With its easy-to-use format, 269 case summary exercises as well as 100-plus chapter exercises, and thoroughness of detailed explanations Faye Brown's Coding Handbook has earned the position as the leading book for coder training in hospitals and academic settings. It helps coders understand the principles behind the classification system so they can apply the official coding advice contained in AHA Central Office publications, such as the AHA Coding Clinic®. Nelly Leon-Chisen, RHIA and a team of AHA Central Office staff contributors have carried on Faye Brown's work and have reviewed, updated and improved the Coding Handbook.

The Coding Handbook content reflects the latest official coding guidelines and presents examples in clear, technically correct language. The answers to the case summary exercises list the assigned and appropriately sequenced codes, followed by a comments section that explains how the codes were assigned and why some codes were not assigned. Course outlines, study exercises, and performance evaluation tests are easily arranged around Handbook chapters; and, an expanded index enhances the speed of finding and applying information. The Handbook is a proven tool for use in hospitals and physician office settings. It can be used to test and screen prospective coding candidates and to evaluate the skills of coding staff.
