By combining ICD-9-CM information - the first three volumes of the ICD-9-CM and the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting - this convenient book provides the latest 2006 coding references essential for medical billing, in an easy-to-use format. The 2006 HCPCS are also available via a companion website. This is the revised reprint of the book, which incorporates the 2006 HCPCS into the text. All three volumes of the ICD-9-CM in one convenient book. Includes Level II of the national codes (Level I is CPT codes), which are durable goods (crutches, prosthetics, drugs, etc.) to remind students to code for these often-overlooked items. The latest Official Coding Guidelines, a document issued annually by the CMS, explains the latest coding rules. The CIM and MCM section contains information about carrier-specific or Medicare-specific regulations that affect HCPCS coding. Most other HCPCS code books do not include this information. Artwork pictured next to diseases helps readers understand difficult terminology, diseases, and conditions, or coding in a specific category. An explanation of a disease is located just prior to that disease, which helps students understand more about the disease and ensures they have the correct code. Two distinctive symbols clearly identify all new and revised codes from the previous year. An at-a-glance listing of all new and revised codes for the current year is located in the front of the book to help increase awareness of recent updates.
