This book is great at getting one ready for the ICD-10 CM change over that is coming. The chapters have good instructions. The book does come with DRAFT written on every page. I guess to remind us that is is just a draft and not a finished product. I think it is good for beginner coders, but for seasoned coders I think it is better because they know the concepts of coding to begin with.
Best price on the internet for this book. I am a coder and I've recently been told that the "Draft Code Set" will also be the final Code Set.
The format is clear and understandable. I appreciate the use of bolding, italics and color throughout the text. Hands-down, I feel this is the best ICD-10-CM reference out there!
Just when I thought I was through with coding classes when I finished ICD-9-CM, I have to take a class on the new coding sets - ICD-10-CM. So, this book makes the changes from I-9 to I-10 clear and easy to read (the print is very small but readable). I feel this is the book to use because so many things have changed. You will love the way everything is laid out. The only issue I ever have with these books from Optum is that the book is not tabbed. You really have to tab the chapters and Index at the very least to have quick access to the codes. Small problem easily fixed with some inexpensive tabs from any stationary store. Highly recommended.
I am taking online courses through AHIMA's Distance Ed. They do not mandate having a paper book as they give you online links to reference. I am old school and need that paper resource. I make notes and like to handle the book just as I did way back when learning ICD9. I recommend coding professionals of all levels to purchase your ICD10 books through . They arrived quickly and were priced right. Now is the time to begin this journey, don't wait till Oct 2014 to begin your training!
Very easy to use/understand and find the codes I need. I plan to get another one for our clinic site.
I bought this guide for an Abnormal Psychology class, as the DSM-5 was required and we were required to do diagnosis in-class, I was told this would be a helpful addition. The majority of the book is designed for people in the medical field, so if you are a Psych student then you'll probably only use a very very very small section of this book. I would recommend the abbreviated version if you are a Psych student and dead set on getting this book. That being said, all of the V-codes I have needed for diagnosis are also listed in the DSM-5. I am in the graduate program and perhaps I will need this book down the line (even though I have been told we won't be doing diagnosis professionally), but for the time being this book is the equivalent of buying an extra large unabridged dictionary for a class that will only cover 20-30 vocabulary words in the semester. If you are short on cash, and not going into a diagnosis field, just the DSM-5 is sufficient.
We have less than one year before we change over from one coding system to another. This is a drastic change in my field, and this book is the most recent version of the new system. I recommend that all coding professionals purchase this item.
