charge capture, claims, billing and denials, and compliance, collections and the patient financial experience — written to HFMA's CRCR programme, CMS rules on EMTALA, the No Surprises Act and hospital price transparency, and IRS section 501(r) for 2026. The rules are US-specific. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable CRCR Readiness certificate (SOA-CRCR). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Certified Revenue Cycle Representative (CRCR) (Healthcare Financial Management Association), Requirements for 501(c)(3) hospitals under section 501(r) (Internal Revenue Service), Medical bill rights (No Surprises Act and good faith estimates) (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) — and each answer is explained with its source.
