Wiki I had to share this great reference with new coders and multispecialty coders

I stumbled onto this and thought I’d share the link. It’s a tool that descries in plain English descriptions for CPT codes. Hope you enjoy. It's only a sample publication, but there is some good info here.

How does one get a copy or book of all procedures?Is there such a beast in a book store
or can you order it.I think it would be very helpful.

Lorraine,

Look for either AAPC's Procedure Coding Expert in the bookstore, here, or look at the website for OptimumInsight (formerly Ingenix) for their Coders' Desk Reference for Procedures.

Cheers,
