2009 Edition
With the input of over 100 coding professionals in every possible clinical and professional setting, our peer review editorial team has worked hard to make this the best reference of its kind. We produced this book because the ICD-9-CM book and coding guidelines may not always have all the information you need. The Plain English Descriptions for ICD-9-CM is fully updated and provides coders, medical staff, payers and health care professionals with comprehensive clinical, coding and documentation guidance for over 11,000 ICD-9-CM codes and categories. Coder’s Almanac for Diagnoses reduces the number of errors in code selection and answers commonly asked questions.

Full List of Coding Books: Review all current coding resources here! Please remember that the government no longer allows a grace period for annual code sets. The new HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Rule requires providers to use national medical code sets that are valid at the time that a service is provided. ICD-9-CM code revisions become effective October 1st each year while CPT and HCPCS code revisions become effective January 1st. In order for you to meet this requirement, you must have the revised CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes in your possession before the implementation dates. The best way to do this is to order your code books early. Review all current coding resources here.
