Congratulations! This SMARTCODER™digital book
provides you with a revolutionary new way to code
medical procedures and diagnoses for health insur-
ance and Medicare forms in less time and with less ef-
fort. SMARTCODER™combines the three coding
references you use most often:
• 1995
Physicians’Current Procedural Terminology ,
4th Edition (CPT);
• 1995
International Classification of Diseases , 9th Re-
vision, Clinical Modification , 4th Edition (ICD-9-CM);
• 1995
Health Care Financing Administration Common
Procedure Coding System
, 7th Edition (HCPCS).
Using SMARTCODER™, you’ll be able to quickly lo-
cate CPT, ICD-9, and HCPCS codes simply by enter-
ing the words and topics that you find in the medical
chart and other medical records. Once you’ve identi-
fied a CPT code, powerful Crosswalks help you find
the ICD-9 and HCPCS codes most frequently related
to that code. Easy-to-view notes help you pinpoint the
correct codes when multiple options apply.And, for
quick reference, you can even place your own notes at
the codes you use again and again.
