Workbook for Step-by-Step Medical Coding 2011 Edition, 1e

Strengthen your ability to code accurately and obtain the correct reimbursement for medical services with this helpful workbook. Specifically designed to parallel the content of Carol J. Buck's Step-By-Step Medical Coding 2011 Edition, it provides more than 1,000 questions and terminology exercises (with odd numbered answers provided), as well as over 90 original source documents to familiarize you with the materials you'll encounter in practice. This edition now includes questions covering the ICD-10-CM diagnosis coding system.

• More than 1,000 questions and terminology exercises follow the same answer format as the main text to improve your coding and critical thinking skills (with odd numbered answers provided).
• Chapters 1-30 contain three types of activities/exercises: theory (fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and true or false questions), practical (line coding exercises), and reports (coding from original source documents) to help you evaluate your understanding and ability to apply concepts to real-world situations.
• Chapter 31 also includes exercises on principle diagnosis and sequencing to help prepare you for inpatient coding challenges.
• Chapters 13-31 feature ICD-10 dual coding where every workbook question with an ICD-9 answer is provided with the matching ICD-10 code.
• Original reports, cleared of all confidential information, simulate real-world experience in such areas as:

• Arthroscopy
• Fracture repair with skeletal fixation
• Muscle repair
• Bronchoscopy
• Adenotonsillectomy
• Thoracentesis
• Endarterectomy
• Cesarean delivery
• Tubal ligation
• Amniocentesis
• Laboratory
• Pathology

• Updated content reflects the latest coding developments so you can practice with the most current information available.
• New ICD-10-CM chapters prepare you for the upcoming 2013 transition with plenty of theory, practical, and reports questions covering the ICD-10-CM diagnosis coding system.
