About Medical Management Institute and Contexo Media: The Medical Management Institute (MMI) produces over 100 referential publications and software solutions for the medical coding industry. They offer a single source for acquiring high quality, value-priced coding, self-study and instructional references. Additionally, MMI delivers over 360 educational seminars annually across the U.S. to improve coding practice as well as administer certification and continuing education credits in coding, Medicare regulations and compliance, and medical office management. The Medical Management Institute believes there is no substitute for collaborative involvement of industry experts in the development of these products and services. To further these efforts, they have created the only Peer Review Editorial Board™ in the medical coding industry. The Board is comprised of industry experts committed to providing credible, rigorous peer review in our product development.

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.
