Packed with test-taking tips and techniques, the 2011 2011 CPC? CERTIFICATION STUDY GUIDE delivers a comprehensive review that helps you maximize your success on the AAPC CPC Certification Exam. The study guide begins with a complete summary of the business of medicine, ensuring you have a solid understanding of the medical office and the role the coder plays in the medical office. This study guide covers ICD-9-CM guidelines using real-life examples and each body system is reviewed, including coverage of the anatomy, related diagnosis coding, CPT? coding, HCPCS Level II coding, and modifiers. The end-of-chapter questions are modeled after those on the actual certification exam to help you prepare, while operative notes give you hands-on experience coding what you have learned.
