What each set is for

Three families — not interchangeable.

ICD-10-CM — diagnoses. Common for both billers (literacy) and coders (assignment).

CPT — procedures/services (AMA). Critical for many coding exams; billers still need familiarity for claim review.

HCPCS Level II — supplies, drugs, and services outside CPT. Confirm whether your exam window expects a current book.

Always check the issuer’s allowed-materials list. Some exams are open-book with strict edition rules; others are not.
