Selecting diagnosis codes is faster and easier with Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians. Designed by coders for coders, this full-color manual ensures you learn the most accurate billing and reimbursement codes for medical services provided in physicians’ offices and outpatient settings. As coders need extensive knowledge to code with ICD-10-CM ― and to choose from the thousands of possible codes ― this edition makes it easier with colorful anatomy plates (including Netter’s Anatomy illustrations) to help you understand anatomy and how it can affect your code choices. In addition, it comes with durable spiral binding and includes a companion website with the latest coding updates.

When it comes to medical coding, accuracy is key. Errors in coding can lead to denied claims, delayed reimbursements, and potential compliance issues. That’s why having a reliable and up-to-date resource like Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians is essential for any medical coder.

One of the standout features of this manual is its full-color design. The use of color-coded symbols and text makes it easy to navigate and find the necessary codes and coding information. This visual approach not only enhances readability but also helps coders quickly identify codes that may require special consideration before coding.

Another valuable feature is the inclusion of anatomy plates, including Netter’s Anatomy illustrations. Understanding anatomy is crucial for accurate coding, as certain conditions and procedures may be coded differently depending on the affected body part. The anatomical references in this manual provide a visual orientation and enhance understanding of specific coding situations.

But it doesn’t stop there. Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians goes above and beyond by including the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting (OGCRs) in full. These guidelines are listed in the introduction, at the beginning of each chapter, and integrated within the code set for easy reference to coding rules when they are needed most.

Additionally, this manual incorporates citations from the American Hospital Association’s Coding Clinic®. These citations provide official ICD-10-CM coding advice relating to specific codes and their usage. This ensures that coders have access to the most reliable and authoritative guidance when encountering complex coding scenarios.

The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries in Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians is enhanced with more than 190 illustrations. These illustrations not only serve as visual aids but also provide additional information on common diseases and conditions. The inclusion of these illustrations further supports accurate coding by giving coders a comprehensive understanding of various medical scenarios.

Within specific codes, you’ll find additional elements that define terms and provide coding instructions relating to difficult terminology, diseases and conditions, or coding in a specific category. This level of detail allows coders to code with confidence, even in challenging situations.

To assist coders in ensuring accuracy, Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians includes symbols and highlights that draw attention to codes with special considerations. These include new, revised, and deleted codes, codes with unacceptable principle diagnoses, codes that call for the use of additional characters, and codes with “includes” and “excludes” instructions. By highlighting these codes, the manual prompts coders to carefully review and apply the necessary coding rules.

Additionally, there is a placeholder X symbol that reminds coders to assign a placeholder X for codes that require a 7th character but are less than 6 characters in length. This symbol serves as a visual cue to ensure that no crucial information is overlooked during the coding process.

Another important symbol to note is the manifestation code symbol. This symbol identifies conditions for which it is important to record both the etiology and the symptom of the disease. By capturing this information, coders can accurately represent the complexity of the patient’s condition.

The HCC symbol in Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians denotes diagnoses in the Tabular List that are associated with Hierarchical Condition Categories. This is especially valuable for coders working with Medicare patients, as HCC coding is used for risk adjustment purposes in Medicare Advantage payment systems.

Age and Sex edits from the Definition of Medicare Code Edits are also incorporated into this manual. These edits help coders ensure accuracy by denoting codes that are used only with patients of a specific age or sex. By following these edits, coders can avoid incorrect coding and subsequent claim denials.

In addition to its comprehensive content, Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians stands out with its durable spiral binding. This binding allows the manual to lay flat, making it easy to use while coding. The spiral binding ensures that the pages won’t tear or become damaged with frequent use, ensuring that this valuable resource will last for years to come.

As technology continues to advance, Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians also embraces the digital age. It includes a companion website with the latest coding updates, ensuring that coders have access to the most up-to-date information. This online resource complements the manual and provides a convenient way to stay informed and compliant with coding guidelines.

Published by Elsevier, a trusted name in medical publishing, Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians offers reliable and authoritative coding guidance. The 2024 edition reflects the latest ICD-10 codes needed for diagnosis coding, ensuring that coders have access to the most current information.

Whether you’re a seasoned medical coder or just starting your coding career, Buck’s 2024 ICD-10-CM for Physicians is an indispensable tool. With its comprehensive content, user-friendly design, and up-to-date information, this manual will help you navigate the complex world of medical coding with confidence and accuracy.
