Praise for the coding book

“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, CAPPM
