Medical Coding in the Real World

Medical Coding in the Real World is a medical coding and billing textbook that combines the intricacies of medical coding in ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, and HCPCS code sets with accessible instruction on how to correctly identify, select, and apply codes to the health record in a real-world setting. Each chapter focuses on a specialty and builds in complexity from topic to topic within each chapter, addressing each in a natural progression that allows students to learn the coding process organically. Chapters contain coding exercises that range in difficulty from simple to complex within a specialty, case studies to code, and required billing forms to complete. A student workbook, sold separately, accompanies this title for comprehensive practice and application of concepts.
