We call this book the bible for coding. Our teacher tells us to stick to this book for practice since many books contain incorrect examples. It's hard to undo incorrect practice! There are no answers in this book though. I suggest you get the one with answers and cover the answers with post it notes unless your teacher has a copy with answers on hand.My main problem is the lack of examples. For example, there are many coding guidelines for neoplastic (cancer) diseases. All these guidelines are thoroughly explained, but you have to dissect and repetitively read each explanation to make sure you understand the guideline because they don't give a quick example which demonstrates how to apply the guideline to actual coding. There are multiple examples present throughout the chapter as well as the back of the book, but for the purposes of mastery, I wish there were more examples specifically tagged to each guideline.Some of the guidelines are a direct copy and paste from a coding book without further explanation. Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue uses "ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms involving the stomach" as an example. The guideline states that malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are coded to the site of origin mentioned in the documentation, which is pancreas. If you look at a coding manual under pancreas (neoplasm), there is a code for ectopic tissue under pancreas. When would you use that code then? The book could utilize more explanation and an example to allow the reader more understanding of the guideline.Edit:More examplesExample - Aplastic Anemia and PancytopeniaThe book mentions not to assign a code for pancytopenia if aplastic anemia is present.
