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) takes your coding proficiency a step further by providing hands-on practice with physician documentation. With this guide, you’ll learn to pull the right information from medical documents, select the right codes, determine the correct sequencing of those codes, and properly audit cases.
    • NEW! Coding updates include the latest information available, including 2027 and all coding updates through 2030 when released. Updates available on Evolve.
  • • Real-world anonymized patient cases appear in every chapter for added experiential learning – coding from physician documentation with more complicated coding challenges to apply learning. • UNIQUE! From the Trenches boxes profile real, professional medical coders with photographs and direct quotes throughout the chapters. • Over 145 full-color illustrations. • Unique Evaluation and Management (E/M) Audit Forms.

      • Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
      • Page breaks included from the original print source

      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
