Author Description

Includes all 7,000+ official CPT 2005 codes and full descriptions with all official notes, exactly as published by the AMA, and is loaded with extra features designed to improve the accuracy of your CPT procedure coding. Comprehensive CPT Coding Instructions — includes our complete CPT coding tutorial packed with general instructions and coding and billing tips. Full-color Anatomical Illustrations — includes our unique, full-color, full page anatomical illustrations with CPT code section cross-references. Unique CPT Color-Coding System — features the same color-coding system as our ICD-9-CM and HCPCS coding books to clearly identify CPT codes subject to special coding rules, coverage limitations, and payment restrictions. This unique color-coding system will help you code procedures faster and more accurately, while decreasing your audit liability and potentially increasing your revenues. Compact Size and Larger Print — because we know how little space most of you have for your coding references, we down-sized our book to save you precious work space. The compact size allows us to use a single column format and larger, easier-to-read print. Thumb-indexing and Lay-flat Binding — thumb-indexed to help you locate CPT codes faster, and specially bound so the book stays open exactly where you want it to.
