CPHQ exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) exam is administered by the Healthcare Quality Certification Commission (HQCC), the certifying arm of the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ). There are no formal eligibility requirements to sit the exam — anyone can register — but NAHQ recommends at least 2 years of healthcare quality experience, since the exam content is written with that experience level in mind. Exam fees are tiered by membership: in the US, $357 for premium members up to $714 for non-members, with standard membership priced at $549 in between (international candidates pay $400-$799 across the same tiers). The exam is 125 scored questions plus 15 unscored pretest questions, over a maximum of 3 hours, available either online with a remote proctor or in person at a testing center. Content spans seven weighted domains, most heavily Performance and Process Improvement (21.6%) and Health Data Analytics (20.8%), with a published cognitive-level split of 23% knowledge, 57% application, and 20% analysis.
