CPT Coding Essentials Plastics and Dermatology 2021

By American Medical Association

Optimized for medical necessity and reimbursement understanding, this all-in-one resource focuses on the most important CPT(R) and HCPCS codes for plastic and dermatology, plus medicine and ancillary services codes chosen by experts who have taken into consideration utilization, denial risk and complexity.
CPT(R) Coding Essentials optimizes both CPT(R) and ICD-10 code selection with helpful CPT(R)-to-ICD-10-CM crosswalks and detailed explanations of anatomy, physiology and documentation. Other than the AMA CPT(R) Professional Edition codebook, this is the only book in the market with verbatim CPT(R)-panel-approved guidelines and parenthetical information specific to plastic and dermatology.
This is the ideal daily companion featuring useful, definitive specialty-specific coding information beyond what is provided in a full procedural codebook.
Plastic and dermatology coding and billing knowledge available in a single volume, conveniently superseding the need for multiple resources or years of experience.
