The Medicare Compliance Manual contains over 925 pages packed with the information you need to maximize your Medicare reimbursement and protect yourself from audit liability.

Are you getting tired of searching three or four different books for current information about Medicare? Are you tired of paying hundreds of dollars for books which have some, but not all, of the information you need?

Now you can get all the important Medicare compliance information you need in a single, easy-to-use book at a very affordable price.

Packaged in a deluxe ring binder with tab indexes, the Medicare Compliance Manual is divided into four sections:

Medicare Rules and Regulations — a comprehensive review of all the important and current issues, including participation, coverage, coding requirements, filing Medicare claims, Medicare as Secondary Payer (MSP), Medicare appeals, and Medicare audits, fraud and abuse, completely updated each year.
Medicare Fee Schedule — the official current year RBRVS fee schedule as published in the Federal Register includes CPT™ and HCPCS codes, RVUs, global surgery periods, flags for multiple, bilateral procedures, assistant surgeon and billable medical supplies, and the official geographic practice cost indices (GPCIs).
Medicare Coverage Issues Manual — the most current version of the complete CMS (HCFA) manual by coverage topic in a user-friendly format. Answers your coverage questions with explanations and cross-references to the Medicare Carriers, Intermediary and Hospital manuals.
Medicare E/M Documentation Guidelines — the most current version of CMS (HCFA) evaluation and management documentation guidelines to help you protect your practice from audit liability.

PMIC was founded in 1986. By 1989, from a humble one-book beginning, PMIC became the nation's leading independent publisher and value-added reseller of medical coding, reimbursement and practice management books with a reputation for quality, service and value. Coding and compliance information changes constantly and it is our job to keep up with it so you don't have to. You can trust us to provide you with books that contain the most complete, current, accurate and "official" information available. While our books win a lot of awards, what is more important to us is that our customers love them. That's because we consider our books as "tools" and spend a lot of time thinking about how, when and where our customers will use our products. You can order with confidence, knowing that you will always receive the best, most innovative books available. Because of the industry standard features we introduced to this market, such as spiral binding, thumb-indexing, enhanced color-coding and compact sizing, our publications represent exceptional values to our customers.

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 current coding resources.
