Coding Handbook
If you are a teacher or professor who has already assigned the Handbook in a course, you are eligible to receive a desk copy of the Coding Handbook. Please note that you are required to submit documentation showing that you have adopted the 2021 ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Coding Handbook for your class or program. Please email your receipt to codingclinic@aha.org.
An ePub file is a popular file format used for storing ebooks and other types of content. Since ePub files are layout agnostic, screen size does not affect the formatting of an ePub file--they can display content on screens as small as 3.5".
There are several eReader options to open an ePub. EPub files can be opened on different eReader devices, including Kobo and Barnes & Noble's Nook. You can also open the file on your desktop using one of the many free ePub reading programs, including Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, or Stanza Desktop. Finally, iPhone and Android devices come preloaded with their own applications to open ePub files--iBooks and Google Play.
Please note that you cannot open ePub files directly on a Kindle, but you can convert the file so it opens on the Kindle device.

Yes, you can download the ICD-10-CM/PCS Coding Handbook ePub to up to six devices, as long as the devices are all registered with the same Adobe ID. Please note that your computer counts as one device.

For ICD-10 quizzes, please make sure you use the alphabetical and numerical characters correctly. (Example: 06H033Z; NOT O6HO33Z)
For ICD-10 quizzes, please be sure to show dotted code when necessary. (Example: K35.20; NOT K3520)
If you have already taken a quiz the results are always available by visiting My Account --> My Quizzes and selecting “See Results.” Any quiz that was taken will appear under that section.
No, the quiz has a save for later option that allows you to stop taking the quiz, save your answers and come back to finish at your convenience.

A purchase code is a code provided when a person buys more than one of the same quiz. This will give a person the option to purchase quizzes for others, which can then be assigned and redeemed by other users at no cost using the code. The purchase code is good for however many quizzes you may have purchased. (Ex. If you purchased ten quizzes, the code may be used 10 times.) If you have purchased a quiz for yourself to take, you do not need a purchase code.
