Textbook and workbook are included - you bring your own manuals to the party. AAPC has best prices on manuals.

Get this 2014 bundle from the AAPC http://www.aapc.com/medical-coding-books/2014/2014-physician-bundle-1.aspx
Hello. Well I got my income tax refund today so I'm ready to move forward on this course. I checked out the bundle of books and had a question. you can add the "2014 ICD-10-CM draft" for a discount. Should I go ahead and get this? There is note included that says "These books can be used for AAPC certification exams (except ICD-10 books)." is there a better book to get?
Also, it appears to me that the PBC course covers medical terminology/anatomy. do I need to purchase separate books for that? thanks so much!

You don't need the ICD-10-CM draft for the course - not until Jan 2015. You'll need it for the ICD-10-CM proficiency but that will come after you get your CPC. Put that on the back burner for right now. Your coach will work with you on when you need to turn your attention to ICD-10. We look forward to having you as a student!

Oh sorry missed that the first time. It sounds like you're registering for our combo coding course + med term course if that's the case then yes you need to purchase the med term book separate. Sylvia will include the link to a special order page once you enroll which will get you a discount. If you want to see the details of the book on Amazon.com here is the link Medical Terminology and Anatomy for ICD-10 Coding
