The FIRST coding book BY otolaryngologists FOR otolaryngologists!
The Essential Guide to Coding in Otolaryngology: Coding, Billing, and Practice Management details how to properly and compliantly code for both surgical and nonsurgical services. It is a practical guide for all otolaryngologists in the United States and fills the gap in training residents and fellows in coding with a readable yet searchable book. Included are sections on otolaryngology coding basics and advanced issues, claim submission, and ICD-10-CM.
Focused entirely on a practical approach to coding, billing, and practice management, this text is user friendly and written both for the practicing physician and the coder. A physician's income is tied to the ability to code and good revenue cycle processes; thus, he or she must properly bill and collect for services provided. As profit margins are squeezed, the ability to optimize revenue by compliant coding is of the utmost importance. The Essential Guide to Coding in Otolaryngology is vital not only for new physicians but for nearly every otolaryngologist in practice.
Key Features
- All chapters written by practicing otolaryngologists, health care providers, practice management, and coding experts
- Discussion of the foundations of coding, billing, and practice management
- Otolaryngology subspecialty-focused discussion of office-based and surgical coding
- Robust index for easy reference
Reviews
"The rules and regulations surrounding coding, billing, and practice management are complex, variable, and updated on a regular basis. This all-star group of editors does an outstanding job of presenting the guidelines in an easy-to-understand, straightforward, and logical way, through which the reader can efficiently not only learn the basics and the advanced nuances of billing and coding, but also utilize the text as a reference for quick, to-the-point answers that arise on an ad hoc basis. . . . The strengths of the text include the combination of the expertise brought to bear on this challenging discipline, while maintaining a structure and template that reads well across the various disciplines. In addition, the text is extremely current, with focus on areas of high-frequency denials, controversies that providers are challenged with in the current payment structure, and discussion of current technology that is still working its way through the reimbursement system."
—Robert R. Lorenz, MD, MBA, Cleveland Ohio, in Head & Neck (March 2, 2017)
"A ring bound multi-author text of 33 chapters, it achieves a remarkable uniformity of style. ...Most chapters freely discuss 'controversial areas' and the perils of incorrect coding. ...Both office and hospital care are covered in basic principles, but also for every possible procedure, from robotic surgery, to investigation of sleep disordered breathing. ...Obviously, for US readers this is essential and a reference fundamental to practice."
—Liam M. Flood, FRCS, FRCSI, Middlebrough, UK, in the Journal of Laryngology & Otology (October 2016)
