Publisher's Synopsis
Here's a handy time-saving tool you will use again and again as you start integrating the ICD-10-CM nomenclature and code set into your practice. On October 1, 2015 all HIPAA covered entities transitioned to the ICD-10-CM. This spiral-bound quick reference guide will help simplify this transition process with easy access to the new code set. It lists ICD-9-CM codes for the most common pediatric diagnoses right alongside their ICD-10-CM counterparts so you can always be sure you are making the most appropriate code conversion. In addition, this guide will help streamline pediatric diagnosis coding for ICD-9-CM and includes basic guidelines for selecting appropriate codes for commonly encountered pediatric diagnoses and diseases. All codes are indexed by diagnosis and organized alphabetically for easy identification. This guide also includes a glossary of key medical abbreviations.
