Designed to parallel the content of Carol J. Buck's The Next Step, Advanced Medical Coding 2011 Edition, this practical workbook lets you practice applying your abstracting and decision-making skills to realistic coding cases similar to what you'll encounter on the job. Code from actual medical records with patient details removed and gain the experience you need to ensure success in your coding career.
- Realistic patient cases simulate the professional coding experience and strengthen your application and critical thinking skills.
- Challenging review cases follow the same answer format as the textbook and help you transfer textbook knowledge to actual medical record documentation.
- A two-color design makes it easy to find specific features and streamline your review and practice.
Updated content reflects the latest coding developments so you can practice with the most current information available.
