Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour. Every chapter closes with its rule stated in a single line, so you can revise the whole book from the rules alone. Then a two-page Coding Lab working full records step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
