COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE CLEARLY PRESENTS BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT CODING INFORMATION IN ONE RESOURCE. This all-in-one coding textbook devotes a full chapter to outpatient coding (Chapter 5) and another to inpatient coding (Chapter 7). Chapter 6 contains content about ICD-10-PCS coding. In addition, the author provides key coverage of insurance and reimbursement as well as coding conventions, official coding guidelines and coding of procedures and services.

NUMEROUS ACTIVITIES AND ASSESSMENTS GIVE STUDENTS HANDS-ON PRACTICE AND ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES TO EVALUATE MASTERY. A variety of activities support and reinforce each coding concept and code set, while helpful assessment tools further ensure student comprehension.

STREAMLINED CONTENT WITHIN CHAPTERS SEPARATES GENERAL AND SPECIFIC ICD-10-CM GUIDELINES. To maximize instruction and student learning, general coding guidelines for ICD-10-CM appear in Chapter 2. Official ICD-10-CM coding guidelines are covered in two separate chapters (Chapters 3 and 4) to keep the content for each chapter focused and easily digestible for readers.

MEMORABLE EXAMPLES REINFORCE UNDERSTANDING OF KEY CONCEPTS AND GUIDELINES. Timely, real-world examples integrated throughout each chapter strengthen students' mastery and retention of current coding concepts for all code sets in addition to ICD-10-CM/PCS general coding guidelines and ICD-10-CM chapter-specific coding guidelines.
