I recommend the same books in the prvious posts and also if you can the CDIP workshop through AHIMA. I had a friend go through the workshop & they were given the "Achieving Excellence" book as a study guide - free w/workshop.
I will say that the CDIP exam is more about Program Development and Management - less day to day- procedures. However, you must know the basics - DRG's Coding, Queries.
The CCDS exam from ACDIS will be updated in early 2016 and Penny Richards is the contact person to reach out to.
The CDIP exam from AHIMA is I think what Jeff was originally asking about and you would need to reach out to AHIMA to find out when they plan to update their exam.
Thanks, Mark
