submitting a secondary claim, posting payments and appealing the
insurance carrier's decision. Numerous case studies and patient files
are included throughout to demonstrate refunds and appeals, auditing,
and compliance, Medicare calculations, and professionalism. The Third
Edition includes 2017 ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes; information about
the ramifications of the Affordable Care Act; and current information on
health care changes, trends, and the future of health care.
