Is the ICD-10-CM Physician Edition Manual Allowed for Testing?

Question: I am interested in the Risk Adjustment (RAC) Course and will be purchasing the ICD-10-CM Physician Edition. I noticed that the AAPC has a different ICD-10 book listed for CRC exam/test? They show the Expert for Providers and Facilities. Will they accept the Physician edition when I sit to test?

Answer:  Yes you can still use the ICD-10-CM Physician Edition manual for the CRC exam.
