This is probably a dumb question, but does the proficiency exam include ICD-10-PCS? Should I go over ICD-10-PCS if it doesn't? I'm not employed in any area of coding yet and I figure it wouldn't hurt to look over it. Would that be wise to do?

Has anyone taken the ICD10-PCS on-line training that AAPC is offering? Is it similar in scope and setup to the ICD10CM online training? Is there a 'proficiency test'/certificate at the end as there was in the ICD-10CM online training? I've completed the ICD10-CM training and am considering taking the PCS...but I would like to hear from someone that has already taken it before I plunk down another $395.

Thanks In Advance
 
I am taking the PCS as a review for previous training prior to 2015 date. PCS is for inpatient surgical coding, but there is a push on to make it required for outpatient, clinic and Emergency Department coding. I believe it would be prudent for every CPC-H to take the course. PCS is very difficult. Do more research as to what you want to do in coding and then pursue courses and reviews relevant to your goals.
