Description

The most widely used publication for teaching ICD-9-CM to entry-level and experienced coders. It is designed for classroom use. The ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook is the only edition published in cooperation with the Central Office on ICD-9-CM of the American Hospital Association. [The Central Office is an official industry body that participates in the editorial development, preliminary testing, and national committee and congressional hearings on ICD-9 and ICD-10 specifications and rules. Central Office staff are the nation's experts on coding protocols.] ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook provides more than 100 review exercises interspersed throughout the text and at the end of the chapters. These exercises describe additional information about a patient's background or present condition, and allow coders to practice their coding skills on examples that closely resemble actual patient records.
