Synopsis

• Main emphasis on physician documentation in the medical record and application of basic coding rules. Diamond is the ONLY coding textbook on the market that uses this approach! The Diamond workbook is the ONLY workbook in the market that uses full illustrations of actual medical forms used in coding. Most pages in the workbook contained full page illustrations fo actual documents that a student would see in a real medical office. The student uses these documents to complete the exercise.
• Godfrey Medical Associates, a fictional medical practice used throughout the text and workbook to reinforce focus of physician documentation by providing the standard list of physicians and the medical records they document.
• Includes 50-question Mock coding certification exam similar to the AAPC CPC certification exam.

• More emphasis on chart auditing and compliance that will help students sharpen skills in identifying and correcting errors in medical documentation. These will be in the form of additional exercises that will be different from what is included in the core text but tied to the respective core text chapter.
• More critical thinking and problem solving type questions that help students apply concepts learned from the text.
