See 2022 Update This book includes the guidelines for PCS coding for 2021 (effective October 1, 2020). New for this edition: decision trees for root operations and approaches; and quizzes to test yourself on the 7 characters required for each code. The book takes the confusing guidelines and places them into easy-to-use charts in plain English. Covers surgical, obstetrical, medical and surgical-related, ancillary and new technology sections. Each body system is discussed separately with guidelines and sample coding for common procedures. Finally, a PCS dictionary is included. This book was developed by a coding teacher to help her students and others understand the complicated and confusing coding guidelines.
