Synopsis

In an easy-to-follow, general outline format, this review focuses on passing the CPC-H coding certification exam. It has been completely updated for 2005 and covers anatomy and terminology for each body area, reimbursement issues, and an overview of CPT, ICD-9-CM, and HCPCS Coding, Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APCs), Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs), the facility claim form (CMS-1450/UB92), the hospital reimbursement system, and outpatient facility coding. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a timed, scored, 150-question practice exam that is modeled on the actual certification exams and is designed to be taken twice ― once as a pre-test and once as a post-test. An additional final exam is given as a capstone to the review.

• The companion CD-ROM allows users to track their learning through Pre- and Post-tests.
• A basic outline format provides figures for reference as needed, making the text easy to use and understand.
• Modeled after the AAPC (CPC-H) exam and includes essential content required to pass the exam.
