Wiki Pediatric coders

[mom45]

Hello, I'm look for some information re: pediatric coding: ie resources, blogs for coding questions, networking. I've been offered a position as a pediatric coder, I've never done peds before. I've been coding for 6+ years I've done IM/FP and cardiology. I just need to get some helpful information so I can educate myself before Nov 1, that's when I start the position.

Any help would be greatlly appreciated.

I use the Pediatric Coding Companion, and love it! Here is a link to purchase it, if you decide to pursue: https://www.aapc.com/shopping/vbdetail.aspx?title=Coding Companion for Pediatrics - 2013 Peds is a GREAT specialty! Kids seem to get everything, so expect some surprises.
