This book is based on the Official Coding Guidelines effective October 1, 2018. First, the dense, confusing guidelines are translated into plain English. Then the guidelines are placed into tables for easy reference and faster, more accurate coding. But the book doesn't stop with just the guidelines! Other material that is confusing, such as MRSA/MSSA and coding for sepsis, are also explained. This is a great book for coding students and coders already working in the field.
