Conquer Medical Coding
A Critical-Thinking Approach with Coding Simulations

Take a real-world approach to coding that prepares you for the AAPC or AHIMA certification exams and for professional practice in any health care setting. The book is also a handy resource you can turn to throughout your career.

Unique decision trees show you how to logically assign a code. It's the only text that breaks down the decision-making process into a visual and repeatable process!

You’ll learn exactly how to select the correct ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes. Each section parallels the Official Coding Guidelines, with a special emphasis on commonly used codes. A wealth of learning tools and tips, along with critical-thinking exercises and real-life case studies, provide the practice you need to master coding. Brief reviews of A&P and pathophysiology put the codes into perfect context.

 

MedicalCodingLab.com

This interactive online program guides you step by step through an immersive multimedia experience that tracks your progress until youve mastered the concepts and are ready to apply them in practice. Its your path to medical coding success. An access code inside new, printed texts unlocks Medical Coding Lab.
