Precision coding is easier with this 2009 ICD-9-CM for Physicians, Volumes 1 & 2, Expert. With critical coding and reimbursement edit alerts on the same page as the code you need, you can quickly reduce your claim delays and denials through more efficient use of your time. Reap the benefits of additional valuable coding resources at your fingertips while staying current with email alerts of changes to the ICD-9-CM code sets.


 
  • Ingenix Edge—Exclusive color coding and symbols for all critical coding and reimbursement alerts. Improve coding accuracy and efficiency with intuitive symbols and color codes that alert you to crucial coding and reimbursement issues.
  • Ingenix Edge—AHA’s Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM references for official coding advice. It’s not just for hospitals. AHA's Coding Clinic provides the official coding advice that every coder in every health care setting must follow for ICD-9-CM.
  • Ingenix Edge—Symbols identify V code sequencing restrictions. Quickly identify when V codes can be used only as primary or only as an additional diagnosis.
  • Ingenix Edge—“Additional Digit Required” symbol in tabular and index. Color-coded symbols indicate whether the code is invalid without a fourth or fifth digit.
  • Exclusive—Coding tables. Simplify coding for more complex diagnoses that require more research and additional steps—improving the accuracy of code selection and reducing time spent selecting codes.
  • Exclusive—Valid three-digit code list. Know at a glance whether a three-digit code is valid for submitting a claim—improving coding accuracy and reducing denied claims due to use of an invalid code.
  • Summary of new code changes for 2009. Eliminate the guesswork and reduce denied claims due to use of outdated codes.
  • Definitions and illustrations. Verify correct code selection using clinically oriented definitions and illustrations that give the user an in-depth understanding of anatomy and disease processes.
  • “Unspecified” and “Other Specified” code alerts. Use these codes only when the medical record documentation does not contain enough information to assign a more specific code or when a more specific code for the diagnosis is not available.
  • Current official code set with instructional notes and conventions and complete official coding guidelines. Comply with HIPAA transaction and code set requirements to avoid delayed or denied claims and costly fines for violating HIPAA requirements.
  • Manifestation code alert. Clearly identify and properly use codes that represent manifestations of underlying disease, and be alerted when two codes are required, improving coding accuracy and reducing denied claims.
  • Age and sex edits. Know which codes have restrictions on their use based on age or sex of the patient—reducing claim delays and denials. 
  • New and revised code symbols and dated pages. Quickly identify new code information and the date of the most recent change so you can perform accurate retrospective claim audits. Dictionary-style headers, QuickFlip™ color tabs, legends and keys on each page. Save time and improve coding efficiency by locating a specific section more quickly.
