Comments re: a couple of posts about use of tabs. I tab. The CPT has tabs in the front of the book. For the other books I bought a packet of Post-it, plastic dispenser, tabs come in 3 colors, about 1-inch wide. I cut them in half, no need for the full inch, and labeled/tabbed only the first page of each section. Really saves time. Do I remember a comment about "if an employer saw those tabs he/she would consider it amateurish." My own concept about this, if I were an employer, if my employee did something to make the job easier or streamline the process - which tabbing does do that - then that is good thinking on the part of the employee. Think about our HCPCS 2014 book - it has built-in tabs. Related to that, we just received an e-mail from the supervisor to make notes to aid in our memory. We all work many different accounts, each of whose "rules" are different and found on their account specifics page, but to stop and look at that every time we open a new chart is not good use of time - thus we were advised to make a list of short notes. That's on the par of the purpose of tabbing - making it easier to find the information.
