Resolved Best Coding Books for 2022 (exam and for work)

[AndreaR_69178]

I am needing to know which coding books are the best to purchase! I need to purchase ASAP so any help is appreciated! I was told the 2022 AAPC books don't have the guidelines at the beginning of each chapter and I would prefer that. I've seen great things about BUCKS books, as I love bright and colorful pages - it makes it easier to find things, etc. Optum360 has the books for an insane price but I can't find out if they have the guidelines before each chapter. I was also told the HCPCS from AAPC has the best book due to tons of anatomy pictures (more than other books). This is such a huge investment that I want to make sure I get the best. Both for the AAPC exam and after as I am hoping to find a job ASAP!

Love this group. Thank you in advance!

I think the Optum ICD-10 has the guidelines that way.
CCO uses Buck manuals.

CCO BHAT® helps with annotated guidelines here.
