Review:

I would highly recommend this book to colleagues. It is an excellent study guide that assists the coder in determining their strengths and weaknesses in ICD-9-CM and CPT Coding. Two years ago, I recommended the CCS PRG to a hospital coder, she bought the book and she studied for six months and she passed the CCS for the first time. Deborah L.
