HCPCS Book Tabbing Tutorial

In this video I walk through the detailed process of tabbing the 2024 HCPCS book, comparing it with the 2023 edition. I highlight the differences between the standard tabs provided in the book and those available for purchase online. This tutorial is particularly beneficial for medical coders, especially those gearing up for certification exams.

I looked on Amazon plastic tabs

[@diianaaa3]

You should do a video on how to use the CHUN method for note taking 😊

[@ContempoCoding]

I would but that method is trademarked. Also, with the way things are progressing with the exams and the possible move to eBooks, CHUN would not be helpful.

[@allieiacobelli]

Hi Victoria, Im looking for your (I think) video that I watched when my books came in October - you showed how to keep the spiral bindings secure with zip ties and I finally got my hands on some and wanted to watch along to make sure I do it correctly - am I thinking of someone else? 😅

[@sultanashampa3685]

Where are u can the tabs for buying? What need to search? Please let me know!

[@alsoscakesandmore]

I would like allll the tabs but- if I were going to buy the good tabs for one book and use the ones that came with for the others, what one would be the best for the good fancy tabs?

[@princessnewary9820]

Hi, are there new codes, delete codes, or anything replaced in the 2024 books?

[@clairegriffin3361]

Where is the link to the tabs to purchase on Etsy?

[@willthecameraman]

In the description of the video.

[@pdxroses24]

Any advice or references for making your own tabs?

[@nickkayleeaiden]

I don't see the link for the tabs.

[@docon18]

Hello, are we allowed to use these tabs for the test? Or is this for after we pass the test?

[@jeremeolson5555]

thats a dream

[@cristamoore7535]

I’m looking into Preppy vs the course through AAPC …. I’m confused about books because it says the Preppy course is all ebooks ? Is this correct ? I need hard books…. Please advise Thanks so much ! Your videos are so helpful

[@ContempoCoding]

Preppy offers eBooks, which is where the industry is moving towards. I actually just did an interview with the VP of Products and Services at the AAPC and she spoke about how they're piloting the eBooks for exams and it seems we're moving in that direction -- just not there quite yet. Preppy does offer you the option to purchase the paper books for examination purposes since we're still transitioning over the adoption of digital tools in the industry. If you have any further questions or concerns, reach out to [e-mail], they have an amazing customer service team that can help you out.

[@cristamoore7535]

Thanks so much for the info ! Think it’d be ok for me to purchase the hardcover books you recommend through AAPC to use in the Preppy course ?

[@sultanashampa3685]

I got my 2024 books 😊

[@johnnaleger7286]

I still don't have mine. AAPC said it's delayed. So annoying!

[@Gingy2002]

What bundle did you purchase?

[@johnnaleger7286]

I'm sorry, I have them all except the HCPC.

[@BayouPlanner]

Do you have a coupon code for the Etsy shop?

[@ContempoCoding]

I do not.

[@Gingy2002]

Hello Victoria, I'm currently taking the preppy course, and I'm looking into getting scheduled to take the cpc exam through aapc. I'm a little confused though, first, what books do I need to study for the exam? And second, I have to become an aapc member first to in order purchase and schedule for the exam? Thank you so much in advance😊

[@Islamicthoughts242]

How much does Preppy charge and how long is that course going to be

[@Gingy2002]

@@Islamicthoughts242 I don't remember the exact number at this moment, I remember it was under $2,000

[@cristamoore7535]

How do you like Preppy course so far? I’m thinking about taking the course also , but are there no books? Is everything online ? Thanks

[@Islamicthoughts242]

So every year u have to buy new versions of books. Even if you doing the job

[@ContempoCoding]

Medical coders obtain new books annually either by purchasing them or having them provided by their employer. There are hundreds of code updates every year. These updates are essential to accurately represent advancements in medical knowledge and practice, incorporate regulatory changes, remove outdated codes, and improve the specificity and utility of existing codes. Staying up-to-date with the most recent coding books ensures that medical coders can maintain the highest level of accuracy and compliance, which is crucial for proper reimbursement and quality patient care.

[@lillyeschmann9313]

hello, are we allowed to use the tabs on the exam?

[@lillyeschmann9313]

or are you only aloud to use the tabs they provide?

[@ContempoCoding]

"Handwritten notes are acceptable in the coding books only if they pertain to daily coding activities. Questions from the Study Guides, Practice Exams, or the Exam itself are prohibited. Tabs may be inserted, taped, pasted, glued, or stapled in the manuals so long as the obvious intent of the tab is to earmark a page with words or numbers, not supplement information in the book. Altering, whiting out, painting, or printing over any pages within the code books (e.g., marketing pages, table of contents, reference pages, etc.) to supplement information is prohibited. No materials (other than tab dividers) may be inserted, taped, pasted, glued, or stapled in the manuals." Ref: www.aapc.com/training/cpc-exam-faqs.aspx

[@jessicacacia2668]

My HCPCS Level II looks different than what I see on yours. This is a 2023, are you using 2024? Because the Introduction on my book looks different than yours. I am lost. :(

[@ContempoCoding]

There are different editions of HCPCS. AAPC, AHIMA, AMA, PMIC, Optum, etc. Are you using a different edition?

[@sabrina6966]

@@ContempoCodingI have the 2024 AMA HCPCS Level II Professional. Should I order the book you have? I’m a beginner and thought I had purchased the correct book.

[@anjushappiness]

Hello .I am planning to write exam n march..I hav 2023 books with me..Is that allowed or exam centre will provide 2024 books..Iam in Canada

[@ContempoCoding]

The exams get a refresh every January 1st to reflect the current calendar year's code sets. So, even though ICD-10-CM codes might update on October 1st, those changes won't show up in the exam until the new year rolls around. 🗓️ Feel free to use last year's books, but just know you might be at a slight disadvantage. For the full scoop, check out AAPC's official guidance: www.aapc.com/certification/faq.aspx " What year's books should I use? All AAPC exams are based on the current calendar year’s code sets, so we strongly suggest you use the current year’s books. The previous calendar year’s books may be used on an exam, but you would be at obvious disadvantage doing so. The upcoming year’s books are not allowed for exam use. The exams are updated every January for the new code sets."
