Sample NHA CMAA practice questions

These sample items mirror the domains in the timed NHA CMAA mock. Correct answers and explanations unlock inside the practice session.

    A personal representative for an adult patient is typically

    • A. Someone with legal authority (eg, healthcare power of attorney)
    • B. The adult patient's spouse, who may sign authorizations by default
    • C. Any adult child listed as the emergency contact on registration

    • C. Remind them of privacy rules and report per policy if needed
    • D. Leave it to the privacy officer to catch in the next audit

The NHA Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) exam focuses on front-office medical admin: scheduling, EHR basics, insurance intake, medical terminology, and patient communication — not clinical procedures. Official public 2021 test plan: 110 scored + 25 pretest items (135 total) in 2 hours 15 minutes; scaled pass 390 on a 200–500 scale. This UniPrep2Go page is a 60-question / 50-minute timed diagnostic (free 25-question version) with domain scoring — not NHA material, not CCMA, and not CBCS.

Administered by: National Healthcareer Association (NHA) (official site ↗)

Official format: Official NHA CMAA (2021 test plan): 110 scored + 25 pretest / 2 hours 15 minutes / scaled pass 390 (200–500).

What changed in the current exam cycle

  • Public 2021 CMAA test plan lists 110 scored + 25 pretest items in 2 hours 15 minutes — older NHA PDFs that say 20 pretest / 2h 10m are stale.
  • UniPrep2Go’s check is 60 questions / 50 minutes (free 25-question version) with four topic buckets — shorter than the official 135-item form and not a domain-for-domain clone of NHA’s seven domains.

High-yield facts (commonly tested)

  • Official form is 135 items in 135 minutes; only the 110 scored items count toward the scaled score.
  • NHA exams in the candidate handbook use a 200–500 scale with a passing scaled score of 390.
  • Communication/professionalism and patient encounter are the heaviest domains (21 scored each); billing is only 11 — do not treat CMAA as a coding exam.
  • CMAA is front-office admin — not NHA CCMA, not CBCS, and not AAPC CPC.
  • UniPrep2Go’s check is a 60-question / 50-minute diagnostic (free 25-question version); the matching Anki deck is planned (waitlist), not a live Gumroad SKU.
