Wiki Coders' Specialty Guide 2017: Ophthalmology/Optometry

Hi has anyone used this book before? Does it have CPT and Dx codes? I just want to know if it is worth the cost and I can't find a sneak peek of the book anywhere.
Thanks!

My "go-to" book is the Optum360 Coding Companion for Ophthalmology, which gives more detail on each CPT and the appropriate Dx codes for each, as well as rationale for using each code. Not to say your book won't do the same, but this one has not steered me wrong in over eight years of using.

Hope this helps!

Yes, I use it and it's worth the money. Has CPT, descriptions, ICD-10 cross reference, CCI Alerts, Coding tips...
