- This video reviews 2 methods of icd 10 pcs book tabbing for your upcoming CIC or CCS inpatient coding exam or CDEI exam prep. As part of our PCS coding tips series we will also discuss some best practices and have a look at the appendices found in the 2021 ICD-10-PCS book from Optum.
Although ICD 10 PCS is not the only code set necessary for AHIMA's exam, strategic tabbing and a thorough dissection of the ICD-10-PCS book is always helpful in your CCS exam prep!

2 years later and this is still very helpful.... thank you!!
Hi Krashclifton! It's been 2 years already?! Oh my! Thankfully the basic idea of PCS tabbing doesn't change with the passage of time. :) Hope you will do great on the exam!
Hi Ann, you mentioned that AAPC allows handmade tabs. How about AHIMA? I heard they do not allow. Also does AAPC offers inpatient coding which involves PCS book? Thanks
Hi Jenik! So AHIMA is interesting because officially they don't allow tabs but I heard several people stating that the proctor didn't bat an eyelash and let them keep what they had. I had the same experience. My books were tabbed to the max and nobody said anything. I have to assume it depends on the proctor you get. As for the inpatient course: yes, AAPC does have one, it is called CIC. Certified Inpatient Coder. Please keep in mind though that if you want to do inpatient coding you will need the CCS credential as that is more respected and accepted than the CIC.
Thanks so much for presenting this information.
Dear She Who Is Me! You are very welcome! Thank you for watching! :) Are you getting ready for an exam or did you tab for work?
@@TheMedicalCodingGuild I'm prepping to begin studying for CCS. I combined both methods and I find it helpful already. Your videos will definitely be a study tool for me. I'm currently a profee coder.
@@shewhoisme3677 I see. Yes, the CCS is a huge shift from profee, but you already have a great knowledge base to start with. Let me know under the corresponding videos if you have questions!
Hello Ann this was so helpful
Thank you! I am happy to share my best practices to help others. :)
Many thanks you’re the best
Hi Sahar! Thank you, that is super nice of you! Best of luck on your exam!! :)
Hi Mam, you are working for OPTUM? If so which location mam
Hi Swapna! No, I am not working for Optum at the moment. I did for a year or two in the past. I just like their books. :) You can apply with Optum online, they often need risk adjustment and other types of coders.
@@TheMedicalCodingGuild I am working for optum from past 6years in india
@@brosistass Oh I see. Sorry then. Do you like it?
@@TheMedicalCodingGuild mention not, work is fine
