About the AMT CMAS Exam
The AMT CMAS exam validates competencies for medical administrative specialists. Its eight official work areas cover foundations, clerical assisting, basic clinical concepts, records management, insurance/coding/billing, office finance, information processing, and office management. The credential is administrative in focus; it does not by itself authorize or prohibit a workplace duty, which remains subject to training, employer policy, and applicable law.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the AMT CMAS different from the AMT RMA?
CMAS validates medical administrative work, while RMA validates a broader medical-assisting role that includes clinical competencies. A credential does not itself authorize or prohibit a specific workplace duty; training, employer policy, scope rules, and applicable state law control what an individual may perform.
How is AMT CMAS different from NHA CMAA?
Both target front-office work, but they are issued by different bodies. CMAS is from American Medical Technologists (AMT), CMAA from National Healthcareer Association (NHA). The competencies overlap heavily — scheduling, billing, HIPAA, EHR — but the exam blueprints, fees, recert periods, and provider acceptance differ. Some employers list either; check the job ad.
How many questions are on the CMAS exam?
AMT's official CMAS content outline allocates 200 questions across eight work areas. The current candidate handbook allows 2 hours, and candidates test at a school Pearson VUE site or a Pearson VUE testing center.
What is the CMAS passing score?
AMT uses a scaled passing score of 70 on a 0-100 scale. Raw scores are equated across forms so that 70 represents the same level of competency regardless of which form a candidate sits.
How much does the CMAS exam cost?
The current AMT CMAS application fee is $125 and includes the application, exam, and first annual fee. Current maintenance is a $75 annual fee plus 30 Certification Continuation Program points during each three-year cycle. Verify live pricing before paying.
Can a CMAS perform venipuncture, injections, or vital signs?
CMAS is an administrative credential, and its outline includes only basic clinical concepts from that perspective. The credential alone does not authorize clinical procedures; whether a worker may perform a task depends on training, employer policy, the role, and applicable state law.
What is the eligibility to sit for CMAS?
AMT publishes three routes: a qualifying 720-hour program with at least 160 externship hours; RMA or equivalent plus two years of recent full-time medical-office administrative experience; or five years of qualifying full-time experience in the past seven years. Documentation requirements differ by route.
