The ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Coding Handbook is the only guide published in collaboration with the Central Office on ICD-9-CM of the American Hospital Association (the official industry body that prepares AHA Coding Clinic® for ICD-9-CM). This new edition contains:
• Discussions of the format and conventions followed in ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS;
• Basic coding guidelines and introductory material on the supplementary classifications (Z codes and external cause of morbidity codes);
• Guidance on coding signs and symptoms, diseases, disorders, procedures, conditions, complications of care, long-term care, and more, reflecting 2013 versions of the official coding guidelines approved by the four cooperating parties responsible for administering the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS systems in the United States;
• New sections on borderline diagnoses, digestive system procedures, peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, and hysterectomy;
• More than 50 four-color illustrations of anatomy and common disorders and procedures; plus
• An appendix on coding and reimbursement for hospitals, physicians, and non-hospital providers, with new guidance for critical access hospitals.

The ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Coding Handbook is designed to train coding students and advance the knowledge of working professionals. Building upon Faye Brown’s legacy as creator of the most widely used textbook in academic settings, this handbook is also an appropriate tool in the workplace for evaluating the skills of existing staff, prospective coding hires, and temporary agency personnel.

In addition to more than 200 chapter-based and final review exercises, the handbook contains a built-in workbook of case summary exercises (appendix C) designed for students who have learned the basic coding principles and need additional practice in applying those principles to actual cases.

The case summary exercises are based on the 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. The With Answers version provides the answers to the in-chapter, final review, and case summary exercises.

Each digital edition is fully searchable by code, topic, or index. Readers can bookmark, add notes to, and print individual pages as desired. However, readers wishing to complete the exercises must print the page since they cannot fill in the blanks electronically.

She represents the AHA as one of the cooperating parties responsible for the development of AHA Coding Clinic® for ICD-9-CM, the ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, and the ICD-10-PCS Official Coding Guidelines.
