Clinical information to support diagnosis coding assignments.

In order to accurately code for specialty services, you need to understand the clinical background of diseases, medical procedures, and anatomy. But all too often, this important information is listed in multiple, disparate clinical and coding resources. Researching can be a time-consuming and cumbersome process.

To help you boost coding accuracy and save time, we’ve compiled all vital information into one, comprehensive resource. No matter what your skill level, this book will help you support accurate, timely reimbursement through correct diagnosis coding and support medical necessity with clinical background.

Features and benefits


  • Lay descriptions. Get easy-to-understand descriptions of common cardiology diagnoses to help you recognize troublesome diagnoses for your particular specialty, including those that are typically denied and included in RAC and OIG audits.
  • Common characteristics. Know the key commonalities between codes in similar classifications to ensure accurate, precise coding and billing.
  • General symptoms. Recognize the general symptoms associated with cardiology diseases so that you know what should and should not be coded.
  • Complications. Identify conditions that may occur because of the presenting diagnosis. Ensure that you are appropriately representing the level of severity and reporting medical necessity to support accurate reimbursement.
  • Diagnostic procedures. Understand which procedures are commonly performed to identify a diagnosis.
  • Differential diagnoses. Recognize conditions that may present in a similar manner but require separate reporting.
  • Coding tips and references. Know what to look for in clinical documentation so you can fine tune physician queries and improve communication between physicians and coding and billing staff.
  • Associated conditions. Know what other conditions may also occur and be considered for separate reporting to accurately represent severity and justify the level of  service and procedures reported.
  • ICD-10 transition preparation. Understand how anatomy symptoms and complicating conditions are represented by cardiology diagnosis codes to provide vital education for staff in preparation of the ICD-10 transition.
