Many coders find tabbing their coding books to be extremely helpful when learning where things are in their books and feel it speeds them up when taking their exam. In this video, I go through the tabbing process.
ICD-10-CM Tab Titles I used :
Sect 1.A - Conventions
Sect 1.B - Gen. Guidelines
Sect 1.C - Ch 1-22
Sect 2 - Principal dx
Sect 3 - Add’tl Dx
Sect 4 - Diagnostic & Outpt
A-Z for alphabetic index
Neoplasm Table
Drugs & Chem
External Causes
Apx A - 3 char. Codes
Apx B - Pharmacology
Apx C - Z code for long term Rx
Apx D - Only 1st / Principal Dx
Apx E - CMS-HCC
Apx F - CMS QPP

I will be sitting for my exam hopefully by June of this year. I’m going to be purchasing books within the next week or so. The CPT has to be AMA correct? I agree with you the ICD 10 through Optum looks so much easier to navigate so I will defiantly get that one. Is the CM for physicians expert the one I want? Does my HCPCS need to be AMA as well

Do you happen to have any videos that explain how to locate things in the icd10 for example? I cannot find an index! It goes straight from millions of codes to 2 appendixes.

Victoria - I saw another person say 'no handmade tabs'...does this mean like the physical tab, using cut up post it's or scotch tape to make tabs? I bought a TON of tabs off amazon and I write my things on them (ex: Integ might contain Excisions, I&D, Pilonidal, closures, etc) and put those in my CPT book also. Is this a no-no? Can I ONLY use the tabs that come with the book?

I def need to start tabbing my book. I'm 4'11 so when I take the exam I'm going to need a rolling backpack because the books are super heavy! I'm currently at Penn Foster for medical billing & coding. My completion date is July 16th BUT I have sickle cell disease which is excruciating as far as pain. Luckily the school is self paced. We take the CBCS exam at the end of the program. Next, I want to prepare for my CPC, any suggestions on a good school/program regarding the CPC? I've checked out AAPC & UMA. I was thinking about going back to my state college to finish the 5 classes I have left on my degree once I complete the medical billing & coding program I'm in now.

Heard you say about not being able to have notes in your book. I know someone who took a test and I’m not sure if it was for medical coding or medical billing. They were allowed to have an entire page of notes inside their book. Are we allowed to have any notes or anything written inside of our books?

She said you “CANT” have sticky notes on the books but you “CAN” write notes on them. Sticky notes are not allowed nor loose paper on them for the exam

Are these allowed for the CCS exam with AHIMA?

I've heard varying answers so I really can't provide a definitive one -- I would recommend you contact AHIMA directly with your question.

@@ContempoCoding I would say to contact the testing center because AHIMA was not helpful. AHIMA gave contradicting answers as opposed to the testing center. AHIMA said to use tabs provided with the book, but ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS do not have tabs (my books do not) so asked about making own index tabs. They said no. I called a local test center, they told me for the CCS, these tabs are fine. They also said transparent plastic post it notes that stick to the page are also okay to use, just not paper. So again, think it depends on what the testing center allows at this point. Thank you for your reply back!

why is aapc so picky about some stuff like post it notes? They are concerned about you writing things on them and "cheating"? There are many completely blank pages in my books to write stuff and that is perfectly acceptable to do, which in theory allows people to "cheat". They have no issue with that though, right? It just seems weird they have such a rule when you can write anything you want in all of the empty spaces in these thousands of pages between these 3 books but a big no no are post it notes which you can hardly write much on anyway

I wish you didn’t speed up the process of tabbing through your CPT manual. I got so lost and I had extra taps that had things on them like Card, Ophth, daily, Etc. I wasn’t sure where I should put them, I have never tabbed books before. Love the video but for newbies like me, I sure wished that you went slower and took more time and stated/showed where to put the tabs. Thank you.

Why do you tab your index because the questions where the answer is a code(s) you're going to have where to look without having to look anything up in the index.

I personally don't tab since I took my exam. Some people tab for faster use when looking up in the index, and y'know, use their book for more than just answering questions on the exam.
