To reinforce a student’s understanding, each chapter includes clear and practical exercise questions and answers that progress from easy to more difficult. Appendix C comprises advanced case examples based on actual health records. Additional appendixes explain coding and reimbursement methodologies and reporting of the present on admission indicator—valuable information for new coding students. The AHA’s ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Coding Handbook is the preeminent resource for ICD-10 medical coding students and coding professionals.
