Are books required for electronic exams at testing centers?

U.S., Bahamas, and Jamaica

Examinees will bring their own copies of books associated with the specific exam they are taking. Current year books are highly recommended as code sets are updated annually. You may choose to utilize books from the preceding year, the current year, or a combination or both; however, only one copy of each book is allowed.

Please review testing center allowed materials.

India

Exams being conducted in India will have the following coding manuals provided at the Testing Center, if your exam permits:

Current year

  • AMA CPT

  • ICD-10-CM

  • ICD-10-PCS

  • HCPCS Level II

If your exam type permits other references than those listed above, you may bring them to the exam; however, they must be clean of any writing and will be checked by the proctor(s). Again, please review testing center allowed materials.
