ICD-10-CM Coding Manual

Participants must have access to an ICD-10-CM coding manual for this training program. It is preferred to have the 2025 version as codes get updated, added, and/or deleted each year; but is not required for the course. Manuals can be borrowed from your facility or purchased either from Amazon or directly from a publisher such as Optum or the American Medical Association.
