DESCRIPTION:
"Great Options" according to Susan. I reluctantly spent my own money for this book so that I could mark it for testing. I thought all ICD-9_CM publications were the same. Ingenix has some great tools(MS-DRG's, ICD-10 listings), great contrast and layout so that things are readable and the notes and other guidelines are not lost in teeny tiny print!! I expect to do well in my test and look forward to a happy life of coding!! Thanks Ingenix!. Frugal Momma & Coder said Fabulous resource!. We use this particular version of the ICD-9-CM where I work, and it is an absolutely excellent resource. In particular, I really love the tips and the CC/MCC excludes guidance. I recently took my CCS exam, and this book was such a great one to have with me. I passed with flying colors!. This is the best ICD9 to use! Bookworm Kelly What can I say? Ingenix really makes the best effort in publishing an ICD9 book that lives up to Expert Status. Very worth the money and was delivered to me in perfect condition. My company bought it for me through Amazon.
