Written by highly respected coding expert Gloryanne Bryant, RHIA, CDIP, CCS, CCDS, this handbook provides the information coders and CDI professionals need to ensure physician documentation meets the ICD-10 specificity requirements necessary for accurate and compliant coding. It will help coders and CDI staff better understand what to look for in documentation and how to query physicians more effectively.

The third edition has been updated to help ease the transition to ICD-10, which provides greater specificity than ICD-9 and will require far more specific documentation in the medical record.
