Praise for Coding for Chest Medicine
"ACCP's Coding for Chest Medicine is a must have resource for physicians, administrators, and allied health professionals. It is updated annually to include new and revised CPT codes and is filled with invaluable pearls from national experts in coding, documentation, reimbursement, and practice management. We couldn't practice medicine without it!"
--Kim D. French, MHSA, CAPP
As a private practice physician, I believe the ACCP's educational coding manual to be the single most important resource the Practice Management Department makes available. I look at it at least once a week and recommend all practicing physicians have a copy in their office.
--Richard Hamrick III, MD, MBA, FCCP, Immediate Past Chair, ACCP Practice Management Committee
We do our own billing at our practice and we do quarterly chart audits. When questions arise we always go to Coding for Chest Medicine. We feel the Coding for Chest Medicine is the gold standard of resources for pulmonary and critical care medicine.
We use Coding for Chest Medicine as the main reference for our coding issues. It is far more useful to us than any other coding reference book that we have.
