Oncology & Hematology Coding Alert
Anthrax Coding Report Free on Web
Published on Tue Jan 01, 2002
Physicians and other healthcare professionals who provide services to any patients with actual or possible anthrax exposure know that the encounters must be correctly coded. This is necessary for accurate health records and insurance claims; it is also mandated by law.
Until now, however, there has been no central compen-dium of anthrax coding information and advice. Therefore, The Coding Institute organized a task force to provide a special report on anthrax coding.
This 16-page report has been posted free of charge on our Web site at www.codinginstitute.com/extra/anthrax.
