Reseña del editor:

CPT(R) 2017 Professional Edition is the definitive AMA-authored resource to help health care professionals correctly report and bill medical procedures and services. Providers want accurate reimbursement. Payers want efficient claims processing. Since the CPT(R) code set is a dynamic, ever-changing standard, an outdated codebook does not suffice. Correct reporting and billing of medical procedures and services begins with CPT(R) 2017 Professional Edition. Only the AMA, with the help of physicians and other experts in the health care community, creates and maintains the CPT code set. No other publisher can claim that. No other codebook can provide the official guidelines to code medical services and procedures properly. Noteworthy changes to the CPT 2017 code set will be found in the following sections and subsections: Bone Biopsy; Physical Medicine; Laryngeal; Mammography; Hemodialysis Access; Vaccines; Drug Testing and Moderate Sedation. With this edition there is a new modifier and appendix for synchronous telemedicine services. Features and Benefits * AMA EXCLUSIVE!
