Book excerpt: Optimized for medical necessity and reimbursement understanding, this all-in-one resource focuses on the most important CPT® and HCPCS codes for ophthalmology, plus medicine and ancillary services codes chosen by experts who have taken into consideration utilization, denial risk and complexity. CPT® Coding Essentials optimizes both CPT® and ICD-10 code selection with helpful CPT®-to-ICD-10-CM crosswalks and detailed explanations of anatomy, physiology and documentation. Other than the AMA CPT® Professional Edition codebook, this is the only book in the market with verbatim CPT®-panel-approved guidelines and parenthetical information specific to ophthalmology. This is the ideal daily companion featuring useful, definitive specialty-specific coding information beyond what is provided in a full procedural codebook. Ophthalmology coding and billing knowledge available in a single volume, conveniently superseding the need for multiple resources or years of experience.
