Medical Procedure Codes

Have you ever wondered what those codes on your doctor's bill or health insurance claim form really mean?

Now for the first time consumers have access to the same information that doctors, hospitals, and health insurance companies have been using to communicate information about medical procedures and services with each other for over 20 years. With thousands of codes describing medicine, surgery, laboratory and radiology services and procedures, The Consumer's Guide to Medical Procedure Codes helps consumers verify the accuracy of medical information recorded by their doctors and included on health insurance forms.

The codes listed are the "official" Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes published annually by the American Medical Association (AMA). These codes are required by law for most health insurance claims. Consumers can use this book to find descriptions and other information about medical services, surgical and diagnostic procedures.

Health care professionals should visit the PMIC website for a complete selection of books, forms and software. Please click here to visit http://pmiconline.com now.
