For the MM program, we will not be provided the manuals until we move into "real coder" status.
Bummer. They are providing us with ebooks but I don't think the actual manuals would come in ebook format, am I right?
So, I found some 2014 ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS books by Optum on Amazon (is that Optum Ingenix?) They are "official drafts" - whatever that means, sounds like an oxymoron to me.
Also why am I not seeing a combined ICD-10-CM and PCS book, didn't they used to do that for ICD-9? Is it to do with the fact that there are more codes, the book would just be too damn big?
Too bad these are so pricey. But, just pondering if these would help my student/apprentice phase measurably. (Of course, I AM assuming I will pass my course and apprenticeship -> goes into my cost/benefit analysis.)
