for CPT Coding Hardcover: 480 pages
Imagine more than 400 beautifully rendered medical illustrations from the best-selling Atlas of Human Anatomy coupled with official CPT codes and their unabbreviated procedural descriptions. Imagine no more. The reality is Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy for CPT® Coding. The AMA and the publisher of Atlas of Human Anatomy, Icon Learning Systems, have partnered to create a reference for CPT code book users who want to understand the anatomic structures described within CPT codes. What better way to learn more about the underlying anatomic concepts and their relationship to CPT coding than with this unique, exclusive new publication. View sample pages. A well-grounded understanding of the anatomy involved in CPT procedures and services is essential to coding proficiency. The illustrations and information presented in this book provide readers a natural reference tool for reviewing clinical information and understanding the assignments of coding.
The detailed, true-to-life illustrations are accompanied by concise, informative text and organized by anatomical region, proceeding from the head to lower extremities. Each chapter opens with a brief introduction explaining the features of the particular anatomical region. The inclusion of a special symbol further ties this reference tool to the CPT code book by indicating instances of a corresponding illustration in the CPT® Professional Edition. Brad Ericson, the editor, who manages Physicians' Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) and HCPCS coding products and Medicare Part B data products, has 23 years of health care writing, editing, and publication management experience. He has developed several tools for physician coders, including the CPT® Expert and Coders' Desk Reference. Since joining Ingenix legacy company Medicode in 1994, he has researched and edited several products, managed several official fee schedules for state workers' compensation commissions, and served as a managing editor. Mr. Ericson is a recipient of national awards for his medical and feature writing. He has been manager of communications programs for hospitals and payers and taught journalism and communications at the college level. Mr. Ericson received his master of professional communications degree (MPC) in science and health care writing and editing from Westminster College and a bachelor of arts (BA) in journalism with an emphasis in science writing from Idaho State University. 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. You may also be interested:
