Introduction
Congratulations! This SMARTCODER™ digital book
provides you with a revolutionary new way to code
medical procedures and diagnoses for health insurance and Medicare forms in less time and with less effort. SMARTCODER
references you use most often:
Physicians’ Current Procedural Terminology
• 1995
4th Edition (CPT);
International Classification of Diseases
• 1995
vision,
Clinical Modification
• 1995
Health Care Financing Administration Common
Procedure Coding System
Using SMARTCODER
cate CPT, ICD-9, and HCPCS codes simply by entering the words and topics that you find in the medical
chart and other medical records. Once you’ve identified a CPT code, powerful Crosswalks help you find
the ICD-9 and HCPCS codes most frequently related
to that code. Easy-to-view notes help you pinpoint the
correct codes when multiple options apply. And, for
quick reference, you can even place your own notes at
the codes you use again and again.

entries with matches (i.e., occurrences of the search
words) are listed on the menus. The numbers in the
menu titles show how many matches are in each menu.
Note also that you can’t type numbers in a word
