Quick question for anyone who may be able to help me with this. I have my CPC exam scheduled and in reading the book sets you can use, it states "the upcoming year's books are not allowed for exam use," which would be 2016 books correct? It also states "you can use the previous year's books for the exam" which would be 2015. My problem is my ICD-10-CM book is 2014, not 2015. I just want to make sure I am purchasing the correct year for this exam? TIA
I sent an email to AAPC to check what books can be used for the CPC exam. It is recommended to use the 2016 versions of the CPT, CM and HCPCS books. You can use the 2015 versions, but there were a lot of updates to the CPT.
Thanks for checking, Brandy!
In this case, the upcoming years books would be 2017. ;)
