"...a great book. I have used this
text since I started teaching. I also used this text as a student."
--Betty Haar, RHIA, Program Director Kirkwood Community College,
Cedar Rapids, IA The American Hospital Association (AHA) is the national organization that represents and serves all types of hospitals, health care networks, and their patients and communities. Close to 5,000 hospitals, health care systems, networks, other providers of care and 37,000 individual members come together to form the AHA. Founded in 1898, the AHA provides education for health care leaders and is a source of information on health care issues and trends. The ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook also continues the groundbreaking work of Faye Brown, a recognized coding expert who authored and contributed to the annual editorial of the ICD-9-CM Coding Handbooks for more than 25 years. The first edition of the ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook was developed by the AHA s Central Office on ICD-9-CM staff and published in 1979. Faye Brown, in cooperation with the AHA's Central Office, authored and revised the 1980-2003 editions. Nelly Leon-Chisen, RHIA, who worked with Ms. Brown for more than a decade, has led the team of contributors who have updated the Handbooks since 2003. Nelly is the director of coding and classification at the AHA, where she heads the Central Office on ICD-9-CM and the Central Office on HCPCS. She represents the AHA as one of the ICD-9-CM cooperating parties responsible for the development of AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM and ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting. Please remember: 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 current coding resources.
