Cpc Study Guide By Carol Buck 2016
Both books are excellent. The Step-By-Step series are just that, a detailed explanation of all the steps, guidelines and instructions necessary to code. This is great for someone learning coding without prior experience. The Exam Review book is more of a high level review and is better for those with some coding experience that are just needing to prepare for the exam. I like it because it has a lot of lists and is straight to the point.
So.it just depends on what you are wanting out of the book. I do agree with Sunni, the Step-By-Step book is a great resource to always keep handy even after passing the exam!
I am taking the CPC exam this Saturday, May 4th - I have been using the Physician Coding Exam Review 2013 - as previously mentioned, it is right to the point - they use outline form which is great. I am reading each chapter and making notes into the CPT or ICD-9. My instructor also recommended it. I wish that I had used it the first time that I took the exam.
From leading coding author and educator Carol J. Buck, this exam review. Your strengths and weaknesses in order to develop a plan for focused study. Mosby's Pocket Guide to Nursing Skills and Procedures ebook by Anne Griffin Perry, Patricia A. Workbook for Step-by-Step Medical Coding, 2016 Edition - E-Book.
Also, I think that taking practice test after practice test is the way to go. After all, it is an open book - but time is the issue - you have to be able to move fast. I think that is the key.
