Product Description: By combining ICD-9-CM information - the first three volumes of the ICD-9-CM and the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting - this convenient book provides the latest 2006 coding references essential for medical billing, in an easy-to-use format. The 2006 HCPCS are also available via a companion website. This is the revised reprint of the book, which incorporates the 2006 HCPCS into the text.

• All three volumes of the ICD-9-CM in one convenient book.
• Includes Level II of the national codes (Level I is CPT codes), which are durable goods (crutches, prosthetics, drugs, etc.) to remind students to code for these often-overlooked items.
• The latest Official Coding Guidelines, a document issued annually by the CMS, explains the latest coding rules.
• The CIM and MCM section contains information about carrier-specific or Medicare-specific regulations that affect HCPCS coding. Most other HCPCS code books do not include this information.
• Artwork pictured next to diseases helps readers understand difficult terminology, diseases, and conditions, or coding in a specific category.
• An explanation of a disease is located just prior to that disease, which helps students understand more about the disease and ensures they have the correct code.
• Two distinctive symbols clearly identify all new and revised codes from the previous year.
• An at-a-glance listing of all new and revised codes for the current year is located in the front of the book to help increase awareness of recent updates.
