Synopsis

The ABC Codes are built upon the belief that this system greatly improves the entrance of CAM and expanded nursing services into mainstream healthcare. The codes provide the infrastructure needed for insurance companies to measure the effectiveness of these services side by side with conventional medicine treatments, thus facilitating responsible patient access to integrated healthcare. This coding system fulfills the need of CAM and nurse providers to accurately communicate procedures and services. The ABC Codes were also built to meet the business requirements of practitioners who file their own electronic healthcare claims to insurance companies. The CAM and Nursing Coding Manual provides a complete overview of the structure codes, samples of the HCFA 1550 and IB-92 forms, how insurance companies use codes, how the system works to support CAM and Nursing, and much more.
