I have a question regarding coding for ICD-10 at a SNF. I'm currently using an OPTUM 360 book purchased before I was hired. I can get a discount for the 2018 ICD-10-CM Expert for Providers and Facilities with my AAPC membership. My question is, are they basically the same book? This is my first time working in a SNF setting and I'm hoping to save my employer some money if I can get them cheaper in 2019.

Thank you.

What information is missing in the book that you need? As a code set, ICD-10 does not vary from one book to the next - it's mainly the format and incidental information that will be different. I've found that having the 'wrong' book is often more of an inconvenience than a case of not actually having the information you really need to do the job.
