CPT CODING MADE EASY illustrates, through step-by-step description and examples, over 2,000 of the most frequently performed and difficult to understand medical and surgical procedures - defines every medical term in each of these CPT procedure codes as well as those used in the examples and accompanying text. CPT CODING MADE EASY is like 3 books in 1--a medical dictionary/medical terminology book, a surgery and medical procedure textbook, and a medical coding manual. It is a reference that will grow over time to include more and more procedures, coding information and medical definitions. It will always be up to date with the CPT book. Extensive procedure related coding notes provide guidelines, reminders and tips for billing specific procedures for optimal reimbursement and audit protection. Separate guidelines are provided for physician and APC/ hospital outpatient applications. In addition to extensive sections on surgery and medicine, special sections on complex orthopedic and tissue transplantation (plastic) concepts clearly explain the "jargon" used in many procedure codes for those specialties. Another section of codes for frequently performed laboratory procedures is also included. The Radiology section is a "coding interventional radiology resource" provides extensive guidelines for properly coding and reporting the professional and technical components of diagnostic radiology imaging, ultrasound and all interventional radiology procedures. "CPT CODING MADE EASY is a true coder's handbook. It serves as a dictionary and text, as well as providing clear instructions for the application of CPT codes to specific physician's services... The book is written so that people without a background in medical terminology can understand the description of the services represented by each group of CPT codes. The discussion provides the coder with sound information to make an informed decision regarding the application of the most accurate CPT code...efforts such as (this one) make the lives of all the coders out there easier. We thank you for it!" -Lora A. DeWald, RRA, VP, Health Information Management, Presentation Health System, Sioux Falls, SD
