If there going to be a chance that on the AAPC exam they could give you a brand name drug you have to find to code, but it's nowhere to be found in the table of drugs? For example, Kenalog. Would you automatically have to know the generic, and should you make a brief list in one of the manuals of common brand drugs with their generic names just to be safe? Thank you in advance.
 
For the exams I have encountered, they use a HCPCS drug that is identifiable. This would possibly affect one, but usually not more than two questions, of a CPC exam.
