About this title

Synopsis

The ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook is the only guide published in collaboration with the Central Office on ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS of the American Hospital Association (the official industry body that prepares AHA Coding Clinic® for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS). The ICD-9-CM Coding Handbook is designed to train coding students and advance the knowledge of working professionals. Building upon multiple editions of the most widely used textbook in academic settings, this handbook is also an appropriate workplace tool for evaluating the skills of existing staff, prospective coding hires, and temporary agency personnel. In addition to dozens of chapter-based and final review exercises, the handbook contains a built-in workbook of case summary exercises designed for students who have learned the basic coding principles and need additional practice applying the principles to actual cases. The case summary exercises (appendix B) are based on health records of inpatients and out¬patients who often have multiple conditions that may or may not relate to the current episode of care. Some exercises include several episodes of care for a patient in various settings. This With Answers version contains the answers to the in-chapter, final review, and case summary exercises. Supplemental training aids are available online to instructors of recognized health information management programs. Those aids include PowerPoint slides (covering the key points of each chapter) and additional exercises for quizzes, tests, extra-credit work, and employee evaluations. Please visit AHACentralOffice.com and register under Educator Resources to receive these training materials.
