How to Find and Verify ISBN Numbers for AAPC Educational Books
AAPC educational books, including physical textbooks and ebooks, are essential resources for students and professionals. This guide provides information on ISBN numbers, their availability, and how to verify them for your orders.
General Information About ISBNs
ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a unique identifier assigned to books for easy cataloging and purchasing. AAPC assigns ISBNs to its physical (printed) books, but not to ebooks. If you are looking for an ISBN for an ebook, please note that it will not have one, as ISBNs are exclusive to printed editions.
ISBNs for Physical vs. Ebook Formats
Physical Books: All AAPC physical textbooks come with an ISBN. This number can be used to verify the book's authenticity and to facilitate ordering.
Ebooks: AAPC does not assign ISBNs to ebooks. If you need to reference an ebook, you may need to use the title or other identifying details instead.
How to Verify ISBNs for Orders
If you have an ISBN and want to confirm it matches the book you intend to order, you can:
Check the product description on the AAPC website or your purchase quote.
Contact AAPC customer support for assistance in verifying the ISBN and book details. For example, the ISBN 978-1-63527-745-6 corresponds to the ICD-10-PCS book.
Common Issues and Resolutions Related to ISBNs
Missing ISBNs: If you cannot locate an ISBN for a specific book, such as the CPC course print textbook, it may still be available for purchase. For instance, the CPC textbook is priced at $109.95 plus shipping and tax, even though its ISBN could not be located.
Publisher-Specific ISBNs: For books published by organizations other than AAPC, such as the AMA, you may need to contact the publisher directly to obtain the ISBN.
