The Procedure Desk Reference (PDR) is the only AAPC book printed in black and white. All other code books are printed in color.

The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is a code set used to classify diagnoses in both the inpatient and outpatient setting.

The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a coding system used to classify procedures performed in the inpatient setting.

Preorders may be cancelled at any time prior to shipment. If your books have already shipped, please refer to the return policy tab, which states all returns must be submitted within 30 days of the shipment date. Call (800) 626-2633 to cancel or return your order.

Because the code sets for each book are updated every year, it’s essential for coders to use the most current book to ensure accurate coding. Reporting wrong codes can lead to denied claim submissions and substantial penalization. It’s imperative healthcare professionals stay up to date on new codes and changes, which means obtaining new code books every year.

All AAPC exams are based on the current year’s code sets. The previous year’s books may be used on an exam, but they may be inaccurate and result in errors. The upcoming year’s books are not allowed for exam use.

For example, all exams administered in 2020 are based on the 2020 (versus 2021) code sets. Code books from 2019 may be used on the 2020 exams, but you risk using outdated or incorrect codes.

Refer to the chart below to find the books and resources allowed at various exams.
