BEDFORD, Mass. - Nov. 17, 2016 - PRLog -- To assist coders in mastering ICD-10-PCS procedure coding including the significant changes for FY 2017, nationally recognized ICD-10-PCS expert and Libman Education instructor Lynn Kuehn has revised her ICD-10-PCS course series and textbook.

"ICD-10-PCS continues to challenge inpatient coders and the 2017 ICD-10-PCS updates are significant  — 3,827 new codes, 491 revised titles, and 12 deleted codes — as well as significant changes to cardiovascular coding," said Lynn. "The updated textbook and course series provide what coders need to understand and master in the ICD-10-PCS coding system, including the updates. The textbook provides a thorough PCS reference guide; the course series takes one from beginner to advanced in minimal time."
