Apply your knowledge by assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures for a variety of patient settings, and use the CD-ROM to take practice exams to target areas that need further study.

This book contains thorough updating of the law, changes in rules of procedure, and standards that keeps you and your student's current on changes in the law and practice. Competency maps in each chapter allow your students to sort quizzes by domain or number of questions, making for more efficient studying.

"I would highly recommend this book to colleagues. It is an excellent study guide that assists the coder in determining their strengths and weaknesses in ICD-9-CM and CPT Coding. Two years ago, I recommended the CCS PRG to a hospital coder, she bought the book and she studied for six months and she passed the CCS for the first time." -Deborah L. Cross, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, Adjunct Instructor, Lamar Institute of Technology, Beaumont, Texas
