Cracking the codes: A 101-level guide to healthcare’s major coding systems

While it may have been years (or decades) since many of us were full-time students, that doesn’t mean there’s no place for continuing education – even if it’s just a quick refresher on a key topic or two. When working with medical coding terms, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by an alphabet soup of acronyms or think you need an advanced degree to keep everything straight, but never fear – this medical coding company has got you covered.

Whether you’re unclear on the codes used for labs vs. procedures, or could just use a handy guide to get you straight on the basics of each code set, look no further than IMO’s latest resource, Cracking the codes: A guide to four of healthcare’s most common coding systems.

With a forward by industry experts Shelly Jude, RHIA, RHIT, HIT, and June Bronnert, MHA, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, this primer serves as a quick and easy way to brush up on the ins and outs of major medical coding terms and systems. Plus, each section has a helpful tip from the pros themselves. Feel confident in your knowledge of these standardized systems by downloading the guide today – complete with an at-a-glance coding calendar that organizes key releases and updates in one convenient location.

(And if you happen to be an expert-level coder, consider sharing this resource with a colleague who may be too shy – or too proud – to ask. A little learning can go a long way.)
