Product Benefits: - Ensuring students get plenty of hands-on application, the workbook's comprehensive coverage includes real-world case studies and coding exercises for practice on all code sets--ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM/PCS, CPT, and HCPCS--and in all settings.
- Each chapter contains key features of the coding set as well as exercises and case studies from a variety of systems (musculoskeletal, integumentary, etc.).
- Case studies are excerpts from original health records and include diagnostic/procedural statements as well as case studies from both hospitals and physician office settings.
- The workbook emphasizes case studies for ICD-10-PCS--coverage that is lacking in the current marketplace. Highlights of ICD-10-CM/PCS allow for immediate integration into coding curriculums. Workbook answers also spotlight the differences between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM for diagnostic coding to meet the need of preparing the coding workforce for the monumental transition from ICD-9-CM.
- Answers to the coding exercises include rationales linked to official coding guidelines, providing insight into a decision-based coding process. Only partial answers are available for student self practice in the Appendices; the remaining answers are only available to instructors for classroom use. Special "coding notes" and helpful hints are included in the answer key as well.
- "Clinical Coding Checkpoints" provide the link between anatomy/physiology and clinical concepts for coding assignments.
- Two chapters are devoted to computer-assisted coding practice, highlighting the skills necessary for coding professionals to become auditors. Practice exercises are also included for auditing coding assignments.
- Supporting the "real world" coding process, the workbook does not include multiple choice or true/false types of questions.
