Introduction to CPT Coding: Basic Principles to Learning, Understanding and Applying the CPT Code Set

Since 1966, the American Medical Association has maintained Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) as a coded set that clearly and comprehensively describes the clinically recognized and generally accepted services provided by health care professionals to individual patients and populations. This introduction is designed for use in courses for future coders, medical students, medical assistants, medical insurance specialists, and other health care providers. It should be used with a copy of the code itself. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
