CEHRS Exam Prep: 750 Practice Questions for the NHA Certified Electronic Health Records Specialist Exam
The Certified Electronic Health Records Specialist (CEHRS) from the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) is the credential for the person a practice relies on to keep its electronic health record accurate, secure, and usable: the specialist who guards documentation quality, trains staff on the system, controls who can see what, and pulls the reports the practice runs on. PassProfessor’s CEHRS Exam Prep gives you 750 original practice questions built to NHA’s official test plan — every domain, weighted the way the real exam weights it — with an explanation for every answer.
Start with the free sample
Take the free 12-question sample exam first — no account, no card. It is a fixed set, so every candidate sees the same questions. The full program unlocks the complete 100-question practice exams and all five domain drills.
How the practice works
- Full practice exams: 100 questions drawn fresh from the 750-question bank at the official domain weights, so no two attempts repeat the same exam. The 125-minute limit matches the real sitting.
- Domain drills: five focused drills — Non-Clinical Operations; Clinical Operations; Revenue Cycle/Finance; Regulatory Compliance; and Reporting — ten questions at a time, so you can drill your weakest domain until it stops being weak.
- Review as you go: check each answer as you answer it, then review the full set at the end.

What the 750 questions cover
| NHA domain | Questions on the real exam (of 100 scored) | Practice questions |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Clinical Operations | 28 | 210 |
| Clinical Operations | 32 | 240 |
| Revenue Cycle/Finance | 15 | 113 |
| Regulatory Compliance | 15 | 112 |
| Reporting | 10 | 75 |
Clinical Operations is the largest domain, and the bank treats it that way: building clinical templates, exchanging patient data securely, reviewing documentation for the errors that creep into charts (wrong directional terms, misspelled names, duplicated charting), supporting computerized provider order entry, and finding any piece of data in the record fast. Non-Clinical Operations covers the record’s front door — verifying patient identifiers before documenting, search techniques that prevent duplicate medical record numbers, importing data from scanners and outside providers, coordinating patient flow, training end users, and helping patients use the portal. Regulatory Compliance tests HIPAA and HITECH as daily practice: role-based access controls, de-identifying protected health information, recognizing non-compliant behavior such as password sharing, internal audits, and downtime procedures when the system goes dark. Revenue Cycle/Finance sits inside the EHR: building superbills, entering billing information from them, verifying eligibility, and collecting and posting payments. One line runs through the whole bank, because NHA draws it through the whole exam: the specialist finds and enters codes from the documentation and verifies their descriptors — the specialist does not assign codes. Assigning codes is the billing and coding specialist’s work, and this program does not pretend to be coding training.
Built to the 2019 test plan
This bank is built to NHA’s CEHRS test plan, drawn from the 2019 practice analysis — the plan in force for the exam today. NHA has announced no successor plan, and the domain weights in the table above are that plan’s weights.
A note on scoring
NHA reports results as a scaled score from 200 to 500, and the passing score is 390. A scaled score is not a percentage, and any prep product that converts it into one is misleading you. The 70% figure in our practice exams is our own practice benchmark: a study target we set so you can judge your readiness, not NHA’s standard.
What it costs
$29, one time. No subscription, no per-attempt fees: every full practice exam draws a fresh set of questions, and the drills are unlimited while your access lasts. NHA requires a 30-day wait before a retake, so going in ready the first time is worth real money.
CEHRS Exam Prep FAQ
Is the CEHRS a coding credential?
No. The EHR specialist works in the record itself: documentation quality, system training, access control, data exchange, and reporting. The role touches coded information constantly — finding codes in the system, entering them from the superbill, verifying that the descriptions match the documentation — but selecting and assigning codes is the billing and coding specialist’s job. This program prepares you for the EHR specialist’s exam, at the depth NHA tests it.
What does an EHR specialist actually do all day?
Think of the specialist as the practice’s record-keeper and system expert in one: keeping patient information complete and accurate, training coworkers on the EHR and supporting them at the point of care, guarding access to protected health information, reconciling data that disagrees between systems, and generating the financial and clinical reports the practice manages by. The exam tests that whole working day, which is why the bank is organized around it.
Who can take the CEHRS exam?
You need a high school diploma or GED — or a diploma expected within 18 months under NHA’s provisional window — plus either an electronic health records training program completed within the last five years or supervised work experience in the role (one year within the last three, or two within the last five). Our exam guide lays out both routes in full.
How long is the practice exam?
100 questions with a 125-minute limit — the same scored length and the same time as the real exam (which adds 25 unscored pretest questions inside the same 125 minutes).
What score do I need to pass the real exam?
A scaled score of 390 on NHA’s 200–500 scale. That is a scaled score, not a percentage. Our 70% is a practice benchmark we chose as a readiness target — treat consistent scores at or above it across all five domains as a sign you are ready to schedule.
Are the questions original?
Yes — 100% original, written for PassProfessor from NHA’s published test plan. They are not copied from NHA’s exam, and NHA does not endorse this program.
