Does anyone have one they want to sell? I have a 2011 and think I need the newer version for the CCDS exam. I will pay you and pay shipping.
Thanks so much. Mary Hosler Home 989 695 9737Or you can reply to this email.rmhosler@charter.net

    If you use an older version (and Deanne is right, I think, that ACDIS, unlike AHIMA, does not specify which year the reference needs to be), just be sure you make notation as to the few DRGs that have changed between then and now.

    However, I would think you'd want the newest version not just for the CCDS exam, but just to have as a reference in your daily practice. If you don't use it on a regular basis, there might be one in your HIM department that they'd let you borrow for the test.
