Looking for 2012 Updates?
The ACCP is working to transition to a Web-based, searchable electronic format for its coding, reimbursement, and practice management resources.

New Updates for 2012:
- CHESTÂ Physician September 2011, page 31
- CHEST Physician November 2011, pages 34-35
- CHEST Physician December 2011, pages 22-23

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
