Help your students master advanced coding skills! Buck’s The Next Step: Advanced Medical Coding and Auditing shows how to code for services such as medical visits, diagnostic testing and interpretation, treatments, surgeries, and anesthesia. Real-world cases (cleared of any patient identifiers) take your students’ coding proficiency a step further by providing hands-on practice with physician documentation. With this guide, students will learn to pull the right information from medical documents, select the right codes, determine the correct sequencing of those codes, and properly audit cases.
-

- More than 150 full-color illustrations depict and clarify advanced coding concepts.
