As you read this book, you’ll discover that medical billing and coding is a vital cog in the healthcare wheel. After all, the medical biller and coder is the rainmaker of the healthcare industry, turning the healthcare provider’s documentation into payment. Medical billing and coding is way more than codes and insider jargon, though. It’salso about working with people and knowing how to interact with each type of person or business you come in contact with, from patients and physicians to fellow coders and insurance reps a virtual who’s who of the medical world and you’ll be right in the middle of them all! The world of medical billing and coding, what with all the terminology you must master and the codes you need to know, can seem big and a bit daunting at times. After all, there’s a lot to remember and so, so many codes. But don’t worry: Parsing the ins and outs of all the details on how to enter the correct code is what those super-technical coding books are for.

Think of this book as a friendly guide to all the twists and turns you’ll encounter in your medical billing and coding world, from taking the certification exam and finding a job to working with insurance companies and deciphering physician documentation. Not only do I share the ins and outs of the profession itself and what to expect on the job, but I also tell you what you need to know to succeed. What this book isn’t is a book of codes. Tons of great resources are out there that list all the codes you need to do your job properly, and I recommend that you have them handy. Instead, this book is a friendly take on the job as a whole. And, in this third edition, I give you all the details to get you started in this dynamic career, including new information on the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), and fresh news on what is to come in the 11th edition of ICD. My main goal with this book is to introduce you to the wider world of medical billing and coding so that you are prepped and ready to scrub in for this challenging, evolving, and always exciting career. you also can download MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY FOR DUMMIES 3RD EDITION
