The ICD-9-CM is designed for the classification of patient
morbidity and mortality information for statistical purposes and is also
used by health care providers to substantiate the need for patient
treatment. This workbook offers practitioners of all levels a
comprehensive introduction to working with this coding protocol.
Specific guidelines for coding are presented in six sections
corresponding to types of illnesses (i.e. infectious diseases, mental
disorders, etc.). The Windows- and Macintosh-compatible CD- ROM contains
PowerPoint presentations as well as quizzes and midterm and final exams.
The fourth edition adds chapters on ICD-9-CM volume 3 and ICD-10-CM.
