Customer Testimonials
"DecisionHealth coding books are an excellent resource for any coder. The coding guidelines being printed throughout the tabular section are a great reminder when looking up codes. The coding tips assist with providing additional clarity for accurate code selection. I would recommend these coding books for any coder - new or seasoned."

"Within the past few years, I have made several coding book purchases from DecisionHealth including the ICD-10-CM Expert for Hospitals/Payers and the ICD-10-CM Expert for Physicians. As a medical coder, I find both coding books to be very helpful. The detailed illustrations always help clarify some of the codes I encounter daily. I also find the color-coded icons and detailed descriptions and definitions to be very useful. Another valuable feature which I find beneficial are the updated code sets which include extra indicators to identify new, revised, and deleted codes."
