I used to buy the standard version instead of the professional edition. I was wrong. This professional edition is very detailed and gives you insights on what codes can be included together on a same claim or not.

One of the AMA cpt codebooks allowed for reference when taking the CPC certification test. I like the Professional Edition because it has the sections and subsections color coded which helps find what you're looking for faster.

This is an excellent resource for non-physician epidemiological researchers who need to deal with electronic insurance claim records. The book is well organized, the typography is conveniently color-coded, and the index is comprehensive and easy to use.
