The Next Step, Advanced Medical Coding: A Worktext (Next Step: Advanced Medical Coding)

admin — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 08:29:37 +0000

This book focuses on physician and outpatient coding for medical visits, diagnostic testing and interpretation, surgeries, anesthesia, and all physician treatments and services. Everything previously learned in the basic Step text is brought together in this book to simulate the professional coding experience. It focuses on patient cases, some with multiple records or reports, requiring readers to differentiate between coding a particular diagnosis or procedure based on a visit to a doctor’s office versus an outpatient procedure at a hospital or similar facility. Instructor resources are available; please contact your Elsevier sales representative for details.

Best-selling coding author Carol Buck has a Master’s degree in adult education and has been teaching in medical secretarial programs for 25 years.
Actual patient cases give examples in every section of the text, cases with multiple reports provide different levels of difficulty, reflecting concrete, real-world situations that coders encounter on the job.
Worktext format allows users to record all answers to the cases directly in the text.
E/M Audit forms developed by the author to determine the correct E/M codes are provided, with extra forms included in Appendix A for use with other cases.
From the Trenches feature highlights a different real-life medical coding practitioner in each chapter, with photographs throughout the chapter alongside practical advice & motivational quotes.

Customer Review: Good Material — Bad concept on CD

I count on Carol J Buck to provide outstanding study materials because I had never been disappointed. After using this book and CD I have to say I am disappointed. The book is o.k. but not as well organized or user friendly as previous and I absolutely hate the CD. It is ridiculous not to be able to check your work (pretest) and try again. Once you submit the pretest your locked out from taking this again. That is not how I study. I prefer to be able to retest over individual sections and be scored as I progress. The 2005 study guide was far superior.

Mastering Medical Coding

admin — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 19:20:15 +0000

This practical approach to coding provides a solid foundation in basic coding principles with an emphasis on learning through realistic physician documentation. It prepares students to tackle any coding scenario, from routine to complex. Chapters begin with an emphasis on basic coding documentation and rules to ensure correct coding for ICD-9-CM, CPT-4, and HCPCS. Progressively difficult coding exercises incorporate newly learned skills as readers advance through the material. The worktext portion of the book and the companion student workbook provide progressively difficult real-world exercises that build the necessary skills of identifying the right codes from real-world medical charts. Learning objectives, numerous examples, chapter reviews, and coding reference tools throughout provide the necessary learning tools to fully master basic and advanced coding concepts.

Coding reference tools make it easy to find important chapter points.

Basic ICD-9-CM and CPT-4 coding concepts are utilized, simplifying the coding of complex cases.

Practical Stop and Practice exercises help you review and build on what you’ve learned.

Chapter review exercises include questions ranging from fill-in-the-blank to practical application.

Certification review is made easy by a bulleted summary of important points following each chapter.

A Coding Reference Tools appendix provides perforated pages that may be removed for quick reference in the classroom or on the job.
Text emphasis is on proper review of actual physician documentation and applying basic coding rules as important first steps in the coding process. This prepares the student to locate and determine the actual “diagnosis” and “procedure” to be coded from the physician documentation, which is a prerequisite skill for locating correct codes and very important for compliance.
- Expansion of ICD-9-CM information.
- Sample patient charts include explanatory notes.
- A simulated medical practice (identified as Godfrey Regional) lets you study in a real-world scenario.
- Key Terms lists highlight the most important vocabulary and content.
- More exercises!
