Editorial Reviews

Review

My students and I only use the MMI / Contexo HCPCS Level II coding book. After conducting hundreds of review classes across the United States, I've experienced attendee's using other major publisher HCPCS books having great difficulty cross-referencing and finding information because it was either located inappropriately, or missing all together. This resource is one of the least expensive and is loaded with additional resource information such as Medicare Coverage Issues and quick look up lists. It is essential for anyone billing supplies and services including DME suppliers, physicians, amubulance companies and outpatient hospital coders who need to map HCPCS to the correct APCs. --Robin Linker, CPC, CPC-H, CCS-P, CPC-P,MCS-P, CHC
