ICD-10 Essentials: Determining the Diagnosis 2019 by Optum360

ICD-10 Essentials: Determining the Diagnosis is a companion resource for ICD-10-CM that provides in-depth explanations of everything from the basic format and structure of the ICD-10-CM code set to appropriate application of the coding conventions and guidelines to coding of complex conditions requiring multiple codes with specific sequencing requirements. Using coding examples and case studies, correct code assignment is explained with an emphasis on application of the coding and reporting guidelines. Illustrations, decision trees, and other coding tools designed to enhance understanding of ICD-10-CM and improve coding accuracy are key features in this reference.
