The module is completed with realistic case studies to enhance the training experience. ISBN 978-1-933805-03-2

CC-1002: $75.00
Book

Musculoskeletal System*
The CPT subsection for the musculoskeletal system contains many common procedures performed in emergency departments and ambulatory surgery centers. The guidelines can be difficult to understand and are often confusing. This lesson is focused on providing the user with a wealth of coding information, instilling the confidence to code musculoskeletal system related procedures accurately. ISBN 978-1-933805-04-7

CC-1003: $75.00
Book

Hemic, Lymphatic, and Endocrine System*
To code procedures related to hemic and lymphatic systems accurately, one must have a good understanding of the guidelines related to this subsection.
