CCS Coding Exam Review 2005: The Certification Step (Paperback, 2005 ed.)

In an easy-to-follow, general outline format, this review focuses on passing the CCS coding certification exam. It has been completely updated for 2005 and covers anatomy and terminology for each body area, reimbursement issues, and an overview of CPT, ICD-9-CM, and HCPCS Coding, Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APCs), Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs), the facility claim form (CMS-1450/UB92), the hospital reimbursement system, and coding for inpatients. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a timed, scored, 60-question practice exam that is modeled on the actual certification exams and is designed to be taken twice, once as a pre-test and once as a post-test. An additional final exam is given as a capstone to the review.
