Description

Featuring a four-color presentation and student-centered approach, this medical coding book references ICD-10-CM/ICD-10-PCS codes and offers a new approach to teaching this skill. ICD-10-CM/PCS CODING: A ROAD MAP is flexible in organization--appropriate for traditional, modular, linear, and wheel courses--and progressive in its numerous exercises of varying levels. Chapters are constructed around three basic coding skills (abstracting, assigning, and sequencing codes) so students get a strong foundation in these essential competencies. Guided examples teach the coding process, while mini-medical records help students learn how to identify and abstract pertinent information from medical documentation.
