Wiki ICD-10-PCS

Are there any questions in the CPC exam that use the ICD-10-PCS book? I want to make sure I have the right book. It seems to me the exam uses CPT, CM and HCPCS 2.

If you are sitting for the CPC exam, then no, there are no questions that use the ICD-10-PCS book. If you are sitting for the CIC exam, then yes, there will be questions that use the ICD-10-PCS book. The ICD-10-PCS book is used for inpatient coding.

Thank you for the clarification. I am preparing for the CPC exam and there are practice exams A,B,C,D,E, and F. I wonder what the difference is between them, they all have 50 questions each.

They are all similar practice questions. When I called AAPC the person said 3 of them was good enough so I just bought 3.

Is there any benefit to repeating your practice exams you purchased?

 

[mamataraj]

Yes, I repeated it couple of times mostly for timing purpose. It is important to read the explanations and make notes in the book. That helped a lot in the exam.

Thanks again for your strategies, but if I can ask what do you mean for timing purposes.

Just to time myself, to make sure I finish on time.
