1 Welcome to The Complete Procedure Coding Book! This book is part of a three-book series that instructs students on how to become proficient in medical coding a health care field that continues to be in high demand. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes the demand for health information management professions (which includes coders) will continue to increase incredibly through 2018 and beyond. This series of books was written to speak directly to the medical coding student using step-by-step instructions and conversational language to maximize understanding. Built into the structure of these texts are many opportunities for students to practice coding and apply what they have learned. Students will also have the chance to practice abstracting with real-world health professionals documentation and accurately translating these facts into the best, most accurate codes. TO THE STUDENT Your medical coding classes introduce you to the skills you will need to work in the health information management field. A fundamental role of an insurance coding and medical billing specialist s job is to work with the insurance companies that will reimburse the health care facility for the services and treatments provided to patients. You may be employed by a hospital, clinic, doctor s office, health maintenance organization, mental health care facility, insurance company, government agency or long-term care facility. Your career will be challenging, interesting, and one of the top ten fastest-growing Allied Health professions. Before you begin your adventure, here are some tips to help you succeed: First, take a deep breath. Coding is complex and is not like anything else you have tackled before. Remember that you are learning a new skill! Give yourself some time to become proficient. Second, never code directly from the alphabetic index. Always look the code up in the tabular list before deciding on a code. If you remember this rule, you will always head in the right direction. Third, when you encounter a word or abbreviation that you don t understand, stop and look it up in your medical dictionary. Your instructor can recommend a medical dictionary for you, or you can purchase McGraw-Hill s Medical Dictionary for Allied Health (ISBN: ). Fourth, after you finish coding the case studies, scenarios, or whatever you are coding, put it all aside. Then, later or the next day, go back and do back coding. In the tabular list, look up each code x
2 you came up with and match the code description carefully with the case study or scenario words. This is a very effective way to double-check your answers. Your fresh eyes will enable you see words and notations you may have missed before. Finally, reevaluate your work by checking each and every question to make certain you understand how you found your answer. When you find you have gotten an exercise, test question, or other activity wrong, try to figure out what happened. Make sure you ask your instructor for help when you need it! Good luck on your medical coding journey! TO THE INSTRUCTOR Shelley Safian s Medical Coding Series includes three books: The Complete Diagnosis Coding Book (ISBN: ) The Complete Procedure Coding Book (ISBN: ) You Code It! Abstracting Case Studies Practicum (ISBN: ) These books are designed to give your students the medical coding experience they need in order to pass their first medical coding certification exams, such as CCS/CCS-P or CPC/CPC-H. The books offer students a variety of practice opportunities by reinforcing the learning outcomes set forth in every chapter. The chapter materials are organized in short bursts of text followed by practice keeping students active and coding throughout! Instructor Resources McGraw-Hill offers extensive resources on the Online Learning Center for our textbooks.

3 WHAT S NEW IN OUR SECOND EDITION The Complete Procedure Coding Book, second edition, has been revised to include a greater number of realistic scenarios and case studies for students to gain hands-on learning with the popular Let s Code It! scenarios and You Code It! case studies. Keys to Coding a new feature for this edition make it easier for students to connect learning concepts and specific official guidelines to critical thinking. And, of course, we have added an entire new chapter covering ICD-10-PCS (using the 2010 code set version). Another new feature, Bridge to ICD-10, prepares students for transition to ICD-10. Throughout the book, more anatomy and physiology descriptions, as well as more information on inclusive signs and symptoms, enhance your comprehension of the procedure coding process. The entire text has been updated using 2011 CPT, 2011 ICD-9-CM, and 2011 HCPCS Level II. The instructor s manual will have a 2011-compliant answer key to all end-of-chapter tests: Chapter Reviews (multiple-choice questions), You Code It! Practice (short scenarios), and end of chapter You Code It! Simulation (full physician s notes/operative reports).
