How are you guys keeping up with the code updates? In particular the ebooks? I think that the ebook version should automatically receive the updates if codes are added/deleted/revised during the same year. Until that is possible, how are you keeping those changes at your fingertips?

The ebook is the same as a print book that you happen to view electronically.

However, an online encoder would update each quarter. (Codify, EncoderPro, FindACode, etc).

Additionally, you can download a copy of the quarterly updates here: https://www.cms.gov/medicare/coding-billing/healthcare-common-procedure-system/quarterly-update
 
I would just add that if you sign up for emails from your Medicare administrative contractor you'll get a notice when the updates are available.
