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 compendium of anthrax coding information and advice. Therefore, The Coding Institute organized a task force to provide a special report on anthrax coding.
