Medical coding is a process where you enter abbreviations on medical charts. A pamphlet can be helpful in learning the words and the abbreviations for those words. The abbreviations can be written on index cards so that the student can study for quizzes. Students learn the medical lingos seen on charts where medical coding is used, such as a doctor's office or a hospital.

Take a real-world approach to coding that prepares you for the AAPC or AHIMA certification exams and for professional practice in any health care setting. The book is also a handy resource you can turn to throughout your career. Unique decision trees show you how to logically assign a code. It's the only text that breaks down the decision-making process into a visual and repeatable process! You’ll learn exactly how to select the correct ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes. Each section parallels the Official Coding Guidelines, with a special emphasis on commonly used codes. A wealth of learning tools and tips, along with critical-thinking exercises and real-life case studies, provide the practice you need to master coding. Brief reviews of A&P and pathophysiology put the codes into perfect context.
