"ICD-10-CM/PCS will require 'raising the bar' for coders," explains Elsevier author and coding expert Karla Lovaasen. "Coders will have to be more knowledgeable about procedures, anatomy and physiology, and medical terminology to code using ICD-10-CM/PCS. The sooner the learning process begins, the better."
To help you keep your course at the forefront of coding education, Lovaasen and co-author Jennifer Schwerdtfeger have partnered with Elsevier to prepare a new version of their popular ICD-9-CM Coding: Theory and Practice text dedicated entirely to ICD-10-CM/PCS.
Available in Fall 2011, ICD-10-CM/PCS Coding: Theory and Practice incorporates core coding principles with the ICD-10-CM/PCS Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting (OCGR) to deliver the fundamental understanding coders need to prepare for the future of diagnosis coding in hospital and physician settings.

2012 ICD-9-CM Coding: Theory and Practice with ICD-10 has also been completely updated and is available in Fall 2011.
