Choose the amount of ICD-10 coverage that's right for your course

Elsevier’s ICD-10 transition plan for core coding textbooks has been updated to give you greater flexibility as you gradually incorporate coverage of ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS into your course.

Now optimized to reflect pre and post ICD-10-CM/PCS implementation, the new transition plan allows you to choose from varying levels of ICD-10 coverage in Elsevier’s core coding textbooks.

The 2012 and 2013 editions of ICD-9-CM Coding: Theory and Practice provide greater emphasis on ICD-9-CM, while Step-by-Step Medical Coding 2012 and 2013 editions include equal coverage of both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM/PCS. Introduced in 2011, ICD-10-CM/PCS Coding: Theory and Practice includes dedicated ICD-10 coverage so you can customize the level of ICD-10-CM/PCS coverage in your course.

Transitioning to ICD-10-CM/PCS: Start Now

As today's medical coding students prepare to enter a challenging and ever-changing coding workforce, they need every advantage they can get — including a comprehensive introduction to ICD-10-CM/PCS.

"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.
