Procedural Coding in Anatomic Pathology: Principles and Applications provides a detailed explanation of the official AMA CPT(R) codebook Standard Edition's provisions related to anatomic pathology laboratory practice. This book offers guidance for initial CPT(R) coding during the specimen's accession, which is validated or changed after the pathologist's report. No current single printed publication presents, from a clinical viewpoint, CPT(R) coding's basic principles in all their complexity that could be used by anatomic pathology laboratory bench workers, pathologists and coding professionals. The book covers complicated CPT(R) coding issues with diagrams, tables, and illustrations. It can be both a practical guide and a source of materials for systematic study of CPT(R) coding in anatomic pathology.
