ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Coding Handbook, with Answers, 2016 Rev. Ed.
Description
The ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCD Coding Handbook is the only guide published in
collaboration with the Central Office on ICD-10-CM/PCS (formerly, Central
Office on ICD-9-CM) of the American Hospital Association. ICD-10-CM and
ICD-10-PCS are the HIPAA codesets scheduled to replace ICD-9-CM in the US on
October 1, 2015. Handbook content reflects 2015 versions of the Official
Guidelines for Coding and Reporting and AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM and
ICD-10-PCS content published through May 2015. The Handbook s format and style
of presentation follows that of previous editions inspired by the Faye Brown
approach to coding instruction. The text leads students to logical answers and
provides primary supporting sources. This logical approach has allowed the
Handbook to become the most popular textbook for hospital and physician office
coder training. Exercise questions and answers are presented in clear,
technically correct language that progress from easy to more difficult.
Exercise answers in the case summaries list assigned and appropriately
sequenced codes, followed by a comments section that explains how codes were
assigned and why other codes were not assigned. Each chapter includes an
overview that highlights important points, as well as learning outcomes and
terms to know features that help readers understand and absorb new
information. A Remember… feature provides sidebar comments or facts that
alert readers to special information or perspectives. Expanded indexes enhance
the speed of finding and applying new information. Supplemental training aids
are available online to instructors of recognized health information
management programs. Aids include PowerPoint slides (covering the key points
of each chapter) and additional exercises for quizzes, tests, extra-credit
work, and employee evaluations. Please visitand register
under Educator Resources to receive these training materials. Scores of
Exercises and Quizzes The Handbook contains more than 200 updated in-chapter
exercises, case examples, and final review questions. Appendix C contains a
complete workbook of case-summary exercises for more advanced practice. The
case-summary exercises are based on actual health records and require readers
to consider the patient s condition as well as medical history, reason for
admission or encounter, laboratory results, procedures performed, and the
diagnoses listed. Readers must apply pertinent coding principles and official
coding guidelines in making code assignments and designating the principal
diagnosis and procedure for each episode of care. More than 50 four-color
illustrations of anatomy and common disorders and procedures make it easier
for readers to remember and absorb complex information. Additional appendixes
explaining reimbursement methodologies and present on admission indicators
will be especially valuable to new students. Read more
