Their roots go back to 1947 with the founding of Medicine and Health -- the oldest health policy newsletter in the country.  They acquired the Washington DC-based Health Care Information Center, including Medicine and Health and 30 other titles formerly published by Faulkner and Gray. They have focused exclusively on providing high-quality news and analysis for professionals who need critical news and information to survive and prosper. They have distinguished themselves from other publishers by providing intelligent analysis of new strategies, rather than simply reporting on industry developments. This important publication is sent to you 44 times annually. It includes news and analyses regarding Medicare Part B reimbursement and regulations, critical to your coding, billing and reimbursement activities. 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 above implementation dates. The best way to do this is to order your coding resources early. Review additional coding resources.
